FVG Select 2017: A unique event for millers across all sectors
J
ust shy of 1000 visitors eagerly made their way to the historical German city of Cologne, for the first FVG SELECT being organised by Victam International BV, from June 1314, 2017. This international event welcomed attendees from every continent and from 59 countries in total. Visitors included those from animal feed processing, grain processing, ingredients and additives sector, aquafeed, petfood and biomass pelleting industries. This was a unique set-up with little or no equipment on display and with just a select group of 59 companies exhibiting their latest products and services across the two-day event. This afforded plenty of time to meet up with new and current customers and exhibitors in a personal yet productive fashion. Well-informed and welcoming to their booths, company representatives included those from Dinnissen Process Technology, Van Aarsen, Famsun and more.
