IFAT Eurasia 2015 exhibitor statements
- in alphabetical order -
Boris Anders, Area Manager, Steinert Elektromagnetbau GmbH, Germany:
“IFAT Eurasia allowed us to get visitors from eastern regions that we have not
been able to reach at any other show so far. Participating was the right
decision.”
Prof. Dr. Veysel Eroğlu, Minister of Forestry and Water Affairs, Turkey:
“IFAT Eurasia in Ankara shows the strong interest of international investors in
Turkey. It underlines impressively the importance of the Turkish environmental
sector. We thank everyone involved for making IFAT Eurasia possible.”
Gratiela Leocadia Gavrilesco, Minister of Environment, Water and Forestry,
Romania:
“IFAT Eurasia meets an important bridge between Romania and Turkey. Such
an event has been missing.”
Arif Karahaliloglu, Chemical Engineer, HACH LANGE Su Analiz Sis. Ltd.
Sti., Turkey:
“The quality and quantity of the visitors was good. We are happy to be in Ankara.
We would like to attend IFAT Eurasia again in 2017.”
Markus Lebek, Head of Sales ombran, MC-Bauchemie Müller GmbH &
Co.KG, Germany:
“It was a great premiere of IFAT Eurasia and we had plenty of contacts from
Turkey. However, visitors from other countries such as India, Iran, Bulgaria and
Mexico were also impressive—good quality and quantity. So IFAT Eurasia
actually succeeded in building a bridge to other Asian regions.”
Johannes Lohaus, Managing Director, German Association for Water,
Wastewater and Waste (DWA – Deutsche Vereinigung für
Wasserwirtschaft, Abwasser und Abfall e.V.), Germany:
“IFAT Eurasia had a perfect start in 2015. Impressing was the high quality in all
aspects: a perfect fair ground, the high quality of the booths and exhibitors as
well as the wide range of the supporting program with many attractive
presentations. I got a lot of new ideas and I found good new contacts in various
countries with a growing economy in the environmental market.”
Christine von Lonski, General Manager, German Water Partnership (GWP),
Germany:
“Congratulations once again to Messe München International. Thanks to IFAT
Eurasia, you have once again added a highly professional fair to your portfolio.
We are very satisfied with the number and quality of the visitors from Turkey
and many other countries. We also want to thank you for the opportunity to
include the award ceremony for the first GWP-Award Turkey into the program.

Can Merter, Sales Manager, KROHNE Otomasyon Sanayi ve Ticaret Ltd.
Şti., Turkey:
“IFAT Eurasia exceeded by far our expectations. The success of the show
influenced our future strategy with regards to the trade shows. This exhibition
gives us the chance to meet many new customers.”
Melis Öner, International Marketing Coordinator, Wilo, Turkey:
“The first IFAT Eurasia became the meeting point of the Eurasian market.
Numerous industry professionals attended the trade fair. We are sure that IFAT
Eurasia will gain in importance in the next years and already look forward to
participating again in 2017.”
Eberhard Pohl, German Ambassador in Ankara, Germany:
“I am happy that the successful environmental technology show IFAT has gone
to Turkey as IFAT Eurasia. This location is an excellent choice. On the one
hand, we have increasing demand for modern environmental technology. Who
else is better positioned to serve this demand than the German industry. On the
other hand, Turkey acts as a bridge to surrounding markets in the Middle East
and Central Asia. That in particular makes IFAT Eurasia attractive to German
companies. The number of participants at the show underscores the fact that
German companies have realized both.”
Manfred Predl, Managing Director, PREDL GmbH, Austria:
“We are participating in a show in Turkey for the first time and were not sure
what we should expect in Ankara. We had plenty of new contacts on the first
two days. As a newcomer on the Turkish market, this trade show is the perfect
springboard for us.”
Theodore Rentzos, President & CEO, RAM Europe, Greece:
“So far we have had very interesting meetings with decision-makers from
Turkish municipalities and also from other countries like Morocco, India, Iran,
Greece and UAE. It was important for our export business to get contacts
there.”
Andreas Schweitzer, Sales Director, Hermann Sewerin GmbH, Germany:
“IFAT Eurasia celebrated a very successful premiere. Of course, we had many
visitors from Turkey, but also a number of contacts from other countries such as
Iran. The show exceeded our expectations by far and we will surely exhibit
again in 2017.”
Ediz Tatar, Country Manager, VAG-Armaturen GmbH, Turkey:
“First of all, we are very happy to have decided to participate in this exhibition,
because we met various customers especially from the municipalities. We
believe that this show should be held every year and we would participate
regularly. Our customers were mainly from Turkey (80 percent), Iran (10
percent), Iraq (5 percent) and Europe (5 percent). IFAT Eurasia differs from
other events in its professional manner and international approach. We have
already received our first order!”

Bora Türkmen, Mechanical Engineer and Owner of Representative
Company, Senkron Mekatronik A.S. / Kirloskar Brothers Limited, Turkey:
“So far we are very satisfied with our participation in IFAT Eurasia. The quality
of visitors was as we expected. IFAT Eurasia is one of the best exhibitions for
the water and waste water sector. IFAT is a well-known brand, so we also have
visitors from foreign countries—which still has to increase.”
Annemarie Voit, Marketing Department, Hammel Recyclingtechnik GmbH,
Germany:
“We had many visitors from the Arabian region, which was surprising to us.
Visitor flow was continually good.”
Erkan Yeğencik, Sales Manager, EFE Endüstri ve Ticaret A.Ş, Turkey:
“Thank you IFAT Eurasia 2015. We have completely achieved our target by
reaching many new customers. We will meet again at IFAT Eurasia 2017."
Michael Zabelt, International Area Sales Manager and Heidi Dorner,
Marketing and Event, NETZSCH Pumpen & Systeme GmbH, Germany:
“The premiere of IFAT Eurasia was very successful for us. In the beginning, we
had doubts about the location in Ankara, which turned out to be the perfect
place. So far, IFAT Eurasia is a complete success for our company. Compared
to other shows in Turkey, we can definitely say that the quality of the show is
very high and we are looking forward to participating again in 2017.”
