that PPMA Total’s success over the years, lies in the fact that the show’s agenda is always a
true reflection of the direction of the industry with the needs and the requirements of visitors at its heart,” explained Richard Little, PPMA Show Director. “There is always something to discover throughout the aisles, be that new processing equipment, a small niche product or a whole integrated production solution that can increase production efficiencies, deliver cost savings or simply enhance operations for visitor’s businesses.” Visitors will also benefit from a rich
showground for networking and developing future business partnerships with unparalleled access to leading industry experts willing to share their insights, expertise and knowledge. “Where else can you access such a wealth of free consultancy whilst being surrounded by the largest gathering of live technology demonstrations and new product launches – there really is no substitute for face-to-face conversation and getting real ‘hands-on’ experience with the latest equipment. “While innovation will remain a key theme
throughout the show, machinery, equipment and services that offer real production efficiencies, labour and cost savings as well as helping to deliver on sustainability commitments will be a high priority for visitors to help them through the increasingly demanding economic challenges,” said Little. Sharing this outlook, Tony McDonald, Sales
and Marketing Director at ILAPAK UK said, “Two of the topics on everyone’s lips are workforce shortages and sustainable packaging..,” adding “The equipment we will have on show illustrates how we can help.” In addition, the PPMA Group Industry Awards
for 2022 will also take place at the show. On Wednesday 28th September, visitors can join the celebrations of the industry’s finest, who will be rewarded for their achievements in delivering innovative products, performance- enhancing solutions and best-in-class services, when winners will be announced and presented with their awards. PPMA Total Show 2022 is free to attend.
