GERMANY
From September 22-24 this year, InterTabac will be presenting itself once more as the leading trade fair at which all major industry players are represented at the Westfalenhallen exhibition center in Dortmund. As expected, demand is great. The combined InterTabac and InterSupply industry trade fairs will make Dortmund the “hub of the tobacco world”.
Once again more than 500 exhibitors will be presenting themselves at the world’s largest trade fair for tobacco products and smoking accessories. As always, only trade visitors will be admitted. Tickets can be conveniently purchased and printed in advance on the trade fair website (www.intertabac.com).
A new development at this year’s show is that ‘e-cigarettes’ will be given its own dedicated area across three interconnected halls.
For many years the subject of e-cigarettes has been a hot topic at InterTabac. Now dedicated exhibitors will be brought together in the newly opened halls 2, 2N, and 3A, giving the subject its own platform.
“In doing so, leading international trade fair InterTabac once again reflects an important industry development,” comments Dac Sprengel, chairman of the Verband des eZigarettenhandels e.V. (VdeH). “E-cigarettes have been a growing segment for industry and retail for many years. It’s only logical to give e-cigarettes their own platform in line with the needs of trade visitors,” he said.
Major players in the international e-cigarette industry have booked their stands for the September trade fair since the beginning of the year. These include companies such as Posh Global, InnoCigs, and XEO International from Germany, United Tobacco Vapor Group from the Netherlands, and Changning Dekang Biotechnology from China
Like in the previous two years, InterSupply will be taking place in Hall 3B of the Westfalenhallen Exhibition Center at the same time as InterTabac. InterSupply will be covering the complete process chain for the production of tobacco products from raw materials such as tobacco, flavors, paper, and essences, through to automated manufacturing processes for tobacco products, hookahs, and e-cigarettes, as well as equipment for treatment and processing to packaging machines. Many international companies, both new and returning exhibitors, will be at InterSupply this September.
The complete trade fair program of InterTabac and InterSupply makes Dortmund the international forum of the tobacco and e-cigarettes.
