Transport logistic Fair for ERS was a great success
Transport logistic 2007 reflects booming business in the sector – new records
Total 47,000 trade visitors: + 18 percent | 1,580 exhibitors: + 19 percent | 86,000 square metres of space: + 15 percent
Globalisation and booming business in the sector have been reflected in full at transport logistic 2007. This 11th International Trade Fair for Logistics, Telematics and Transport, which took place between 12 and 15 June 2007, attracted 47,000 trade visitors from 113 countries. This is a rise of 18 percent over the last transport logistic trade fair.
“Transport logistic has recorded impressive growth in the numbers of exhibitors and visitors, and in exhibition space. It addressed all the trend themes – across international borders – that are affecting the sector,” said Eugen Egetenmeir, a Member of the Management Board of Messe München. Michael Kubenz, President of the Deutscher Speditions- und Logistikverband (DSLV) and Chairman of the Advisory Board of transport logistic, commented: “Logistics is in the overtaking lane worldwide. Never before has transport logistic had so many visitors, never before has this event been so international in scope.” This was also confirmed by the exhibitors side: “transport logistic has visibly achieved its goal of being the world´s leading trade fair for the sector,” confirmed Detthold Aden, President of the BLG Logistics Group.
After Germany, the top ten countries of origin among the visitors were (in number order): Austria, Netherlands, Italy, Switzerland, Czech Republic, Poland, France, Belgium, Great Britain and Northern Ireland, and Slovenia. There was a noticeable rise in interest from the countries of east and southeastern Europe, and from the Middle East.

ERS at Transport Logistic fair in Munich
Transport Logistic presents the entire world of transport at a glance. Logistics and telematics, inhouse transport and material flows as well as freight transport. With its special overall concept, transport logistics illustrates the extensive networking and interactions between these fields. At the same time, it gives the qualified public the chance of direct discussions with the exhibitors. The aim of the fair is to present practical experiences of the very complex sector of transportation, on road and rail, on water and in the air.
