According to Gerald Böse, it is essential to bring the international range of the trade visitors back to the levels that have characterized IMB for decades and ensured its success: "Modern trade fairs are primarily oriented towards the trade visitors. With its supporting program and other aspects, IMB is no exception to this rule."
Jochen Cramer, Marketing/Sales Manager of KURIS Spezialmaschinen GmbH, agrees: "We would like to see more visitors from the USA and Asia. Apart from that, we hope that the location of IMB remains in Cologne."
For the next IMB Berthold Rademacher, GT Sales Manager of Brother International Industriemaschinen GmbH, hopes that the "same levels of trade visitors will again be reached." He believes that at IMB 2009 "the quality of visitors had already clearly changed in the direction of decision-makers who came to Cologne with the intention of making investments. We were satisfied with the fair in every respect."
Koelnmesse CEO Böse points out that "The positive response of the sector is a huge motivation for us. We will use the excellent international reputation of IMB as a high-tech platform for the textile and clothing industry to once again
considerably increase the international scope of both exhibitors and visitors at IMB - World of Textile Processing. I am sure we will already notice the initial results at the coming IMB Forum in May 2010. We will build on this foundation."
Koelnmesse holds the trademark rights to IMB and thus fulfills the requirements to continue to stage the event unchanged in the coming years.
