Multi-Functional: Shut-Off Valve for Pipelines

After six years of anticipation, AchemAsia, the International Expo and Innovation Forum for Sustainable Chemical Production, has returned with a renewed spirit, bringing together global expertise, Chinese innovation, and a shared commitment to a greener industrial future. That is the conclusion of the organisers of AchemAsia.

With 267 exhibitors from 14 countries and regions, the 12th AchemAsia opened its doors in Shanghai, China. With a focus on sustainable chemical production, plant and equipment manufacturers, suppliers to the process industry and service providers will be showcasing the latest solutions for the chemical and pharmaceutical industries until Thursday.

From 14 to 18 June 2027, ACHEMA will be back at the Frankfurt exhibition grounds, placing even greater emphasis on the future-oriented topics of energy, life sciences, sustainability and digitalisation. Exhibitors can register now.

ACHEMA Middle East was officially launched at an executive-level ceremony in Riyadh, Saudia-Arabia, on 18 September 2025, marking the beginning of a new era for the region’s process industries. Organised by DECHEMA in strategic partnership with Messe Frankfurt and supported by the Saudi Ministry of Industry and Mineral Resources, the launch event brought together senior figures from government, business, and the global scientific community.

The WIKA Group acquired AB Svenska Industri Instrument SINI as a wholly owned subsidiary, effective 1 August. This move strengthens the global measurement technology manufacturer’s presence in Sweden. Established in Gothenburg in 1948, SINI was originally founded as a service provider for the shipping industry.

The WIKA Group is leveraging international sales expertise. On 1 July 2025, Sascha Niederhagen assumed the role of Executive Vice President EMEAI. As a member of the Management Board, he will oversee sales activities in Europe, Africa, India and the Middle East, as well as Corporate Marketing and Key Account Management.
