The mix of the glamorous surroundings and the substantial content from presentations were excellently chosen by Dr. Wurz (VDMA) and Dr. Ioannidis (Oskar Frech) regarding the current economic situation.
Despite the rather stagnant economy worldwide, the German equipment manufacturers view next year with optimism, especially with the GMTN (GIFA) in Dusseldorf on the way and their undisputed leading technological competence.
