Welcome Address

Ladies and Gentlemen,

As a result of continuous research and development, the worldwide pump, compressor and compressed air technology sector now enjoys an excellent reputation for innovative pump and compressor technology and excellent product quality. The pump, compressor and compressed air sector is anxious to further enhance this reputation by effective communication with its customers and suppliers. This conference offers a unique possibility to present possible solutions of the sector, face up to discussions with users and manufacturers and accept suggestions for the coming years.

As the promoter, we are pleased to offer you the first “International Rotating Equipment Conference – Pumps and Compressors” with three International forums consolidated: the 9th Pump Users International Forum, the 2nd Compressor Users International Forum and the 6th EFRC (European Forum for Reciprocating Compressors) Conference. Together with our European partner associations EUROPUMP and PNEUROP and with the additional support from many trade associations and professional bodies, it has enabled us to maximize the collaborative effect.

Whether you are a user, manufacturer, supplier, research & development, pump, compressor and compressed air expert or you are new to the sector, we are certain that you will find the depth and quality of the specialist programme compiled with the International “Call for Papers” of interest and value. On behalf of the VDMA and EFRC, it is with the greatest pleasure that we welcome you to the Conference.
