POWTECH, the International Processing Trade Fair for Powder, Bulk Solids, Fluids and Liquids, is expanding its importance as the technology platform for the processing sector, and will in future operate under a new branding as POWTECH TECHNOPHARM. POWTECH 2023 will take place under its known name; POWTECH TECHNOPHARM will follow from 23 to 25 September 2025 at the Exhibition Centre Nuremberg, where it will be co-located with PARTEC 2025 and FACHPACK 2025.
POWTECH is consistently finetuning its efforts to promote the process engineering sector and adopting the current trends of deglobalization and re-Europeanization, all of which underlay its decision to rebrand. Heike Slotta, Executive Director Exhibitions at NürnbergMesse, explains the motivation behind the new strategy: “The combined POWTECH TECHNOPHARM brand offers a home for the providers of process engineering and also for their customers. It is a threeday working trade fair for talking shop and finding solutions, with hands-on technology and a European focus. And an important new development for the community is the fact that the strategy is being relaunched and adapted to meet current requirements.”
In a survey, two-thirds of the POWTECH exhibitors stated to be in favour of a permanent autumn schedule for the event. This results in the co-location with FACHPACK every third year, followed each time by POWTECH TECHNOPHARM on its own, and then a planned gap year. September is a free month in the trade fair calendar for the processing industry, and offers a fixed date outside the European summer holidays that will be easy for trade visitors in particular to remember.
