Four exhibitors, one event: Together at IFAT

Four exhibitors, one event: Together at IFAT

At IFAT 2026, cobos Fluid Service, nutricon Umweltschutztechnik, MRUT, and the Italian company ESAIN exhibited together for the first time. These four independent companies in the water management sector cover different areas of the water cycle and complement each other well in terms of expertise.

For us, this joint appearance was an important step. It quickly became clear at the booth that many customers no longer view these issues in isolation. In practice, digitalization, energy-efficient processes, water reuse, increasing regulatory requirements, and the handling of PFAS are often closely interrelated.

That is exactly why the joint presentation was so valuable. The participating companies were able to showcase their respective strengths while also highlighting where their areas of expertise complement each other. This led to discussions that were broader in scope than would have been possible with a traditional individual presentation. The trade show resulted in specific inquiries that are now being followed up on.

IFAT has thus demonstrated the added value that the FORUM network can create: independent companies remain close to their markets and customers, but can come together where shared visibility and complementary expertise make a difference.
