ProPac set for 2013 return
The UK processing and packaging exhibition dedicated entirely to the food and drink sector, Pro2Pac, is set to make its return next March. And, say organisers, it will be the biggest and best yet.
The biennial event will be back with a brand new layout that reflects its ‘focus on visitor experience’.
“Incorporating a host of new features, the event will welcome UK and international exhibitors showcasing the most up-to-date packaging and processing technologies from around the world,” says event director Christopher McCuin. “Over 70 companies have already signed up, including some of the industry’s leading names such as Rexam High Barrier Plastics, Multivac UK, Rapid Action Packaging, PFM Packaging Machinery and Brother UK, while a third will be making their first appearance.”
Pro2Pac 2013 is also putting sustainability and the environment even higher on the agenda, with the Sustainable Solutions Zone designed to provide visitors with information on the latest green and sustainable technologies and practices.
“Not only will visitors be able to learn more about responsible recycling and waste reduction, but they will also have the opportunity to gain insight into cutting-edge technology in renewable energy,” says McCuin.
Meanwhile, the Pro2Pac Live seminar theatre, one of the main attractions, will feature a programme of industry experts sharing insights into key issues and current hot topics, including sustainability, legislation and risk management.
Put together by Robert Herridge, managing director of Packology, and covering the entire packaging supply chain, the programme will be interspersed with real-life case studies and will incorporate everything from design, branding, artwork and innovation, through to technology, manufacturing and cost reduction.
Adds McCuin: “Pro2Pac 2013 is set to be our largest and most impressive show yet, bringing together companies from across the food and drink industry providing key insights into the most pressing issues in the UK’s largest manufacturing sector.”
