By YONTEX GmbH & Co. KG
GeneralNew exhibitor and product database for convenient visit planning
With approximately six months remaining until the event, drinktec 2025 is ready for visitor registration: online registration at https://drinktec.com/enUS/visit/ticket/ is already live, allowing industry professionals to plan their trip to Munich from Sept. 15 to 19, 2025 and secure their tickets.
All important visitor services are already available on the website, providing an overview of which exhibitors are located in which halls and effectively plan the visit to drinktec. With the new exhibitor and product database on the website, visitors have extensive options to plan their route at drinktec with the help of filter options based on halls, industry, product categories, export market and entries in the solutions or innovation directory.
As in previous editions, the event team has strategically positioned exhibitors according to key product groups, ensuring that related exhibitors are clustered together based on their specific exhibition focus. “Our goal is to simplify the thematic overview,” explains Markus Kosak, Executive Director of drinktec Cluster, “and therefore place our exhibitors in the appropriate halls according to the main themes wherever possible.” This provides a coherent route and facilitates comparisons of the various solutions on display.
The Next Big Thing – solutions of the future
One highlight – the premiere platform – will showcase exhibitors’ latest innovations: “The Next Big Thing” is the slogan for all participants in the Innovation Guide, which features all exhibitors who have registered an innovation with the organizing team. Curated by a team of experts, these innovations are showcased on a landing page. Detailed information on the innovations is only made available to visitors directly on the exhibition grounds via a QR code. This approach allows the innovative spirit of the beverage and liquid food industry to shine through ahead of the world’s leading trade fair, while keeping the innovations “under wraps” for now. Markus Kosak adds, “The anticipation remains high. Exhibitors are still keeping mum about their new products, but this tool is the key to ensure that our visitors don’t miss out on any innovations at drinktec and can prepare to see which stands will feature world premieres.”
Worldwide interest
The drinktec Roadshow – the global tour with information events for journalists and multipliers in key markets – underscores the growing importance of drinktec in shaping the future of the beverage and liquid-food industry. The outlook on the economic development of the markets presented by the conceptual sponsor VDMA, the German Food Processing and Packaging Machinery Association, highlights that the beverage and liquid-food industry is perfectly positioned to serve national markets. In recent weeks, numerous participants from the events held in Thailand, Vietnam, Indonesia, China, Argentina, Chile and Brazil have already signaled that drinktec 2025 is on their agenda.
