Valve World moves to Düsseldorf in 2010

CRC-Evans celebrates 75 th year

Valve World Expo has been acquired by Messe Düsseldorf from KCI Publishing BV, the Netherlands. The next event will be held in Düsseldorf, Germany, from 30 November to 2 December 2010. KCI Publishing will remain the coordinator of the leading international industry event. The two organizers have agreed to work closely together to promote the trade fair’s further development. Mr Donald Wiedemeyer, CEO of KCI Publishing, comments, “Over the past few years, Valve World Expo has developed very positively to the extent that we have reached our limits in terms of venue and organizational capacity. In Düsseldorf, the event will have a chance to continue expanding and extending its international reach even further.” Werner Matthias Dornscheidt, president and CEO of Messe Düsseldorf, is delighted with this addition to the trade fair program, “Valve World Expo is the world’s No 1 event for its industry and, together with

the Valve World Conference, it serves as an important meeting point for flow control professionals. It also fits in perfectly with our portfolio of metallurgy trade fairs staged here in Düsseldorf as well as around the world.” Valve World Expo’s positive development over the past few years is reflected not only in the steady increase in exhibitor and visitor numbers but also in the amount of exhibit space booked. The last staging in November 2006 attracted 430 exhibiting companies from 34 countries and 9,000 trade visitors from Europe, Asia, North and Latin America. The trade visitors are predominantly from the on- and off-shore oil and gas industry, the petrochemical industry, the nuclear power generating industry, the food industry, and the shipbuilding industry.

CRC-Evans, a global provider of pipeline equipment and services, will celebrate its 75 th anniversary in 2009. To mark the event, the company will produce an exclusive commemorative book containing historical photos of the industry captured in the last 75 years. “As we commemorate our 75 th year, we want to also honour the industry,” said Mr Paul Evans, chairman of CRC-Evans. “If it were not for the hard work, tenacity and perseverance of pipeliners who had such foresight, we wouldn’t have the foundation and framework in place today to continue to deliver our equipment and technology.” “Because we’ve been so involved in the major industry developments of the past 75 years, we’ve been able to collect an archive of dynamic photos that capture the spirit of the industry,” said Mr Tim Carey, CRC-Evans chief executive officer. “We felt the anniversary was an opportunity to archive our shared history as well as share memories with our friends in the industry.”
