Dr. Reinhard Pfeiffer, Deputy CEO of Messe München says: “The last three days have shown that taking over India Lab Expo puts us in the leading position on the Indian market for analysis, laboratory technology and biotechnology. By merging the two trade fairs we managed to increase the significance of the global network of analysis and laboratory fairs.” Under one roof, analytica Anacon India and India Lab Expo showcased high-end technology and innovations that are used in the field of analysis, chemical, pharmaceutical and biotechnology sectors. More than 225 exhibitors and 7003 visitors found their way to the Hitex Exhibition Centre in Hyderabad. Both, exhibitors and visitors, were highly satisfied.

Dr. Ashes Ganguly, Secretary, Indian Analytical Instruments Association & Managing Director, Cryogen Instruments Pvt.

As per my opinion, a stable government and effective plans will make India a global player. We would like to thank MMI India for leaving no stone unturned in making the trade fairs a huge success.”

Very successful was this year’s accompanying program. It was delivered by top-class speakers touching upon topics like the latest industry trends, techniques and methods. The analytica Anacon India conference provided a deep insight on the following topics: regulatory aspects, pharmaceuticals and food safety. Further, various tutorials provided a practical training for its attendees. In this section, one highlight was the workshop on ‘How to setup a Laboratory’ and ‘Lab Safety’ that informed about the needs to start one’s own laboratory business in India. The conference was very well received. More than 200 delegates attended the sessions and showed a huge interest in the discussed topics.

Sandeep Hajra, General Manager, Waldner and Guenther Rossdeutscher, Managing Director and Shareholder, asecos showed themselves very satisfied with their results, “The German companies Waldner and asecos had a triple premiere at India Lap Expo 2015. First time attending the show, first common booth, first joint seminar, ‘How to setup a Lab’. Because of the overwhelming response of this concept with more than 150 interested visitors, we have immediately decided to come back in 2016 with bigger booth and enhanced seminar series.”

Shripad D Joshi, Country Sales Manager (Life Sciences & Applied Markets), Agilent Technologies expressed, “Hyderabad has a huge market potential and we are glad to be a part of the show since the beginning. The shows attracted a lot of visitors and the conference speakers were excellent. We look forward to more technical customers to attend the same.”

Other most liked feature was the buyer-seller forum. Around 300 plus meetings took place at the trade fair that were applauded by the exhibitors. Manoj Bhataria, Head—Particle Science, Inventys said, “We do business in different segments of the market and the group is being represented at the trade fairs by Particle Science, which is a part of Inventys.
