It’s impossible to think of any product without the sometimes highly complex manufacturing processes behind it – however large or small the company or product might be. All industry sectors require intelligent packaging strategies along the entire value chain, encompassing warehousing, logistics and even administration. The widespread global relevance of the areas covered by interpack and the high calibre of both exhibitors and visitors make interpack in Düsseldorf every three years the go-to international event for a highly knowledgeable specialist audience. THE ENTIRE VALUE CHAIN AT ONE TRADE FAIR. interpack is the essential event for the food, beverage, confectionery, bakery, pharmaceutical, cosmetics, non-food and industrial goods sectors. No other trade fair in the world represents the entire supply chain. And at no other trade fair does the packaging industry provide all industry sectors with tailored solutions and innovative designs based on such a variety of materials. For processing and packaging. For distribution, consumer and product piracy protection. Protection against contamination, spoilage and damage and for proper handling. This is because only an integrated approach can meet the standards set by old and new markets, social change, evolving consumer habits and rapidly changing trends, and ensures success across the board. All in all, the 2,700 exhibitors from 60 countries are exposed to a highly qualified audience at interpack. INNOVATION BEGINS AT INTERPACK Make new contacts, acquire new clients and leave your mark with an innovative stand design. interpack is a must for global players, innovative mid-sized companies and traditional small businesses alike. It’s where you see technological progress first. interpack also thinks way outside the box. It’s a trendsetter for progressive and visionary concepts and ideas in the global field of sustainability. Numerous complementary events held during the show provide visitors and exhibitors with valuable inspiration. INSPIRATION FOR THE NEXT THREE YEARS. There is more to see in the 18 exhibition halls than you can pack into a week and you can’t get such a comprehensive, up-to-date overview of the competition anywhere else in the world. Around 170,000 specialist visitors from 190 countries are all potential contacts for you. Make sure you’re there from 04-10 May, 2017 when the professionals meet in Düsseldorf. We’re also active between each interpack, supporting our exhibitors with global trade fairs in regional sales markets. 97% OF ALL PARTICIPANTS RECOMMEND THE TRADE FAIR. You’ve probably noticed that, as the organisers, we are more than a little enthusiastic about interpack. But the feedback from participants is just as positive. Whether they are an exhibitor or a visitor, anyone who’s been to interpack wants to return. 7 174,798 VISITORS FROM 163COUNTRIES 2,670 60 EXHIBITORS FROM COUNTRIES OF NON-EUROPEAN VISITORS HAVE A FIRM INTENTION TO BUY 96% RECOMMEND INTERPACK 8 AND OF EUROPEAN VISITORS NUMBERS COUNT.

For them, interpack is quite simply the number one industry event, introducing innovations along the entire value chain. For every individual link. 10 THE INNOVATIVE 8 OVATE FROM GLOBAL CORPORATIONS TO FAMILY BUSINESSES. Company size is not a criterion when it comes to attending the world’s biggest trade fair for the packaging industry and all of its associated processes. This is because all companies are looking for a solution – for everything from production to warehousing, administration and logistics. No matter whether they make sugar cubes, protein building blocks or aerated concrete blocks – or the packaging for them. VISIONARY TRADITIONS. TRADITIONAL START-UPS. Over the next few pages, we’ll be introducing you to eight companies representing the eight interpack sectors. We consider their approach to be outstandingly innovative. Highly traditional companies with new ways of thinking and completely new ones identifying with old values. Global players and start-ups. Processes, packaging technology and ultimately the packaging itself all have an important role to play for all of them. Because packaging is part of the product and the concept behind it. Because it gives it a unique appearance. Because the product simply wouldn’t make it from A to B without packaging – or all of the above. 11 FOLLOWFISH is bound to have lots of imitators soon. Smart packaging with tracking codes could soon be standard. 12 FOOD FOLLOWFISH TRANSPARENT BOX. NUTRITIOUS IDEAS FOR THE FOOD SECTOR. The complexity of the food sector seems incalculable - handling processes or logistics could fill up a trade fair all on their own. No other branch has so much to do with damageable products, rules and regulations. Trends change at an alarming rate and are very far-reaching. Consumers are becoming increasingly critical. This sector has the responsibility of countering wastage and loss of food along the entire supply chain. To meet all of these demands, the food sector is very much focused on innovative processes and intelligent packaging. HOOKING A GLOBAL TREND. followfish doesn’t see itself as a brand but as a movement “that stands for transparency, sustainability and real flavour. A movement synonymous with a different world of food. A world where producers have a face again. A world where resources are not wasted but treated with care and handled holistically and sustainably. A world where we live from yields again instead of reserves”. These are the company’s own words. And everything is so seamlessly traceable, such as every individual ingredient from the tracking code that followfish prints on the packaging. The consumer can see that the tuna on their pizza was line-caught by Mahmud Rizal in the Philippines on 17/04/2015 and topped with Spanish olives in Meduno. The sector needs pace-making ideas like these, and the ideas need a focal point: May 2017 in Düsseldorf To more films, images and stories. interpack.com/food JUST THE FOOD WE’VE BEEN WAITING FOR 95% OF EXHIBITORS SHOW INNOVATIONS RELEVANT TO THE FOOD SECTOR. 13 BEVERAGES 14 TRUE FRUITS HONESTY IN A BOTTLE RAISING A GLASS TO THE BEVERAGE SECTOR. No other sector has a greater thirst for innovation than the beverage industry. Or as many constants. Take the German Purity Law (Reinheitsgebot), for example. Wine corks. The perennial question of whether to use PET, beverage cartons made of composite materials or glass. The variety of packaging materials and options is exciting for engineers and product designers – and the challenges are considerable throughout the production line. End users are increasingly demanding and critical. The environment and its resources demand responsible behaviour. One little start-up had a big, new idea – and seems to be doing everything right. true fruits from Bonn, Germany. TRUE FRUITS – Pureed fruit and vegetables with no other ingredients. The company’s founders brought the idea back with them from Scotland. There, they made up for the lack of vitamins associated with their life as business economics students (especially the nights) with an excessive consumption of thick fruit smoothies available from every supermarket. And they thought to themselves: “We can do that too, and we can do it much better”. SMALL COMPANY, BIG IDEAS. When it started in 2006, the company had three employees and a turnover of €40,000. By 2013, the company had 19 employees and was making €7.6 million. Can you really achieve that by doing things properly? You bet! Honesty, purity, high quality and transparency are the soul of the business. Qualities that are expressed really strongly through the packaging: ceramic-printed cylindrical 250ml and 750ml glass bottles with a purist design and screw top. RECYCLING IS SO YESTERDAY. These disposable bottles (45% recycled glass) have lots of fervent fans, and it would break their hearts to throw them into the glass bin. They give them a second, third and even fourth creative life as chandeliers, spice jars and bird feeders. The company has responded to this consumer enthusiasm for clever packaging with its own clever upcycling range. There are two stainless steel attachments – one for pouring and one for sprinkling. So each disposable bottle has more future uses than many returnable ones. DRAW ON ABUNDANT RESOURCES OVER HALF OF EXHIBITORS ARE ACTIVE IN THE BEVERAGE FILLING SECTOR. 15 TRUE FRUITS disposable bottles still have plenty of plans for when they are empty. The company sells its own upcycling accessories for fans To more films, images and stories. interpack.com/beverages 16 17 CONFECTIONERY HALLOREN ROUND AND ROUND THE CONFECTIONERY INDUSTRY IS A STABLE SECTOR. According to the Federal Association for the Confectionery Industry, Germans chomp their way through around 32kg of sweets per year per head, and their appetite is growing. Across the world. The appetite for new ideas, flavours, textures, colours, shapes and packaging is increasing, too. But costs are rising at the same time, especially for raw materials. There is an excellent recipe for meeting these demands with a cool head: new concepts, fresh ideas and efficient technology! FRESH TRADITIONS. The roots of the Halloren company go back to 1804. It has survived wars, name changes, remodelling and expropriation and has always known how to keep reinventing itself. By blending an old craft with the current zeitgeist. But the soul of the business orbits round a melt-in-the mouth centre: the Halloren ball. It reminds you of a button on the clothing worn by “Halloren” guildsmen, and by now anyone who isn’t from Halle or nearby will be asking “what’s that?” CHOCOLATE WITH SALT. “Halloren” were members of the prestigious brotherhood of salt workers – craftsmen. Their job wasn’t a sweet one – they boiled the salt from Halle brine. They wore guildsmen’s clothing with heavy round buttons – the inspiration for the Halloren balls, which were invented by the Halloren VEB chocolate factory in 1952 and became the most popular sweet in the former East Germany. Today, you will find Halloren’s huge confectionery assortment in the well-stocked confectionery trade in 150 countries. 18 Web link To more films, images and stories. interpack.com/confectionery THE BALL IS ROLLING. There is no question of standing still at Halloren. They have some of the most up-to-date production lines in Europe and they are all finelytuned for success. Halloren nearly went under in 1992, but 700 employees in the Confectionery, Chocolate and Industry divisions are now readying themselves for further growth – mainly in Asia and North America. With strategic takeovers and exciting innovations. Their product development department is currently working on refined, 100% vegan chocolate creations. The charming Oh Là Là collection is aimed at fashion-conscious young ladies. It would be interesting to see what a praline collection for the “male management in the packaging industry” target group would look like. interpack 2017 is bound to provide valuable inspiration. MELTS IN THE MOUTH FOR 1,500 EXHIBITORS IN THE CONFECTIONERY SECTOR, INTERPACK IS THE ABSOLUTE NUMBER ONE TRADE FAIR. 19 HALLOREN You might say that Halloren owes its success to ball bearings. The famous Halloren balls from Halle, Germany can now be found all over the world. 20 21 22 BAKERY PRODUCTS LIEKEN WATER, WHOLEMEAL, SOURDOUGH AND TIME SOMETHING’S HAPPENING IN THE BAKERY INDUSTRY! The wide variety of bread in Germany is unique in the world. Since 2014 German bread culture even appears on the exclusive UNESCO list of goods worthy of protection as world cultural heritage. In interpack’s home country there are some 300 types of bread and 1,200 biscuits. In Germany some 83kg of bread and bakery products are consumed per head – including croissants, pizza, frozen and home-baked products. The industry is enjoying increasing growth with more and more being consumed on the move. After all, what is better suited to a mobile, fast lifestyle than bakery products and what offers more choice even 6,000 years after it was invented? Web link To more films, images and stories. interpack.com/bakery PIONEER AMONGST BAKERS. Fritz Lieken not only deserves to be known as the inofficial father of whole-grain bread, but also as the official initiator of the industrialisation of the baker‘s craft. Lieken passed his master baker’s exam in 1919, took over a closed-down bakery near Bremen in 1922 and in 1926 made the fans of his wholemeal bread happy by making it sustainable for longer by pasteurising his products packed in tin foil. And because he was also smart enough to build the first wire mesh oven, Lieken was soon able to deliver his Urkorn bread throughout the country and laid the foundation stone towards making it one of Germany‘s most famous brands. 100 YEARS OF INNOVATION. In the last 20 years of its almost hundred year existence, Lieken has tested various recipes for company strategies. Today the Lieken Group is a public limited company and 100% subsidiary of Agrofert and is one of the market leaders in the bakery industry – with packed fresh breads bearing the German brands GOLDEN TOAST and LIEKEN URKORN. Lieken also produces bakery products for private labels and bake-off stations as well as delivering daily in the early morning hours to 21,000 retail businesses – with its own IFS (food)-certified logistics subsidiary Logi-K. RISES WELL VIRTUALLY 50% OF EXHIBITORS DRIVE THE BAKERY INDUSTRY WITH THEIR IDEAS. DAILY BREAD. Lieken works continuously to optimise its products and its production across the entire supply chain. Sustainable management of energy and resources and use of regional raw materials are firmly anchored in the company’s statutes. A major goal has been achieved: “CLEAN LABEL“ – all of the LIEKEN URKORN and GOLDEN TOAST products are completely without additives. This is an ambitious undertaking. As ordinary and simple as bread may appear, care and knowledge are required in the manufacture, especially when it is industrially produced – after all, not everything can be done more quickly by using machines. If it needs time, it needs time. Raw materials have to grow. Yeast has to rise and dough needs to rest – however great the pressure of innovation. 23 PHARMACEUTICALS PUREPHARMA PURE CONVICTION A HIGH DOSE OF INSPIRATION. interpack works on the pharmaceutical industry like a high-dose vitamin shot. You won’t see such comprehensive, effective and long-lasting inspiration anywhere else. Companies will find solutions for all their manufacturing, packaging and logistics requirements for highly sensitive substances. The growing problem of product piracy – and naturally how to solve it – is also an extremely important issue for interpack 2017. Innovative primary packaging is just one example. SELF-TESTED. Dissatisfaction can be extremely productive, and the emerging Danish company PurePharma proves just that. Its founders are athletes who take their training seriously. Their bodies require a large supply of nutrients, to higher standards with a different make-up from what is required by non-athletes – and in greater volumes. Not seeing anything they liked on the giant supplements market, the founders decided to make what they wanted for themselves: the purest micro-nutrients, vitamins, essential fatty acids and proteins. PHARMACEUTICALS ARE A SPECIAL CASE. The international sale of highly specialised pharmaceutical products is a science in its own right. Countless approval and test procedures, hygiene and packaging regulations have to be adhered to and scientific research has to be carried out, of course. It was a hard graft for PurePharma before the company met its own standards for purity, naturalness and effectiveness: their benchmark was perfection. 24 To more films, images and stories. interpack.com/pharmaceutics LIFE AND WORK ARE AS ONE. When you love what you do, there is no boundary between work and play. Their HQ overlooking the sea is also a fitness studio. Their portfolio contains four products and a self-test for establishing individual nutrition requirements. This is healthy, lean growth. Another PurePharma strength is its packaging. Stripped down to the essentials, the powerful design embodies the founders‘ inner attitude and corporate philosophy: less is more. But only when less means best. PUREPHARMA A healthy portion of perfectionism in secure packaging. COMPULSORY CHECK-UP SOME 1,800 EXHIBITORS GIVE MOMENTUM TO THE PHARMACEUTICAL INDUSTRY WITH THEIR INNOVATIVE PROCESSES AND PACKAGING SOLUTIONS. 25 PurePharma employees don’t go to the cafeteria at lunch time. They go to their workout equipment. 26 27 WELEDA produces natural remedies and cosmetics and has been an innovative force for nearly a hundred years. 28 COSMETICS VISIONARY SINCE 1921 GREAT OUTLOOK. Just one trip to the drug store looking for shampoo along the endless aisles of haircare products is enough to make you realise that you do not have to worry about the cosmetics industry. But there’s one thing you still need to understand: if you don’t want to end up looking old, you can’t do without innovation. And sometimes the most innovative people aren’t the youngest by any means. IT‘S NOT JUST A MATTER OF APPEARANCE. Back in 1921 in the peaceful Swiss town of Arlesheim, nobody would ever have thought that anthroposophy – human wisdom – would one day be the foundation of an international company producing cosmetics and remedies. Not even Rudolf Steiner himself. The term anthroposophy comes from the Greek “anthropos“, meaning human, and “sophia“, meaning wisdom – and together they denote a holistic view of human beings going beyond biology and physiology. It naturally has an impact on all areas of human life, and not just the skin. YOUNGER THAN EVER BEFORE. Weleda was practising biodynamic agriculture before “organic“ had even been invented. Even today, all raw materials are cultivated in Weleda gardens around the world according to anthroposophical principles. “With smaller and larger businesses, cultivation projects, cooperatives and pickers. It’s a simple equation: the result can only be good if things are handled with care at every stage of the production process“. Which is why Weleda uses not only glass and metal tubes for packaging its products, but tubular bags and plastic tubes, too - with a clear conscience. WELEDA HOLISTIC CORPORATE STRATEGY. Weleda was a niche company, but went on to become the originator of the natural cosmetics boom. Its products are available from Arlesheim to Alaska. Without the slightest blemish to values or quality. Weleda’s holistic view of human beings nurtures the company in everything it does. Responsibility does not end when a product is sold. They have an academy for advance training in naturopathic cosmetics and medicines, with courses for midwives, doctors, complementary practitioners and chemists. Weleda is committed to advocating for or against socially relevant developments. Weleda is currently campaigning with midwives in Germany to improve their professional status and security.

Sustainability has a massive influence on decisions to buy, whether it’s a matter of long-term purchases, everyday items or pure luxury goods. Every three years you can be inspired at interpack where you will see how the non-food industry brings together economic and ecological interests under one roof in an innovative way – across the entire supply chain. This is where you will find answers to questions on trendsetting processes, cost-efficient logistics, tracking technology and secure packaging appropriate to the content. For manufacturers of fragile goods this is, of course, particularly relevant. To more films, images and stories. interpack.com/non-food STRONG DEMAND ONE IN THREE EXHIBITING COMPANIES AT INTERPACK HAS SOMETHING INTERESTING UP ITS SLEEVE FOR THE CONSUMER GOODS INDUSTRY. 32 KPM is a company where the symbiosis of past and present assumes the most beautiful shapes. 33 34 LEAVING THINGS AS THEY ARE CAN BE HIGHLY INNOVATIVE. KPM (Royal Porcelain Factory, Berlin) is one of the oldest established artisan businesses in Europe – and one of the most expensive. The people who work here are not just craftsmen but also artists and arcanists – keepers of secrets, who guard their recipes for the “white gold” and their knowledge of the finer details of the highly complex manufacturing process like treasure. Every piece that leaves the factory proudly bears the blue sceptre logo – as it did when the factory was founded by the Prussian King Frederick II in 1763. It has experienced much since then – only narrowly surviving. MADE TO STAY. Since 1763. This is how the company expresses a tradition that looks to the future. The factory has been adding new recipes to its secret repertoire since 2006: traditional shapes and designs blend and integrate with those of contemporary visionary artists and products from other worlds – the automobile industry, for instance. And emphasis is placed on the power of communication and marketing through exhibitions, brand experiences and a lively factory culture. All so that a unique cultural asset can live on in precisely that endlessly slow, complex and irreplaceable artisan craft – alongside industrial production processes. And what does KPM need to ensure that these globally sought-after works of art make the journey from the Spree to the Yangtze or the Hudson River unharmed and by a method appropriate to the precious contents? Primary packaging. And secondary packaging as a precaution. And maybe even tertiary packaging… 35 INDUSTRIAL GOODS YTONG FROM XELLA STACKED LOW THE INVISIBLE SECTOR. You can’t eat, drink, wear, process or use what they make right away. It doesn’t provide any immediate consumable services. Activity in the industrial goods sector is largely unseen, which is a pity, as it is amazingly versatile. It creates essential products in often exciting ways, the logistics of which is another amazing area all of its own due to the sheer size of the product. One outstanding example: YTONG aerated concrete blocks – a brand firmly set in the minds of all. To more films, images and stories. interpack.com/industrial FULL PACK OVER 1,300 EXHIBITORS SHOW YOU THE MOST CLEVER WAY TO PACK INDUSTRIAL GOODS. 36 WHAT COLOUR IS AERATED CONCRETE? That’s right: bright yellow. Who hasn’t seen the big yellow cubes with the solid black logo? Aerated concrete masonry blocks produced by the Duisburg, Germany-based company Xella are now a byword for this building material. YTONG has been packed in the distinctive yellow film since 1967, and the high profile of the brand proves that brand management is a worthwhile activity, even in the industrial goods sector. YTONG was invented in Sweden in the 1920s. Back then, it was called Yxhults ånghärdade gasbeTONG – steam-hardened aerated concrete. It helps to have baked a cake if you want to understand how YTONG stone is made. Take some finely ground quartz sand, chalk and cement and add a hefty dose of aluminium salt (recycled product) to act as a raising agent, expanding the volume of the aerated concrete with tiny evenly distributed bubbles. After it has set, the semi-solid raw blocks are trimmed exactly to size and steam-hardened at 200°C. Once the material is dry, air remains in the pores as a heat-insulator. YTONG is identifiable immediately. The industrial goods sector would do well to follow this recipe for this level of brand awareness. Torsten Schinkel in the yard at the plant in Brück, Germany. 37 INNOVATIVE AS EVER. YTONG was already an eco-friendly building material before the term even existed. The material is natural and the resources inexhaustible; it is economic, lightweight, heat-insulating and durable, production is energy-efficient and occurs in a closed loop. The production process doesn’t release any pollutants into the air, water or soil. Processing allows the highest degree of precision, meaning little waste. Recycling and recirculating the yellow film and PE/PP plastics saved 444 tonnes of CO2 in 2013 alone. According to data from the “Schutzgemeinschaft dt. Wald“, a recognised nature conservation association under the Federal Law for Nature Conservation, this volume is the equivalent to the weight of 6,094 apple trees. Why not knock on the walls of your company building? YTONG might be closer than you think. YTONG has been packed in yellow film since 1967. And a branded product entered the world of industrial goods. 38 Pre-dried aerated concrete is steam-hardened at 190°C under 12 bars of pressure. 39 Daniel Bosselt from BOSCH Packaging Technologies is in a cheerful mood. He is pleased to see that components 2017 is an integral part of interpack. 40 COMPONENTS THE SUPPLIER TRADE FAIR AT INTERPACK MORE THAN THE SUM OF ITS PARTS THE COMPONENTS SPECIAL TRADE FAIR BY INTERPACK turns interpack 2017 into a great twin pack. Conveniently, this supplier trade fair for the packaging industry will be taking place at the Düsseldorf exhibition grounds in 2017, making it an integral part of the leading trade fair interpack. If you produce drive, control or sensor technology or industrial imaging products, COMPONENTS is the trade fair for you. And if you manufacture handling technology, industrial software and communications or fully automated systems for packaging machines, you are guaranteed to find your target market at COMPONENTS. INTERPACK DELIVERS AN AUDIENCE TO SUPPLIERS. Producers and suppliers of machine parts, components, accessories and peripheral devices and of course producers and suppliers of packaging components and resources – all will have the undivided and highly-qualified attention of people attending the event. To more films, ONE TICKET. ONE WAY. The new concept of locating COMPONENTS in its own hall right at the heart of interpack on the exhibition grounds means a visit to this supplier trade fair is not only a must but an absolute pleasure. So, if you decide to exhibit at COMPONENTS, you benefit directly from the huge volumes of visitors to interpack – and vice versa. INDIVIDUAL STAND CONSTRUCTION. Unlike the first COMPONENTS trade fair in 2014, you are completely free to design your own stand in 2017. You can find detailed information now on www.interpack.com/ packagingcomponents and starting in autumn 2015 register there as an exhibitor. images and stories. interpack.com/packagingcomponents 41 Together, COMPONENTS and interpack cover every millimetre of the value chain. This means that no company is too small to attend – you just need to think big! 42 43 NOT LETTING A SINGLE GRAM OF FOOD GO TO WASTE. INNOVATIONPARC is the show’s own forum for specific future-oriented special topics. 2014 was totally devoted to SAVE FOOD, as the SAVE FOOD exhibition was held here while international stakeholders were attending the SAVE FOOD Congress at the conference centre (CCD South) at the same time. 1.3 BILLION TONNES PER YEAR. A slightly bruised apple. Leftovers from lunch. A yoghurt one day from its “best before” date. It all adds up. It is unbelievable how much food goes to waste throughout the world. Whether it goes off somewhere along the supply chain before it can be eaten – or whether excess and ubiquity make people forget the importance of food. THE PRODUCT OF 9,596,961 KM² OF FARMLAND GOES TO WASTE. Dr Ren Wang of the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) of the United Nations made it very clear in his speech at the SAVE FOOD Congress in 2014: “Imagine if the volume of food wasted and lost around the world were a country: it would be bigger than China. Food would be produced on its farmland that nobody would actually eat. This country would be the biggest consumer of water for irrigation and the biggest producer of greenhouse gases. Nobody could live in such a country“. INTERNATIONAL ALLIANCE AGAINST LOSS AND WASTE. The amount of hunger around the world makes such loss and waste even more shocking. This is why Messe Düsseldorf and interpack created the SAVE FOOD initiative in conjunction with the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) of the United Nations and the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) in 2009. It brings public stakeholders along the entire value chain together in unique and effective ways. On an international scale. Where politics and economics meet - and the place where they meet is innovationparc. AGENT PROVOCATEUR BETWEEN POLITICS AND ECONOMICS. The food industry, trade, packaging and logistics – numerous dials that can be adjusted to optimise our approach to food and combat hunger. We need to change the political framework. Improve the agricultural economy. Improve our control of demand and consumer behaviour and make production sustainable. Not least of all, we also need to come up with clever and sustainable packaging concepts. Where better than interpack? You will hear international experts speak on the subject. And see innovative concepts that help to expand our environmental awareness. You can join now: www.save-food.org ANNUAL GENERAL SAVE FOOD MEETING. In May 2015, the creators of the SAVE FOOD initiative held their annual general meeting with industry partners, NGOs and research organisations at the headquarters of Nestlé AG in Vevey, Switzerland. The demand for attending the event was much higher than the number of places available. This shows the urgency of the issue and the success of our initiative. 44 INNOVATIONPARC / SAVE FOOD The major topic at innovationparc in 2014 was the SAVE FOOD initiative. You can only feed a growing population with dwindling resources through innovation. 45 SHARE IN THEIR SUCCESS! INTERPACK is indisputably the number one international trade fair for the packaging industry and all related processes. But the concept is too successful not to share it with others. Thanks to our partner trade fairs around the globe, we can be there with you, helping you expand into growing markets. There is always a Messe Düsseldorf event being held somewhere around the world. Particularly in emerging countries, the demand for foodstuffs and packaging machines is an indicator of increasing prosperity – and business opportunities for you!

THEY ABOUT CORA HELBERG DIRECTOR GLOBAL ACCOUNT MARKET DEVELOPMENT, CONSTANTIA GROUP INTERPACK “interpack is the best platform for achieving market visibility. We want customers to get to know us, and interpack gives us the perfect opportunity to show off the many options we offer. Visitor quality is high, as interpack is THE go-to event and companies send their top people from around the world. We achieved all our goals this year and are very happy with the results“. Paolo Pusceddu Director Global Account Market Development, Coesia Group 48 “For visitors, there is nothing like it anywhere else in the world. The only show with a highly knowledgeable specialist audience“. Markus Rustler Managing Partner, Theegarten Pactec FOLLOW US: Y SAID THE PERFECT PLATFORM. “interpack addresses current issues“. Richard Clemens International Trade fair, Markets, Economy, VDMA “We had a great audience. The right balance of sectors across the many different exhibition halls is a real selling point of the show“. Thorsten Giese Marketing Manager – PR & Exhibitions, Ishida “The biggest trade fair event in the world. Absolutely stupendous!“ Dr. Andreas Blaschke Management Board Member, Mayr-Melnhof Karton AG “interpack is a firm date in the sector‘s calendar! We acquire high-quality new customers here“. Andreas Wegeleben Director Global Marketing & Communication, Bizerba Albert Klinkhammer CK 2014 Marketing & Communication Director Europe & International, Mondi 97% of people attending the last interpack say that the trip to Düsseldorf was more than worth it. 49 South of the city centre of Düsseldorf and just behind the historic Old Town, the Medienhafen district is now home to the media and new architecture – and some spectacular restaurants and luxury hotels, too. DESTINATION DÜSSELDORF 50 ENGINE FOR INNOVATION TURBO FOR BUSINESS DÜSSELDORF IN MAY would be worth a trip on its own – even without interpack. Some Düsseldorf residents lovingly call their state capital Petit Paris, and other original inhabitants have never heard it called that. But it would be a mistake to reduce Düsseldorf’s charm to its stylish flair und elegant shops along the Königsallee (the Kö). You would miss a lot: Düsseldorf‘s arts scene and collections are world-famous. Düsseldorf‘s new architecture has global standing. And the city is still unbelievably green. Experience the fresh green of May for interpack. The Rhine winds its most spectacular curves round Düsseldorf, with beaches and wide meadows in the city centre. It is absolutely possible to walk along the Rhine to interpack from your hotel in the city or cycle there on one of the public rental bikes – that’s how close the exhibition grounds are to the centre. A taxi takes 15 minutes from the airport at the most. Even if a whole seven days isn’t enough to see everything at interpack, you have to include a little bit of Düsseldorf itself. Here are some of the interpack exhibitor service team‘s personal favourites. 51 You can’t complain of a lack of eating choices at any level in Düsseldorf. There are 300 bars, clubs and restaurants in half a square kilometre of the historic Old Town alone. DINING AT THE MEDIENHAFEN. _Pascal Versen Düsseldorf doesn’t just do historic – it also does young and new. Famous architects, Frank Gehry for example, have run rampant in the former docks. And their designs have ensured that lots of creative industries have settled here. There are also quite a lot of rather good restaurants. Roberts Bistro was already there when the docks were still an industrial wasteland, and I think it’s still the best restaurant in the area. Good, loud and always full. You have to get used to rubbing shoulders with other diners at the narrow tables.... ROBERTS BISTRO Wupperstraße 2, 40219 Düsseldorf www.robertsbistro.de A MUST: PUB CRAWL ROUND THE HISTORIC CENTRE. _Thomas Dohse Superlatives are of course never far away when you’re mad about a city, BUT the longest bar in the world is still an amazing fact. It doesn’t get much better than a pub crawl from one Altbier bar to another in early summer – ideally with brewery attached. It’s easy to get to know the locals, as Düsseldorfers “love to chat“. ALTSTADT Ratinger Straße and environs 40213 Düsseldorf MUNCHING ON WORKS OF ART. _Carolin Claßen There is a small French confiserie in Carlstadt that could even be mistaken for a jeweller’s – its little cakes and macaroons are so charmingly beautiful. And unbelievably delicious! You can sit outside in the fairytale rear courtyard. And forget about deadlines and calories. The café is called Pure Freude (Pure Joy). And it’s just that. 52 PURE FREUDE Hohe Straße 19, 40213 Düsseldorf www.purefreude.de HIDE AWAY IN THE ROSE GARDEN. _Marie-Luise Schläfke I’d really rather not tell you this. The loveliest place in Düsseldorf is the rose garden behind the Stadtmuseum – which, by the way, is also totally underrated. If you’re lucky, you’ll find yourself all alone amongst the old trees, mossy walls, roses, sculptures and the little green parrots that set up home there in the 1960s. It sounds like the ancient forests of Costa Rica. ARCHITECTURE TOUR. _Thomas Franken I’ve nothing against the French baroque or water-spouting gods on the Kö-Graben, but the best thing on the Königsallee is completely new! In my opinion, the Kö-Bogen has finally made Düsseldorf an architecture destination. It forms a spectacular trio with the Schauspielhaus and the Dreischeibenhaus! KÖ BOGEN ROSENGARTEN Kö-Bogen, Bäckerstraße 40212 Düsseldorf 40213 Düsseldorf RELAX IN KAISERSWERTH. _Christian Grosser Founded in the year 700, this is the oldest district of Düsseldorf. It’s an idyllic location - right by the Rhine, a five-minute taxi ride from the exhibition grounds and 20 minutes from the city centre. A great place for sitting under the tall chestnut trees to have a beer after work and raise a glass or two to successful deals. Maybe at the Burghof, watching the sun go down. A STROLL THROUGH FLINGERN. _Angelika Spies If I’m looking for a gift or something special to wear – or just inspiration, I don’t go into the city, but out to Flingern, Derendorf or Unterbilk. There are so many young designer shops there. And the exhibitions at the KIT are always great – it’s a museum between the tunnels beneath the amazing riverside promenade along the Old Town. And if I’m by the Rhine, I sit down on the tower steps and watch the sun go down.
