The Australian Packaging & Processing Machinery Association (APPMA) will once again have a strong presence at the Australian Pavilion during ProPak Asia this year.

To be held in Bangkok, Thailand from 14 to 17 of June, ProPak Asia will welcome over 2000 exhibitors from over 45 countries and host 18 international pavilions from Australia, Asia, Europe, and North America.

The APPMA has arranged a walk-on package for all exhibitors in the Australian Pavilion, with custom stands also available.

In 2016 the APPMA identified a need to help Australian packaging and processing manufacturers and distributors by creating an Australian Pavilion at ProPak Asia each year.

The pavilion enables Australian manufacturers and distributors to showcase their products and companies to the Asian market in an affordable way.

Under the Australian Pavilion, your company will receive a prime position in the new packaging zone in the show, additional promotions and advertising for the exhibition, networking opportunities and social events, and the APPMA will look after all your exhibition requirements for you.

You simply walk on with some banners and flyers.

ProPak Asia 2017 will focus on eight industry zones including; Processing Tech Asia, Packaging Tech Asia, Drink Tech Asia, Pharma Tech Asia, Lab & Test Asia, Materials Asia, Coding, Marking & Labelling and Coldchain, Logistics & Warehousing.

ProPak Asia will be held alongside Printech Asia, a new event dedicated to technologies for converting, package printing and labelling.

Over 5000 machines will be on display from names such as Buhler, Heuft, Hörmann, Mitsubishi Chemical, Siemens, Tetra Pak and more.
