CERAMITEC is the 11th International Trade Fair for Machinery, Equipment, Plant, Processes and Raw Materials for Ceramics and Powder Metallurgy. CERAMITEC is the trade fair with the biggest variety of suppliers and products for the ceramics industry – from raw materials, to preparation and forming, the firing process and packaging. At CERAMITEC 2009 the emphasis will be on creative product development and flexible, efficient systems for powder metallurgy, for the classic ceramics fields of sanitary ware, crockery, building products, refractory ware – and for the ever more important field of technical ceramics. For this area in particular CERAMITEC 2009 will offer an innovations portal, for the presentation of new applications and components in the mobile communications and automobile industry, in environmental, medical and armouring technology. Ceramitec 2009 is the world marketplace for ceramics technology, displaying a comprehensive range of products and services from all the major companies. 1.
