2009 DATES SET FOR UPAKOVKA/UPAK ITALIA 2010From January 26 - 29, 2010, UPAKOVKA/UPAK ITALIA 2010 - 18th International Trade Fair Packaging Machinery, Packaging Production and Packaging Material - will be staged again at the ZAO Expocentr in Moscow. The region’s leading trade fair for the industry will be organized by Messe Düsseldorf and its Russian subsidiary OOO Messe Düsseldorf Moscow in cooperation with the Italian event coordinator Centrexpo. Exhibit categories will include packing machinery and devices, machinery for the production of packaging materials, machinery and equipment for the pharmaceutical, cosmetic, bakery and confectionery industry as well as machinery and equipment for imprinting and finishing of packaging materials. Even during the global economic crisis, Russia continues to be an attractive and expanding economic region. The Russian industry is no longer just interested in updating old machinery but focuses on increasing productivity in order to compete in the international market. As a result, a new market segment for mechanical engineering suppliers has developed in Russia, with high-performance facilities that provide faster production at better prices. This development has created a demand for quality high-tech equipment. Especially the Russian packaging industry will benefit from this progress, since domestic producers of food, cosmetics and pharmaceuticals benefit from the higher prices for foreign consumer goods during a crisis. Last year the Russian government announced that companies in the food industry will receive support with their expansion efforts in the domestic market - a positive signal for future investments. A total of 330 exhibitors from 19 countries displayed their products at UPAKOVKA/UPAK ITALIA was last held in January 2009. The event attracted 20,500 visitors from the Russian Federation and neighboring countries (the visitor number includes attendees at the concurrently held INTERPLASTICA trade fair), 86% of which had decision making authority. The majority of the attendees at UPAKOVKA/UPAK ITALIA were from the food processing, chemical and pharmaceutical industry. Next year, INTERPLASTICA , 13th International Trade Fair Plastics and Rubber, will again be held together with UPAKOVKA/UPAK ITALIA.
