October 2019

From 14 to 18 October 2019, Augsburg was once again the center of the global lift industry: around 21,000 trade visitors from 107 countries and around 4,000 elevator experts attended interlift 2019. Although this is a slight decline in the number of trade visitors – compared with 21,260 in 2017 – a different figure is certainly decisive: 92% of trade visitors are delighted with a “very good to satisfactory” business result. By the way, preparations for the next trade fair will start soon: interlift 2021 will open its doors from 19 to 22 October 2021.
