Date and location: Oct 19–21, 2021, Messe Basel
Since 1959, ILMAC has been the sole Swiss industry fair for chemicals and life sciences that depicts all the industrial applications in process and laboratory technology. As a user-oriented trade fair, ILMAC is geared to experts in pharmaceuticals, chemicals, biotechnology, food, drinks, cosmetics and others. Despite this wide range of sectors, ILMAC is still of particularly manageable proportions (it can be visited in a single day), is close to hand (staged in the midst of the pharmaceutical and chemical industries) and depicts the Swiss market in its entirety.
SCS, as the initial founder of the fair, is a partnering with Messe Schweiz and coordinates the collaboration with society partners and the Universities of Applied Sciences. It is also the official organizer of the ILMAC Forum activities.
This year, ILMAC is the only live event for the laboratory and process technology sector to be held in the German-speaking part of Switzerland. For the safety of all visitors, exhibitors and service providers, we will again implemented the MCH protection and hygiene concept already successfully implemented at ILMAC LAUSANNE 2020.
