Packaging Innovations Show Bookings Going Well
Easyfairs UK has reported a high level of interest from design agencies in the Packaging Innovations exhibition, which takes place on October 18 and 19 October at Sandown Park, Esher (UK).
The learnShops will also be a place where food companies can hear from their industry peers.
For instance Andrew Harris, Manufacturing Improvement Manager at Fletchers Bakery, will be outlining how the company, which is part of Northern Foods, has radically reduced wastage on the factory floor.
The learnShops have been organised in association with The Food Processing Faraday Partnership.
Haf Cennydd, Show Director of easyFairs Process, Pack and Track Food comments: "Time is precious at shows, that's why people coming to events don't simply want to hear about the latest technologies and hot new thinking, they also need to go away with ideas that they can instantly apply back at their factories".
"We've worked hard to offer a speaker programme that delivers on both counts." In addition to 15 free learnShops, Process, Pack and Track Food will play host to over 80 exhibitors who span a range of fields including waste management, logistics as well as processing automation and traceability.
The companies signed up include AFM Food Machinery, Avery WeighTronix, Belgravium, Comark, Envirowise, Gainsborough Engineering UK, Imaje UK and Loma Systems through to Markem Systems, Mil-tek, Norpak, SCA Packaging, Seepex UK, Weber Marking Systems, Yamato Scale Dataweigh and Zafire.
Visitors will also enjoy a number of benefits which separate an easyFairs event from the exhibition crowd.
For instance admissions are free, the catalogue is free, parking is free to those who pre-register, there's even free tea and coffee at the Shows plus a copy of easyFairs' Report on the Food and Drink Industry.
Based on research among over 100 leading market players the Report will be an ideal tool for food and drink companies who want to benchmark their own business against their industry peers.
