IPM, Essen is the largest show of its kind in Germany with approximately 110,000 sqm in 16 adjacent exhibition halls at the Messe, Essen. In 2009 the show attracted:

• 57.168 Trade visitors
• 1,511 exhibitors from 43 countries
• visitors from over 90 countries

Pot plants, foliage plants and nursery stock are the main exhibits at the show but there are also halls for products, equipment, retail and floristry sundries.

The show now attracts around 60,000 visitors from the whole of Europe and further afield including;

• Commercial Growers
• Wholesalers
• Retailers

For the last 12 years, CHA has organised a UK Group Stand in Hall 10 supported by UK Trade & Investment. Hall 10 is one of the main nursery stock halls and is ideal for companies selling trees, shrubs and herbaceous plant. The UK stand is also close to the access leading to the upper and lowers retail and floristry halls.

Hall 3 Satellite Stand
For the first time, and at the request of a growing number of 'non-plant' companies wishing to exhibit at IPM, we are organising a satellite stand in Hall 3 for exhibitors from the horticultural supplies sector, substrates, glasshouses etc. More details will be available here shortly.

A limited number of Grants will be available to eligible UK companies exhibiting on the UK Group Stand in 2010.
