EPTDA Leadership Conference in Warsaw will bring on stage James Moore of Redburn Partners, to get a “Sense of what's going on in the world: an update on the industrial cycle”.

EPTDA executives will discover an independent perspective on the global industrial economic cycle. Where are we and where are we heading? Redburn seeks to disentangle the disparate elements that will propel growth in the mechanical power transmission markets in 2019 and beyond.

James Moore, frequently voted as one of the top analysts in his sector by global investors, has covered the European Capital Goods sector for over 20 years and EPTDA is privileged to have him onboard its Warsaw Leadership Conference.

With more than 70 years of experience, the world’s largest industrial fair, is, once again, host to all key technologies and core areas of industry in Hannover, Germany. This year, the “industry’s global hotspot” as defined by Deutsche Messe, is featuring some 6,500 exhibitors, organizing more than 1,400 events and expecting to facilitate some 6.5 million business contacts between its 220,000 expected visitors.

The EMEA Power Transmission Distributors Association (EPTDA) and its US affiliate PTDA will jointly host a pavilion for their members from 1-5 April 2019.

Members of both associations will benefit from great brand awareness as one united global community exhibiting one united booth, as leaders of the international PT/MC industry. The joint pavilion – Stand B35 – expands over 300 sqm located in Hall 24 and is dedicated exclusively to member companies of EPTDA and PTDA. The members will have access to a private business lounge too, allowing them to meet with customers and EPTDA and PTDA leaders in an exclusive environment.

According to the new 2019-2021 EPTDA Strategic Plan, one of its four core strategic initiatives and priorities is defined as Content Development.

To bring this initiative to life, EPTDA has introduced the EPTDA Market Insights – the association’s new initiative to bring its members all relevant market intelligence, trend analysis, reviews, forecasting, EU monitoring, and relevant economic updates in one newsletter.

Market Insights are available for EPTDA members Only.
