PetrolWorld is proud to be associated with this important European exhibition as International Media Partner. This preview has a brief interview with Bruno Boroewitsch followed by a summary of key international supplier companies who are exhibiting. You can also view this article on line at petrolworld.NET. Four years ago in 2014, I decided to drive to the first UNITI expo from my hometown of Dublin. Having lived in the Stuttgart region nearly three decades ago, it was to be a journey of nstalgia as well as the fuel retail experience driving across Europe. I had done this once before with Automechanika in 2002, when I drove from Warsaw office to Frankfurt for the event and then on to London, where I resided at the time. The fuel retail experience and issues for the consumer in Europe has changed quite a lot. While I have written about these fuel retail experiences, I have promised myself to write about the journey’s themselves at some stage! This year I fly direct from Dublin to Stuttgart like other fuel retailers and equipment distributors from Ireland. My hotel close to the airport was organised a long time ago and will be practical for spending time at the Expo halls and seminar programs. Looking forward to meet up and find out the latest products and news in Europe. PETROLWORLD Issue 1 2018
