GREAT EXHIBITOR INTEREST IN INTERPACK 2011
TWO NEW SPECIAL SHOWS

Six weeks after the exhibitor registration deadline for interpack PROCESSES AND PACKAGING 2011, the booked exhibit space has already reached similar levels as in 2008. When last held in 2008, interpack occupied the entire available space in all 19 halls. In 2011, interpack will take place from May 12 - 18 at the fairgrounds in Düsseldorf, Germany

interpack’s position as the leading international trade fair for the industry is not only reflected in the reserved exhibit space but also in its focus on current industry topics. In addition to the INNOVATIONPARC PACKAGING with “Quality of Life” as the main theme, interpack 2011 will feature two new special shows: “Metal Packaging Plaza” and “Save Food!”

With the “Metal Packaging Plaza”, interpack creates a new meeting point for the international metal packaging industry and its suppliers. The center of the special show will be an information platform providing background details about current issues. Exhibitors will present their innovative metal packaging solutions around this platform.

“Save Food!” will demonstrate how each stage in the packaging value chain, including food transportation and logistics, can help in the worldwide fight against wasting of food. The special show will be managed by Messe Düsseldorf in collaboration with the Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO) of the United Nations and the supporting associations of interpack. In addition to highlighting the current situation, a multitude of solutions and concepts will be presented, showing for example how the protective function of packaging can effectively prevent food from spoiling between production and consumption.
