Achema 2009, a gathering of global laboratory and analytical instrument purchasers, will be taking place in Frankfurt.
Over 40,000 people are expected to visit the four Laboratory and Analytical exhibition halls, and take part in the extensive congress programme of technical papers.
More than 600 suppliers have already taken exhibition space, with three halls now fully booked.
The British contingent, currently 66 exhibitors, is easily the largest international group, followed by Italy, USA, Switzerland, China and France.
Achema attendees have the opportunity to visit other halls, for example, Research and Innovation, Instrumentation, Control and Automation, as well as areas dedicated to other process-related goods and services.
In all, 4,000 exhibitors from 50 countries will be present.
