Interpack surpasses expectations

Interpack Processess and Packaging 2008 was a source of excellent business for the 2,744 exhibitors. On few other occasions in the event’s fifty-year history has the mood in the halls been quite as exuberant, the contacts forged by companies as abundant and the volume of orders placed as high.   A total of 179,000 visitors got the lowdown on innovations in machinery for producing packaging, confectionery and bakery goods as well as packaging of all material classes between 24 and 30 April.   The exhibitors at the biggest edition of interpack to date were in an almost euphoric mood. They reported closing very good deals that exceeded even the already optimistic expectations in the run-up to interpack, as well as forging many highly promising contacts that signal lucrative post-fair business.   As a result, 97 percent of the participating companies have already indicated their intention to exhibit at the next interpack in three years’ time.   PotatoPro photo impression of Interpack
