Longstanding CONTROL project manager Gitta Schlaak characterised the atmosphere at CONTROL’s anniversary event in 2011 as follows: “It was simply fabulous to see how many exhibitors took advantage of CONTROL’s 25th birthday as their most important business platform, in order to present themselves with new-found strength to expert visitors from all of the world’s markets at nobly designed and lavishly laid out booths with their latest products. It was a genuine showcase, and the expert visitors contributed to the event’s great success right from the very beginning with concrete RFQs and strong demand for products and solutions for their QA requirements.”
