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.

ADF was launched in 2007 with 29 exhibitors and 400 visitors at the request of one of the largest cosmetic brands to meet the specific needs of aerosol and dispensing. It is the only event dedicated to showcasing the world’s most innovative aerosol and dispensing technologies.
