In the past six weeks alone, 130 packaging solutions providers have contracted space at PACK EXPO, and the event organizer, PMMI, now expects it close to 1,200 exhibiting companies at this year’s event, which takes place in Las Vegas from 5^th to 7^th October .

“The recent surge in contracted space is significant, because it indicates solutions providers are seeing a recovery in the future and making strong marketing decisions with their PACK EXPO participation,” said Charles D. Yuska, president & CEO, PMMI. “In addition to the recent exhibitor activity, attendance figures are also showing a surge.”

PMMI has been working with other organisations to create a fuller, more cost-effective PACK EXPO experience and many other industry events including pavilions and annual meetings, now coincide with the event.

PMMI is a trade association with more than 540 member companies that manufacture packaging and packaging-related converting machinery, commercially-available packaging machinery components, containers and materials in the United States and Canada.
