IPB 2009 – industry information hub

This year’s International Powder/Bulk Conference & Exhibition (IPB), held from 09.–11.12.2009 in ­Shanghai, was the scene of a lot of optimism and high-quality discussions. Despite a background of difficult economic times worldwide, the trade fair closed after three days with good results.
