Coronavirus: interpack 2020 postponed
Packaging trade fair interpack postponed
interpack will now take place from February 25 to March 03, 2021. Messe Düsseldorf is thus following the recommendation of the Federal Government's crisis management team to take the principles of the Robert Koch Institute into account when assessing the risk of major events.
Due to the recommendation and the recent significant increase in the number of people infected with the new coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2), including in Europe, Messe Düsseldorf has reassessed the situation. The general decree issued by the state capital Düsseldorf on March 11 also generally prohibits large events with more than 1,000 participants present at the same time.
"The decision was made in close consultation with our advisory boards and sponsoring associations," emphasizes Werner M. Dornscheidt, CEO of Messe Düsseldorf GmbH. It also reflects the wishes of individual industries: "As their partner, we are currently doing everything we can to reduce the economic losses suffered by our exhibitors."
"The city of Düsseldorf is complying with the instructions of the state government. Our aim is to slow down the spread of the coronavirus so that the health system can continue to function," emphasizes Thomas Geisel, Lord Mayor of the state capital Düsseldorf and Chairman of the Supervisory Board of the Düsseldorf trade fair company.
