The return to growth is now confirmed for the packaging sector. The September 2011 Packaging Observatory statistics, encompassing 782 French professionals (buyers, and packaging and equipment manufacturers), whose results will be published shortly, show an upswing in production forecasts for the large majority of industrial sectors. (See http://www.packagingeurope.com/Packaging-Europe-News/44681/ for a detailed breakdown of the statistics.)
With the sales launch of the exhibition’s 40th session now in full swing the outlook is definitely bright for EMBALLAGE 2012, due to take place from 19 to 22 November 2012 at Paris Nord Villepinte France.

More about EMBALLAGE 2012:
Véronique Sestrières, Exhibition Director, says: “What does the EMBALLAGE 2012 landscape look like on launching? For its 2011 edition, the Packaging Observatory statistics, which we now publish every six years, give a positive outlook for the sector as concerns its medium-term (2012–2014) growth prospects: prudent investment, enterprising R&D policies, market diversification and service development. Once again, this strategy demonstrates the extremely pragmatic approach adopted by the packaging industry.
“The favourable context is already mirrored in our bookings: already more than 600 exhibitors have already registered or are in the process of registration. This represents 53% of the exhibition area. Although it’s a little early to confirm any trends, the international exhibitor base – where we already anticipate excellent progress by countries such as Turkey, China, Taiwan, and Korea – was the quickest to register. France, Italy and Germany maintain their positions as Top Three at this stage.
“We can see that our clients are convinced that a trade exhibition, and EMBALLAGE in particular, is an effective medium. The opportunity of increasing their business contacts by 50% in 4 days obviously weighed heavily in the commercial balance, forming a good response in the current economic climate.”

We have already participated in six editions, and as all participations were successful, we are eager to register for Emballage 2012."

The contacts that we establish are high-quality contacts with a large proportion of foreign visitors."
