At the first Eu'Vend in 2003 [9] there exhibited 178 companies from 13 countries.[10] Within these three days there came 3.968 trade visitors from 49 countries to Cologne - Germany. In the following years Eu'Vend has grown further. The participants in Eu'Vend 2013 comprised 217 suppliers from 23 countries.[11] These consisted of 126 exhibitors from Germany and 91 exhibitors (42%) from abroad.[12] With approx. 5.000 visitors from 60 countries (34 percent from abroad) Eu'Vend & coffeena is deemed to be the most international vending and coffee fair.[13]
