Contract extension
SPS IPC Drives remains in Nuremberg
SPS IPC Drives will remain in Nuremberg. This has been agreed by the owner of the event, Mesago Messe Frankfurt, and Nürnberg Messe 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 dynamically develop SPS IPC Drives."
Dr. Roland Fleck, CEO of Nürnberg Messe Group, sees the Franconian metropolis of Nuremberg as the ideal exhibition venue for SPS IPC Drives: "Nuremberg is at the heart of 'Automation Valley'. This is where the companies and research institutions that are driving Industry 4.0 worldwide are located. Nürnberg Messe is also home to a number of successful technology trade fairs. It is therefore only logical to organize SPS IPC Drives in Nuremberg."
Uwe Behm, Member of the Board of Management of Messe Frankfurt, adds: "As a trade fair 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 SPS IPC Drives to find out about the offerings of 1,675 exhibitors (two thirds from Germany) on 130,000 square meters. The trade fair covers the entire spectrum of industrial automation - from simple sensors to solutions for smart, digital automation. as
