The organiser of CHEMUK has reported a 41% increase in visitors to this year’s event, held at the NEC Birmingham in May.
The record attendance of 5559 recorded over the event’s two days represents a return to pre-COVID growth trajectory for the chemical industry exhibition.
CHEMUK show founder, Ian Stone, summed up this years’ event: “The industry is now responding to the single ‘destination experience’ of CHEMUK providing deliberately segmented zones of specialist industry capability and solutions, supported with unmissable intelligence, whilst at the same time uniting the entire UK chemical industries ‘value chain’ under one giant roof annually”.
Commenting on the introduction of the ‘CHEMLAB’ Laboratory & Innovation Zone this year, Stone stated, “This addressed, head-on, the need of R&D teams, analytical chemists, and teams in the crucial areas of early-stage growth and scale-up, showcasing a wide range of progressive lab-based solutions from the latest lab automation, chemical analytical tools, speciality services, flow chemistry innovations, innovation ecosystems, and much more, supporting the quality and acceleration of R&D cycles in the chemical, biochemical, and formulated product sectors.”
