Packaging and printing exhibition given fresh impetus with new partnership.

The Thai Printing Association and The Thai Packaging Association recently announced that they have signed a partnership with Messe Düsseldorf Asia, a subsidiary of Messe Düsseldorf GmbH, to jointly organize a regional packaging and printing exhibition in Bangkok, Thailand. The aim of the partnership is to develop an international exhibition for the packaging and printing industries with the focus of serving the markets in Southeast Asia and beyond. The exhibition will be held from 26 to 29 April 2007 in Bangkok, Thailand and will occupy 15,000 square metres of space at Bangkok’s prestigious venue – BITEC, Bangkok International and Trade Exhibition Centre.

Thailand (Bangkok) is an excellent venue to host PACK PRINT INTERNATIONAL as the country is today a major exporter of print and packaging products. The Thai government is also gearing the country to be Asia’s printing hub by 2007. Thailand as a country has the most growth potential in the region and has become a preferred investment hub and gateway for product distribution to other countries in the region and beyond. The healthy Thai domestic market is an ideal basis for businesses across the region.

PACK PRINT INTERNATIONAL will be the premier exhibition for the packaging and printing industries, providing a unique platform for manufacturers of packaging and printing machinery, processing companies, designers and suppliers to exhibit to a targeted audience. The exhibition will attract visitors from all over Southeast Asia including India and Oceania. The exhibition will present excellent opportunities for the industries in the region to evaluate its investing decisions in packaging and printing equipment and technologies.
