Hannover Messe 2016 Review
From April 25-29, 2016, Hammond Power Solutions (HPS) exhibited for the first time at Hannover Messe in Hannover, Germany.
 
As one of the approximate 5,200 exhibitors in the show, HPS showcased a variety of magnetic products, including a Cast Resin Transformer and a Water-Cooled Reactor in their almost 60 square meter booth. There was also a designated meeting space, where HPS held a number of meetings throughout the duration of the show with some exciting new potential customers. 

This opportunity was an important step towards building the HPS brand in Europe and globally.

Hannover Messe is referred to as the world's most important industrial event, with five leading international trade fairs occurring simultaneously under one roof.  This year, an impressive 190,000 professionals attended, with a large increase in international attendees. 

HPS plans to attend Hannover Messe 2017 on April 24-28, 2017.
