As the preparations for COTECA Coffee, Tea and Cocoa Global Industry Expo are running at full pace, more exhibition space has already been booked for September 2014 than for the whole of the previous COTECA.
A total of over 120 exhibitors from 30 nations are expected from 24 to 26 September 2014, including many of the market leaders.
“Early booking by our exhibitors puts us in a very good position now, four months ahead of the expo,” says Claudia Johannsen, Project Director COTECA. “That is a real success. We are delighted that COTECA has developed into a regular event for the international industry”.
Exhibitors include many well-known international companies, such as Blaser Trading, Benecke Coffee GmbH & Co., the Coffee Board of India, the Indonesian Coffee and Cocoa Research Institute, Toper Roasters, Cocoa Panama, Hälssen & Lyon, Dethlefsen & Balk GmbH, the Sri Lanka Tea Board, Innovia Films, PHUC SINH Corporation, SSP India, Cimbria Heid GmbH, AIYA Europe and IMA INDUSTRIES.
COTECA is an international networking platform, underscoring the advantage of Hamburg as its venue. The event provides a combination of international industry expo and conference, with experts from all stages of the value chain coming to exchange ideas on current trends and generate new business leads.
At the previous event, COTECA 2012, some 3,000 participants from all over the world obtained information on new products and current developments in the coffee, tea and cocoa sectors.
