Cary:  Hi, I'm Cary Sherburne, Senior Editor at WhatTheyThink.com and I'm here with Stefan Hunkeler.  We're here at Hunkeler Innovationdays and beautiful Lucerne, Switzerland.

Stefan Hunkeler:  The weather is nice.

Cary:  The weather is beautiful.  Maybe you can talk a little bit -- I know that a lot of work has gone into planning this exhibition and perhaps you could talk a little bit about how it's meeting your expectations and what we're seeing in terms of the attendance at the show.

Stefan Hunkeler:  We are very satisfied.  Our people did a great job.

Cary:  Good.

Stefan Hunkeler:  It's a lot of work to do but we are overwhelmed by the visitors -- the numbers of visitors.  We have more 5,000 registered people.  In one day 4,000 should be in the hall and will be a big fight to serve the customers and show them the latest applications.

Cary:  And finding space in the lunchroom.

Stefan Hunkeler:  Okay.  That's sounds also, yes.

Cary:  From how many different countries are people coming?

Stefan Hunkeler:  We have more or less 70 -- people coming from 70 countries, yes.

Cary:  Wow, that's great.  And I guess you have quite a big contingent from North America.

Stefan Hunkeler:  Yes, there are 250 Americans coming.  So that's quite a big number.

Cary:  So from a Hunkeler's perspective, you do this every other year, right?

Stefan Hunkeler:  Yes.

Cary:  And from a Hunkeler perspective, what are your objectives for this show?  I mean, why do you do this?

Stefan Hunkeler:  For us it's a great opportunity to present our power and to show our business model. It means partnering with many, many different companies.  Big, huge companies and smaller companies.  So for us it's a perfect platform to show our competence.

Cary:  And so 2013 will be the next one then?

Stefan Hunkeler:  Absolutely.  We plan it already, yes.

Cary:  That's great.  We'll look forward to seeing that.
