HEAVY DUTY SACKS
27 – 28 June 2017, Maritim Hotel, Cologne, Germany
AMI’s Heavy Duty Sacks 2017 is a brand new forum where all parts of the industrial bag and sack supply chain will meet to discuss key trends and developments influencing market growth and profitability.
Heavy duty sacks, made both of plastic and paper, have recorded rapid growth in the past two decades. Plastic sacks have been successfully taking market share from paper alternatives in recent years thanks to the development of sophisticated coextruded constructions for heavy duty sacks especially in the form-fill-seal (FFS) sector. This has allowed significant downgauging and material saving opportunities as well improved performance for plastic sacks over paper. Also, further innovative developments in deaeration systems have enabled FFS films to make greater inroads into the fine powder sack markets, such as cement packaging, which have traditionally been dominated by the paper alternatives.
Heavy Duty Sacks 2017 will look in detail at the latest raw material and technology developments affecting today’s industrial sack sector and the implications for the future direction of the industry. A busy programme of international speakers will kick off with a business forum which will aim to give the context of the current business environment in which end customers operate. AMI Consulting will provide a detailed overview of a recent study analysing the structural changes in the European heavy duty sack market. The event’s key note speaker, Tarmac, will offer first-hand experience from the brand owner’s perspective of switching from paper to plastic sacks for their cement products. The following cutting- edge speakers will provide in-depth insights in the trend-setting developments in resin technology, film extrusion and packaging equipment which contribute to the creation of next generation industrial sacks with ever improving performance, while assuring a balanced and optimised cost structure during the product life cycle. The conference will be wrapped up by a discussion panel which will provide an opportunity for delegates to bring up any burning issue they face as well as to raise any outstanding questions. The panel will be represented by major players from across the supply chain including brand owners, sack producers and raw material and machinery suppliers.
Whatever your involvement in this industry, be it raw material supplier, equipment manufacturer, film or sack producer, converter or end user, Heavy Duty Sacks 2017 will provide an ideal opportunity to meet, network and discuss with like-minded professionals and to be equipped with all you need to make reasoned business decisions.
