EVENT PREVIEW | SINGLE-SERVE CAPSULES
AMI’s second Single-Serve Capsules conference in North America takes place in Atlanta in March. We take a look at the programme and speakers
Serving a growth market
Single-Serve Capsules, Atlanta 2019 brings together industry-elite speakers from the entire supply chain with the aim of identifying opportunities and overcoming obstacles in the North American single-serve capsules industry. The conference provides a unique forum to debate and evaluate the global trends, innovations, challenges and opportu- nities facing the industry through the entire value chain of plastic and metal capsules. This includes capsule fillers, coffee roasters, capsule moulders, material suppliers, technology and machinery suppliers as well as companies expanding the scope of applications for single-serve capsules. From a niche market, single-serve beverage capsules have grown to be one of the most important sub-applications of the ambient thin wall packaging segment in the past five years. Following the disruptive changes to the supply chain in 2012, new opportunities have been created for both end-users and converters to tap into this growing market segment through compatible products. New to this year’s conference, AMI introduces a more upstream market focus on product innovation including cold beverage, nutritional supplements and even food applications.

Here we preview the conference, with a closer look at the line-up of expert speakers.
