ADF - driving innovation in aerosols and dispensing
Personal care is the main consumer of aerosols, and more than 5.7 billion units are produced in Europe out of the 16 billion produced worldwide. ADF attracts international visitors from various industries such as pharmaceuticals, automotive and others in search of innovations. ADF greatly facilitates cross-industry networking and technology transfer with the many brand buyers involved.
