The year’s largest nonwovens exposition, INDEX 2008, opened its doors today at the Pal-Expo Convention Center in Geneva, Switzerland. At an inaugural ribbon cutting ceremony this morning, show sponsors officially launched the four-day event. Held once every three years, INDEX covers the whole spectrum of the nonwovens industry and features exhibitors from nearly 100 countries.
Among those in attendance at the ceremony were Pierre Wiertz, general manager of EDANA, the sponsor of the exhibition, Claude Membrez, director general of Orgexpo, the organizer of INDEX, Georges Kindhauser, exhibition director of INDEX 08 and Gerd Rise, the chairman of EDANA. “Our excitement is at the top and INDEX is at the top of what the world can expect,” remarked Mr. Wiertz.
