Exhibition

Laboratory technology and process technology were presented together instead of in separate sections: at ILMAC Lausanne, the exhibitors showcased their competences and solutions as an overall package. This ensured greater attention from the growing number of professional visitors who plan and implement their company processes holistically rather than individually.

ILMAC is the meeting place for suppliers and manufacturers of:

• laboratory equipment; installations, implements, consumables
• analytical technology; analytical devices and processes
• semi-finished products, laboratory chemicals
• information technology
• design and implementation, engineering, management
• plant: process engineering devices and systems
• process and environmental technology
• pharmaceutical packaging: primary and secondary packaging systems
• quality control and validation
• environmentally compatible disposal
