On June 13, the European Aerosol Federation (FEA) and international exhibition organizer Easyfairs announced a major, new partnership to develop the future of ADF—the annual aerosol and dispensing systems exhibition.
Under the agreement, FEA will play a crucial role in developing the conference program for the event, as well as marketing the exhibition to visitors and potential exhibitors through its extensive global network . FEA and ADF will also collaborate on the future development of their respective awards programs.
FEA is a federation of 28 national aerosol industry associations both in Europe and around the world who represent the full supply chain for aerosol development and production. It has, since 1959, organized the FEA Global Aerosol Events as a biennial event.
The 30th edition of the exhibition and conference will take place on Sept. 21–22 at the Feira Internacional de Lisboa (FIL) in Lisbon, Portugal. From January 2023, the event will be combined with ADF in Paris to create a single annual event focused on the aerosol and dispensing supply chain.
Alain D’haese, FEA Secretary General, said, “FEA is delighted of this new partnership with Easyfairs in the context of the ADF
