On the 50th anniversary UGT was exhibiting at the joint booth of German Water Partnership.
With the brand UGT and In-Situ we showed a comprehensive product range in the field of water quality and water level-measurement with our In-Situ level loggers and the multi-parameter sensor AT 600. With the UGT flow-measurement systems from the UGT water related products and with our highly sophisticated sensors in the soil application like the new RFID-tensiometer, the full range tensiometer and our soil moisture probe UMP 1 we offered in this environmental exhibition an interesting programme to our visitors.

At the IFAT there were 3097 exhibitors from 59 countries. Around 138000 visitors from more than 170 nations came from May 30 – June 3 to the Munich exhibition centre “Messestadt West and Ost” to inform themselves and get to know the latest innovation in the field of water, sewage, waste and raw materials. UGT used this platform to present the new full range tensiometer and the RFID plus tensiometer which gives scientists the opportunity for long time monitoring – the first tensiometer that can stay for 3 years in the measuring field.
We want to use the resources of our world in a sustainable way – IFAT proved its approach as   a global event and about 45% of all visitors came from foreign countries.
UGT used IFAT as a meeting point to discuss new projects to show the great combination between the UGT developments and the water related products of In-Situ. New alliances were planned to get for our customer process related solutions.

More than 200 visitors from altogether 27 countries came to see our booth. It was great that each delegation that visited the booth of German Water Partnership also came and informed themselves about the UGT range. Outstanding was the visit from the delegation of Iran and Latin America. Munich was again a wonderful host for IFAT and UGT used the opportunity to combine the IFAT exhibition with a specialized agent training in Freising at our UGT branch office right in front of the doors to the city of Munich. Our partners from our French agent SDEC, Adrien and Thierry as well as our agent for Serbia, Slovenia and Croatia, Marin Antic and Katharina made use of the intensive training opportunity.  After the 2 days training course on the 1st of June customers and partners from UGT booth at IFAT came together for a joint meeting in Freising to exchange opinion with customers and UGT partners and friends. Also networking was a big part of our work. Whereas Markus and Kerstin from UGT worked together at the IFAT booth with Ana and Chris from In-Situ, Sascha Reth joined us for important meetings with clients and partners on the 2nd of June. Our team of scientists in Freising, Sascha, Christian, Katja and Florian presented the UGT equipment and worked together in the field with our agents. Katja Kaminski our secretary in Freising did a great job in organizing and helped to make our visitors to feel at home. Our production team in Müncheberg has done a great job to prepare all the equipment for the exhibition and the workshop for Munich/Freising.


New ideas for the cooperation with our partners see our meeting with Eijkelkamp was planned and many clients recognized good synergies between the classic UGT production programme and the product range that we represent. We thank our customers and visitors for the attention, thanks to the IFAT team – and GWP as our stand organizer! We will be back at the next IFAT exhibition which will take place from May 14 to 18, 2018 in Munich.
