An attraction center for the milling industry… Istanbul hosted an important event in the milling sector in March. IDMA Exhibition, one of the world’s largest meeting point of milling ma- chines, cereals and pulses processing industry, took place for the eighth time on 20-23 March 2019 at Istanbul Expo Center. The event provided a unique networking platform for all the interested parties. More than 200 brands from 26 countries demonstrated their new technologies, so- lutions, and services to buyers. The exhibitors found the opportunity to generate brand awareness, meet new customers and asses the market potential. The producers, investors, engineers, academicians who parti- cipated in IDMA were able to meet under one roof to discuss the prob- lems of the sector and find solutions. Since the first edition in 2006, IDMA has played a significant role in strengthening the brand awareness of the milling companies, assisted them to reach new customers, diversify their markets and establish new export links. And the eight edition is no exception. We had the oppor- tunity to listen to the exhibitors and visitors and published their views on the exhibition in this issue. When you read their remarks, you would see that IDMA has become a platform for technology, information, and innovation transfer in this industry. IDMA also serves a platform for training of the qualified labor force that the milling, flour and feed sector need. Association of Grain and Pulses Processing Technologies, Storage and Analysis Systems (TABA- DER), which brings together the stakeholders of the milling industry under its roof, provided certified milling training at IDMA for the third time. It is clear that such an event which contributes to the sector will con- tinue to be one of the attraction centers for the milling industry through long ages. editor Namık Kemal PARLAK Parantez Media Parantez Media company/miller-magazine millermagazine MillerMagazine Parantez Publishing and Congress Ltd.
