"Record-breaking only begins to describe it"boasts the headline on packexpo.com. It was the largest PACK EXPO Las Vegas show ever in terms of attendees, exhibitors and floor space:
- A record crowd of 25,000+ professionals attending.
- 23,000 people pre-registered, a 14 percent increase over 2009.
- 1,633 companies exhibiting.
- A 630,000+ sq-ft show floor.
And, although, PMMI expects growth to slow in third and fourth quarters, "I can tell you that 2011 will be a record year for packaging machinery,"Izquierdo told reporter Rory Harrington.
