Prime Positioning For Packaging, Food Processing, Plastics, Print

A decision to bring forward the exhibition dates for co-locating shows Propak Africa, Pro-Plas Africa, Print Expo and Pro-Label ahead of the busy 2010 world cup soccer schedule ensures prime positioning and an improved business platform for the packaging, food processing, plastics, print and labelling industries. Brought forward from March 2010, the exhibitions will now be held at the Johannesburg Expo Centre from 20-23 October 2009, facilitating business networking and product sales ahead of the 2010 frenzy of activity.

"We see this as a positive move, " says John Knocker, Director, Specialised Exhibitions, organisers of the shows. "Not only will the venue have been significantly refurbished and upgraded inside and out – due to its selection as the 2010 World Cup media centre - but October is also positioned at a prime time to conduct business prior to the final surge of business into the 2010 period."

Michelle Bedser, Propak Africa Exhibition Manager, adds: "The combined shows are set to be the most powerful marketing vehicle for the industries they represent. Floor space sales are going well with high interest from local and international companies, with many companies having booked space immediately after their participation in 2007."

"The 2007 shows provided an extremely positive investment climate with many exhibitors reporting a high number of promising contacts and successful deals concluded, " says Bedser, "and again, in 2009, visitors will be exposed to the latest in global trends and technology developments, as well as be able to source the latest in new products, whilst enjoying the superb networking opportunity."

Propak Africa 2009 enjoys the active support and recognition of the most reputable institutions in the industry including The Institute of Packaging in South Africa, The Packaging Council of South Africa, The Plastics Federation of South Africa, The Flexographic Technical Association of South Africa and the Printing Industries Federation South Africa (PIFSA).
