Coronavirus - interpack 2022 postponed

Messe Düsseldorf is postponing the leading international trade fair interpack. It will at present take place from 25 Feb to 3 March 2021. In doing so, Messe Düsseldorf is following the recommendation of the crisis management squad of the German Federal Regime to take into account the principles of the Robert Koch Plant when assessing the risk of major events. Based on this recommendation and the contempo pregnant increase in the number of people infected with the new coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2), including in Europe, Messe Düsseldorf has reassessed the situation. In addition, in that location is the full general ruling issued by the metropolis of Düsseldorf on 11 March 2020, in which major events with more than 1,000 participants present at the same time are generally prohibited.

"The decision was taken in close consultation with our advisory board and sponsoring associations," emphasizes Werner Thousand. Dornscheidt, chairman of the board of management of Messe Düsseldorf. It also reflects the wishes of individual industries: "As their partner, we are currently doing everything in our power to reduce the economic losses suffered by our exhibitors".

"The metropolis of Düsseldorf is following the instructions of the state government. Our aim is to slow down the spread of the coronavirus so that the wellness system can continue to function properly," emphasizes Thomas Geisel, Lord Mayor of the state capital of Düsseldorf and chairman of the Supervisory Board of the Düsseldorf trade fair company.

Delaying the spread of the virus every bit much equally possible is as well a declared goal co-ordinate to the Robert Koch Institute (RKI). In order to fulfill Messe Düsseldorf's responsibility for risk prevention, the visitor primarily had to minimize the increased risk of infection at major events. Measures to reduce the risk of manual at major events, which the Robert Koch Establish has conspicuously defined – such as ventilation of the venue appropriate to the take chances of infection, the exclusion of persons from risk groups and the comprehensive installation of entrance screening, were practically impossible to implement. Too, comparable measures were and are unreasonable in view of the unforeseeable rapid evolution and the size of the diverse events with up to threescore,000 participants.

interpack's industry partners support the decision to postpone the fair and together with those responsible, are counting on a successful event next year. "interpack is the accented peak event for the international packaging industry and related processing industries. The merchandise fair thrives on personal encounters and direct exchange between people from all over the world. This is just possible if in that location are no wellness risks involved. Therefore, the postponement is responsible and right. We are looking frontwards to next year'south issue to hash out the bug that are defining the industry, such every bit sustainability, and to nowadays appropriate solutions," comments Christian Traumann, president of interpack 2022 and manager and grouping president at Multivac Sepp Haggenmüller SE & Co. KG.

"The corona virus and the associated restrictions now represent a major claiming for the unabridged mechanical engineering sector. The possible and currently unforeseeable effects of the pathogen with an incalculable risk of infection, the threat of quarantine for returnees, full general travel restrictions in some countries, just as well considerable travel restrictions on the part of many companies, unfortunately, make information technology impossible to successfully hold the interpack in May. The VDMA, as a supporting association of interpack, welcomes a postponement under the given exceptional circumstances. The new date at present ensures reliability in planning" says Richard Clemens, Manager of the VDMA Food Processing and Packaging Machinery Association.

The Düsseldorf hotel industry is also sending out an important bespeak through its umbrella organization DEHOGA (Trade Association for the Hospitality Manufacture): "Nosotros appeal to our members and the unabridged industry to be flexible when it comes to rebooking by exhibitors and visitors. The Düsseldorf trade fairs such equally interpack play an enormously important role for the city, the hotel industry, and the catering merchandise. Information technology would be counterproductive not to show goodwill in this situation," equally both DEHOGA-Representatives Giuseppe Saitta (Chairman Düsseldorf/District Group Rhein-Kreis Neuss) and Rolf D. Steinert (Düsseldorf/Rhein-Kreis Neuss Hotels and Tourism Group) emphasize.

Werner M. Dornscheidt is pleased well-nigh the full general consensus and encouragement in this special situation: "We would similar to thank all our partners for their excellent cooperation in making these hard and time-sensitive decisions. We are pleased that together a date was found and then rapidly in gild to allow all those affected to reliably plan."
