The triennial K show, held in Düsseldorf, Germany, is returning on October 24 to 31 this year. Awaiting it is an industry which, having a good start in the new year, is ready to make the best of the new K year.
"The year 2007 has just got started, and initial data have already suggested that it is going to be a prosperous year," Ulrich Reifenhauser, Chairman of the Exhibitor Council of K2007, said during a press activity held in Hamburg from March 12 to 13.
"Moreover, it not only is a year for the machinery and raw material sectors, but also will see a recovery in the processing and the final recycling fields," he further said. "Following the strong growth in the second half of last year, this year will continue to grow on a par with last year, thanks to the economic upturn."
More than 2,900 exhibitors
Against this background, the 2,900 plus exhibitors of K2007 – both global leaders and new comers – will demonstrate their capabilities in all aspects within the industry, from raw materials, factory equipment and machinery, to processing solutions for different industrial applications.

"We are pleased to receive the continuous support of exhibitors from different all corners of the world. Thanks to them, we are proud to say once again that the K show is the exhibition of an incomparable product range of depth and diversity in the industry," Mr Reifenhauser stressed.
