The SPS – the must-attend event of the industry
According to the figures for last year’s event, 13,851 (or 28%) of the 50,081 visitors traveled from outside of Germany.
Due to the wide range of offerings from automation suppliers and its highly specialist nature, the SPS is widely referred to as a must-attend event:
For Lucas Moreno, CTO at Tecnopower TML SL in Spain, the SPS is a highlight event, which he describes as “one of the most important industry automation exhibitions in Germany.”
Robert Brunson, Vice President of Sales and Marketing at Wallace Electronic Sales in the USA, also had an extremely positive experience as a visitor to the SPS last year: “A great event. As an American it is valuable to see what the European control and automation industry is doing. This is very valuable to my firm and our clients.”
Initial impressions of the SPS 2023 from India were also positive: “Very impressed with my first visit to SPS! Gained a lot of insight into Industry Trends, connected with Partners and Customers. Will definitely come back,” said Pratheesh Gangadhar, Engineering Manager at Texas Instruments India Pvt Ltd.
