Agromek 2010 

 

The largest exhibition of agricultural machinery in northern Europe, Agromek, is once again bringing together domestic and international suppliers and clients in MCH Messecenter in Herning, Denmark from November 30th to December 2nd 2010.

 

Agromek Exhibition Committee has also announced that from this year onwards, the expo will be become biennial and be held every other year.

Hence, after Agromek 2010, the next expo will thereafter be held in 2012 and in the following even years.

 

The new Chairman of the Agromek Exhibition Committee, managing director Sten Andersen, Dan Egtved A/S, said "We will maintain Agromek as an international exhibition with special focus on Northern Europe and our neighbouring markets. We will therefore present a large and varied exhibition. Many of our exhibitors apply Agromek as a showroom for their export involvement. We therefore ensure that Agromek continues as a major, attractive exhibition – regardless as to which country our attendance comes from."

 

He added that, "An increasing number of our exhibitors wish to exhibit every other year. An exhibition with only machines and implements for arable farming or an exhibition which is solely directed at livestock farming does not have the essential strength or size to maintain the desired international impact. We have therefore decided that we will take the full consequence and change Agromek to being an exhibition that is held every other year."

 

It has also been decided that from 2012 onwards, Agromek will continue to be held at the end of November or a few days into December.

 

Sten Andersen continued that "We take into consideration that many exhibitors have attended the prior exhibition in Hannover. This makes it difficult to hold our exhibition at an earlier date in November."

 

As a major exhibition, Agromek will focus on machines used in arable farming plus installations and technology for livestock farming. Agromek will also continue its cooperation with the Machine Suppliers' organisation, which primarily involves target groups within the contracting sectors.

 

Agromek is conducted in cooperation between the DMAM Danish Manufacturers of Agricultural Machinery and Agriculture and Food organisations.
