InterTabac-InterSupply
Following last year’s fifth anniversary, the organizers of InterSupply, the international trade fair for the tobacco product manufacturing sector look forward to another exciting exhibition in 2020. Exhibitors both old and new will be treating fair-goers to the latest line-up of product innovations and unique service offerings.
This September 18-20 all eyes in the international tobacco industry will be on Dortmund Exhibition Center in Germany when InterTabac and InterSupply take to the stage once again hosting new products, innovative services, and an informative supporting conference program. InterSupply offers buyers, production managers, engineers and developers information on all the latest products, services, and machinery for producers of tobacco products and e-cigarettes. Following a strong performance by the two fairs in 2019 – which once again secured a “good” rating from trade visitors – the current level of registrations shows that the organizers expect another strong line-up of exhibitors this year.
Many new exhibitors from home and abroad
Something to look forward to is the range of new exhibitors this year. Among those exhibiting for the first time will be Switzerland’s ALCHEM Europe which produces nicotine and nicotine compounds for use in tobacco substitutes such as e-cigarettes, nicotine patches, and nicotine chewing gum. Another new exhibitor is filter component manufacturer Cerdia Services from Freiburg, Germany.
