A total of 58,281 visitors from 164 countries gathered inspiration for future product concepts, business strategies, and technical solutions at the Drinktec exhibition in Germany earlier this month.
Around 30% of visitors came from Germany, with about 40% from the rest of Europe, and the remaining 30% from other regions worldwide.
A total of 1,117 exhibitors from 68 countries showcased solutions covering the entire value chain of beverage and liquid food production across a net exhibition area of 74,000 m². This year, particular focus was placed on modernisation projects, process optimisation, digitalisation and strategies for developing new beverage concepts based on novel ingredients, formulations and production methods.
For many exhibitors, Drinktec once again provided the stage to present their latest product innovations. Visitors could use the ‘Innovation Guide’ to locate innovation hotspots within the exhibition halls; the guide will also be available online at drinktec.com from early October.
“This year’s Drinktec has once again impressively demonstrated that Munich provides the perfect platform for the global beverage and liquid food industry,” said Drinktec’s executive director, Markus Kosak. “The exhibitor and visitor numbers underscore the importance of high-level exchanges and deep insights into technology and innovation.
“We look forward to the next Drinktec from 11 to 15 September 2028!”
