An all-in-one package

Whatever your processing and packaging needs — whether it is raw materials storage and handling or distribution — next month's three-day

event at the NEC should include something to interest everyone.

Drawing together over 800 suppliers from more than 30 different countries, there will be exhibits covering every aspect of the processing and packaging cycle. The show, which runs from 15-18 May, provides a showcase for the many varied disciplines that make up the processing and packaging industries.

For the seasoned visitor, this year's show may look a little different. It has been refocused on visitor quality and potential spending power by integrating the two themes of processing and packaging. This has been achieved by merging the strengths of Pakex, the PPMA show, Eurochem and Interphex into one combined event.

The event's organisers put the combined value of the UK processing and packaging sectors at £6.4bn, and say it therefore makes sense to focus their energy and resources on what they regard as a rapidly integrating sector.
