history
The Intec took place for the first time in 1998 in the exhibition halls at the Schlossteich in Chemnitz. Organized and carried out by Messe-Management Balke + Kaiser from Chemnitz. But already in 1999 the halls were fully booked, so that the fair 2000 moved to the Chemnitz Park-Halle Röhrsdorf. From now on there was a steady growth of the trade fair so that already in 2006 the Chemnitz trade fair, most recently 11,500 visitors and 432 exhibitors, was no longer enough and a move to Leipzig was decided. The 10th Intec 2007 took place for the first time at the New Leipzig Exhibition Center. Here the Intec was linked with 2 other trade fairs, the rohima and Z, the supplier fair. In 2008 the Rohima was integrated into the Z so that there is only one trade fair duo. In 2008, 1,200 exhibitors and 16,000 visitors came to the two trade fairs.
