There was a sharp rise in international visitors at Rematec 2017 in Amsterdam, with more than 74% of people coming from outside the Netherlands. “It is clear that Rematec has gained significance as a business, knowledge and networking podium for the international remanufacturing industry,” says Niels Klarenbeek, group director remanufacturing & refurbishment at ReMaTec organiser RAI Amsterdam. There was also a change in the sectors represented at the show: traditionally focused on the automotive and heavy duty sectors, Rematec 2017 saw executives from IT, healthcare equipment and electronics participating in the speaker programme. The next ReMaTec exhibition will take place on 23-25 June 2019, and 60% of exhibiting companies havealready rebooked their stands.
