SPS IPC Drives
Automation trade fair remains in Nuremberg for the long term
SPS IPC Drives, the leading trade fair for smart and digital automation, will remain in Nuremberg. This has been agreed by the owner of the event, Mesago Messe Frankfurt, and NürnbergMesse as the host venue.
For Martin Roschkowski, Managing Director of Mesago Messe Frankfurt, the extension of the contract is primarily associated with positive opportunities for the future: "Our customers want planning security and positive framework conditions. They will find both at SPS IPC Drives in Nuremberg. This benefits both the trade fair and the exhibition venue. Messe Frankfurt has extensive experience in organizing high-tech trade fairs and in Nuremberg we find the right environment to further develop SPS IPC Drives dynamically."
Dr. Roland Fleck, CEO of the NürnbergMesse Group, sees the Franconian metropolis of Nuremberg as the ideal exhibition venue for SPS IPC Drives and emphasizes the synergies at the location in this context: "Nuremberg is located in the heart of 'Automation Valley'. This is where the companies and research institutions that are driving 'Industry 4.0' worldwide are located. NürnbergMesse is also home to a number of successful technology trade fairs. So it is only logical to organize SPS IPC Drives in Nuremberg." Uwe Behm, Member of the Board of Management of Messe Frankfurt, adds: "As an exhibition organizer, we and all our subsidiaries pursue the strategy of always holding events where supply and demand are most closely matched. Nuremberg and SPS IPC Drives are therefore a perfect match."
In 2017, more than 70,000 trade visitors (three quarters from Germany) came to find out about the innovative offerings of 1,675 exhibitors (two thirds from Germany) on 130,000 square meters. As a trade fair, it covers the entire spectrum of industrial automation - from simple sensors to smart, digital automation solutions.
