SMM Kicks Off in Hamburg

The SMM international trade fair has officially opened last night in Hamburg. More than 2,100 exhibitors and over 50,000 visitors are expected, more than ever in the history of this fair.

“This is a very special SMM,” said Bernd Aufderheide, CEO and President, Hamburg Messe und Congress GmbH. The enormous interest shown by exhibitors and visitors alike proves it.  “We are fully booked, and this fair welcomes every type and size of company, from market leaders and global players to medium-sized companies and innovation-focused start-ups. Their products cover a wide spectrum from large-scale ship engineering and shipbuilding products to ship outfitting and equipment supplies, and from cargo handling systems and maritime technologies to specialised services,” said Aufderheide.

The protection of the marine environment is one of the top items on the SMM agenda. Exhibitors will give some fascinating insights into the latest industry trends.

SMM takes place at the Hamburg fair site from 9 until 12 September 2014.
