Ikan AT IBC:
Booth # C48 Hall 9
IBC returns to Amsterdam starting September  10th and running through the 15th.  This year, ikan will send our very own Ross Grasse who is in charge of international sales.   We asked Ross what prompted ikan to exhibit at this year’s IBC.

“Ikan’s international clientele continues to expand therefore IBC is a natural next step in our company’s evolution.   We have a number of new products we will be debuting for our international customers, and we look forward to personally greeting our international dealers and end-users in the beautiful city of Amsterdam .”
