EuroTier 2004

The EuroTier 2004 held at the Exhibition Grounds in Hanover from 9 to 12 November attracted over 110,000 visitors. This is 8% less than 2002, but the number of foreign visitors increased by around 40% in line with growth seen in the number of foreign exhibitors (up 5% and representing 41% of the total - higher than ever before). This trend was attributed to clear signs of recovery after two very difficult years and the particularly high interest shown from Central and East European countries. Some 1,500 visitors came from Russia alone.
