In order to make the International Trade Fair for Refrigeration, Air Conditioning and Ventilation (IKK) attractive for not only the traditionally most important visitor target group, i.e. system manufacturers, but also for planning and industrial experts who have never before attended this event, the continuous cooling chain will be a key topic in Stuttgart from 8 to 10 October 2008. IKK will therefore firstly take account of old virtues which were lost over the course of time experts from the areas of food refrigeration and insulation had stayed away because they were no longer able to reach their target groups and secondly, it will use the new opportunities afforded by one of the strongest economic regions in Europe with an above-average number of planning offices and industrial enterprises. It is obvious that attention will also be paid to the topic of transport logistics at IKK as the trade fair is being held in Baden-Württemberg, a region that is home to car manufacturers. According to the event organizers’ press release, a Transport Refrigeration Forum, for example, will therefore be held. This event is being organised by the renowned etm Verlag (publishing company).
