Expanded exhibition offering for systems and components
For the first time at EuroTier, suppliers of livestock equipment will benefit from a dedicated exhibition area at EuroTier and will present their products to manufacturers of animal husbandry machinery. Named “Supplier Industry – powered by Systems & Components”, the area is aimed at engineers, buyers and system integration specialists offering feeding technology, milking systems, transport wagons, presses and mixing and dosing systems. EuroTier exhibitors can find suitable development partners in this new area. The area is a central venue for innovative solutions in the production of animal husbandry technology and is a further building block at the trade fair to represent the entire value chain in the animal husbandry industry.
