Messe München International Launches IFAT INDIA
As part of a re-orientation of its global strategy, Messe München International (Germany) is further expanding its international network of events to include a new trade show in India for the environmental technology sector: The first IFAT INDIA takes place from October 24 to 26, 2013 at the BCEC (Mumbai). The organisers of the event – Messe München and its subsidiary MMI India – are expecting the premier of this Indian offshoot to attract around 100 exhibitors and 6,000 visitors, and to take up 6,000 square meters of exhibition space.
Eugen Egetenmeir, Managing Director of Messe München International: "The Indian market for environmental services is set to grow to a total volume of 3.2 billion euros by 2013. Increasing urbanisation and greater environmental consciousness in India are leading to a growing demand for modern environmental technologies and services. This is what our new event is focusing on."
Messe München already organises two established events for the sector: IFAT ENTSORGA in Munich, the world’s largest environmental technology trade fair, and IE expo in Shanghai. IFAT INDIA now provides an additional international platform in an up-and- coming market.

A Stake in Japanese Company Techno X Acquired
Analytik Jena AG (Germany), a leading manufacturer of analytical instrumentation technology, life science instruments and optoelectronics, has acquired a 21.05% stake in the Japanese company Techno X Co., Ltd.
Based in Osaka, Japan, Techno X was established in 2009. Analytik Jena Japan, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Jena-based Group, has been selling X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy instruments made by Techno X since October 2011 as part of a sales partnership. X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy (XRF) is a method of determining the concentrations of elements in liquid and solid samples where, unlike with many other methods, the sample does not have to be destroyed for or during the analysis.
The XRF devices are assigned to the Group's strongest unit, Analytical Instrumentation. At present, the products are only sold in Japan. After the nuclear disaster in Fukushima, Techno X acted extremely quickly to develop an automated device to measure radioactive cesium. This device is exclusively sold by Analytik Jena Japan. In the medium term, there are plans to modify the Techno X product range for marketing in other regions as well.
SE Asia Regional Office
P S Analytical (UK) opens its regional offices in SE Asia. P S Analytical Pty Ltd is a market specialist for atomic fluorescence spectroscopy (AFS) instrumentation which is used for the determination of Hg and the hydride generating elements such as arsenic and selenium.
With the Head Office in the UK and a subsidiary in the US, the expansion into SE Asia recognises the increased growth and market activity for the P S Analytical product range.

Dr Tim Williams, Regional Manager recently reported “AFS offers some real analytical advantages over other spectroscopic techniques such as ICP-MS or CV-AAS in the traditional areas of environmental analysis. With the best detection parameters available and the ability to speciate analytes of differing toxicities, P S Analytical provides the tools for routine testing as well as research capability.
Additionally the role and concerns of mercury in petrochemical refining and associated processes is an important area for PSA leading to the development of our on line systems for both liquids and gases. The local office will provide support for the team of current distributors and bolster our ability to respond quickly and effectively to our customers.”
