Peter Kurth, managing president of the Federal Association of the German Waste Disposal Industry (BDE), was also upbeat about the event: “Despite the general industry trend, Entsorga-Enteco went well for our member companies. Many of them told me that they have not only established contacts but also concluded concrete deals. The trade fair proved, once again that it is an important dialog and business platform for the industry.” The VDMA (German Engineering Federation) associations Thermo Process and Waste Treatment Technology and Air-handling Technology were also pleased: “Entsorga-Enteco 2009 is the environmental technology trade fair of the year. In spite of difficult general conditions, the represented member companies of the VDMA from the fields waste and recycling technology and air pollution control noted a surprisingly good visitor approval from national and international customers. The high quality of customer contacts, which can be expected to bring a
promising business development, was complimented on. New methods and technologies for resource recovery were a particular focus of the conversations.
