Exhibition preview Total Processing & Packaging 2013 The TOTAL package
Hundreds of exhibitors from across the UK packaging and processing industries will be demonstrating the advantages of their equipment at the 2013 Total Processing and Packaging Exhibition, taking place at Birmingham’s NEC on the 4-6th June 2013
T
his year’s Total Processing & Packaging exhibition takes place against a tough backdrop for the industry. Manufacturing output fell by three per cent in the year to March 2013, according to the Office for National Statistics. On top of that, the manufacturing industry is suffer- ing a degree of collateral damage from the horsemeat scandal so it could be forgiven for looking glum. Luckily, there are some chinks of light amongst the darkness: some firms are finding ways to turn the crises into opportunities.
Graham Earl, exhibition manager at
the Total Processing & Packaging Exhibition, says: “It sounds counter- intuitive, but tough times can be posi- tive for manufacturers, as they act as a catalyst for innovation. We think that this is where a show like Total comes into its own – it is a place to meet peers from across the industry, share the latest ideas and thinking, and find ways to chart a course through the tough terrain.”
Over 320 exhibitors will be on hand to demonstrate just how processing and packaging professionals can improve efficiency, accuracy and con- sistency while focusing on innovation. Comprising three dedicated hubs including Pakex, PPMA and Interphex, attendees are invited to dis- cover the latest innovations in packag- ing design at the Pakex Hub, machinery to enhance productivity at the PPMA show and new manufactur- ing solutions designed specifically for the pharmaceutical industry in the Interphex hub.
From design, automation and con- trol, packaging machinery to materials and containers, no matter what indus- try or product you’re in charge of, there is no better place to discover the latest solutions and technologies avail- able to enhance your business and transform your production line.
