Key topics

Digitalization

The perennial hot topic in industrial production is undisputedly digitalization. Disrupted supply chains, acute raw material bottlenecks, skyrocketing energy prices and, last but not least, the shortage of skilled workers are forcing companies in the process industry to drive forward the digitalisation of their business processes even faster and to exploit the opportunities and possibilities of Industry 4.0, IoT, Cloud & Co. At the SOLIDS, RECYCLING-TECHNIK and PUMPS & VALVES trade fairs in Dortmund in spring 2023, visitors can get an overview of current developments that promise real added value.

Sustainability

Sustainability is also a key issue for companies. That is why SOLIDS, RECYCLING TECHNOLOGY and PUMPS & VALVES has proclaimed sustainability as one of the key themes of the 2023 event. In sustainable production, social responsibility, economic performance and environmental protection are inseparable. In all three exhibition areas, the participating companies will be showing innovative equipment, machinery and processes that help to meet the demand for more sustainability in production.

Process Optimization

Continuously improving processes is one of the central tasks of a company in the 21st century in order to remain competitive. In view of the current challenges posed by multiple crises, process optimization is becoming even more important. Companies are rewarded with more efficiency and effectiveness and thus greater profitability. Whether recycling, bulk materials or pumps and fittings, the exhibitors at SOLIDS, RECYCLING-TECHNIK and PUMPS & VALVES have intelligent solutions in their luggage that shorten throughput times, increase capacity utilisation, improve quality and reduce the use of resources.

Visitor comments

First-hand information!

"I am very happy that there are finally trade fairs again. SOLIDS Dortmund gives you the opportunity to get a condensed overview of the entire range of products and services in a short time. A lot of direct contacts are made possible so that you get a very good overview of the industry and also individual applications. I found what I was looking for and also got new impulses that I hadn't expected. All in all, a very fruitful visit."

"SOLIDS Dortmund can be considered a success for me. I was at the trade fair because we have a design problem with a gate valve. My hope was to find a supplier or dealer at Solids, Recycling-Technik and Pumps & Valves Dortmund who would support us with our request, and fortunately we did. I have found someone who is now taking on the project together with us."

"As a company, we have particularly benefited from the synergies of the trade fair trio. At SOLIDS, RECYCLING-TECHNIK and PUMPS & VALVES Dortmund we gained a comprehensive overview of the market, discovered new solutions and found suppliers for further cooperation."

"SOLIDS Dortmund was a very important trade fair for us to present new products and to make many good and interesting contacts. It is important to see new products live and to hold them in your hands. Online meetings cannot replace this. Personal contact is also important to talk to customers about problems and solutions. The size of the fair is great for that and that's why we've been there for years."

"The qualitative exchange with experts, customers and suppliers should be emphasised, which enabled us to develop new solutions and advance existing projects. SOLIDS & RECYCLING-TECHNIK in Dortmund thus provided us with an ideal stage for presenting our innovative shock wave shredding technology."
