Pro2Pac 2009

Following its highly successful launch in 2007, Pro2Pac, the only biennial exhibition dedicated to processing and packaging in the food and drink industry is back for 2009 and looks set to be bigger and better than ever before. The 2009 event is expected to increase by over 31 per cent in size as Pro2Pac becomes widely recognised as one of the industry’s must-attend exhibitions. Taking place alongside IFE09 in ExCeL, London, from 15 to 18 March 2009, Pro2Pac’s strategic positioning will offer visitors and exhibitors a unique 360-degree perspective of the food and drink industry.

Next year’s Pro2Pac will aim to build on the inaugural 2007 exhibition by showcasing the latest ideas, equipment, light machinery, systems, technology, services and materials relevant to the food and drink industry. Exhibitors will not only benefit from meeting a dedicated food and drink manufacturing audience, but also the UK and international manufacturers and processors exhibiting at, and visiting the sister show, IFE in the adjacent exhibition halls.

New for this year’s show, Packaging Innovation @ Pro2Pac is a series of free seminars that will form one of the central visitor attractions at the exhibition. Featuring contributions from brand owners, major retailers, and industry experts, the seminars will address hot topics relating to global food and drink packaging trends. A combination of keynote addresses, short seminars and industry debates will provide useful and practical business advice for food and drink industry professionals.

In 2007, the exhibition attracted 12,900 registered visitors (ABC audited) including representatives from the UK’s top four multiples – Asda, Sainsburys, Tesco and Morrisons, as well as international retailers including Carrefour, Albert Hein, and Delhaize. In addition senior level delegates from the likes of Dairy Crest, Bernard Matthews, HJ Heinz, Kerry Foods and Nestlé, met with industry-leading manufacturers, technicians and processors to source solutions to their processing and packaging needs.
