The Total Processing and Packaging Exhibition continued its reign as the UK's largest three-day exhibition with over 400 exhibiting companies showcasing the latest production line solutions, material developments and product innovations. Returning to the NEC, Birmingham from 4-6 June 2013, the exhibition had a total attendance of 8,731(subject to ABC audit) and brought together leading experts from across the processing and packaging industries to share the latest advice, reveal groundbreaking product innovations and put the spotlight on the sector's pressing issues.
Speaking about the optimistic atmosphere at the NEC, Simon

Speaking about the session, Andrew Speck, Commercial and Environmental Packaging Manager at Marks & Spencer, said: “The seminar was a success with a lot of interested people with good questions. The people who get in touch with us afterwards are looking to learn more about how M&S work sustainably, which is great as it puts us in a position where we are recognised as a forward thinking company.” Other popular sessions included Perception Research Service's Executive Vice President, Joe Schurtz who offered an insight into what shoppers see when they look at brands supported by consumer research; British Retail Consortium's Packaging Technical Manager, Joanna Griffiths who highlighted how to get the best out of your packaging supply chain and
