Hamaphot at photokina

The first photokina trade fair opened its doors on 19 May 1950, and of course Hamaphot was there from day one. Hamaphot exhibited picture frames, laboratory accessories, slide boxes and the powder flash unit.

The early days of photokina

photokina soon firmly established itself as the world’s largest and leading trade fair for the photo and imaging industry. While the trade fair section remains exclusively national in 1959, with 300 German companies, the photo exhibitions are already international. Even back then, 75,000 visitors poured into the exhibition centre in Cologne.

Today, photokina welcomes roughly 185,000 attendees.
