The Meeting Place of the Packaging World
Packaging Valley represented by 13 companies at FachPack in Nuremberg.
Under the motto of FachPack “Good Ideas Start Here”, the association “Packaging Valley“ presents itself in Hall 2 with a joint booth of 1,200 m² and a lounge as a meeting place for discussions and networking. Packaging Valley thus creates a relaxed atmosphere for long-term exchanges between FachPack visitors and the member companies.
In and around this lounge, thirteen member companies from Packaging Valley, the region around Schwäbisch Hall and Crailsheim, will demonstrate innovative machine systems and the latest technologies. Once again, the diversity of technological skills and competence in the field of packaging systems which is to be found in Packaging Valley is quite clearly demonstrated. The exhibitors include packaging machine manufacturers, components suppliers and service companies. “With our booth concept for Packaging Valley we place great value on displaying the entire processing chain and presenting ourselves as a future-oriented, regionally-linked network in the packaging industry” according to Kurt Engel, CEO of the Packaging Valley Association. For Packaging Valley the FachPack is also an opportunity to present the new joint website and to promote the packaging conference “Packaging Valley Days 2016”.
At www.packaging-valley.com/en/find-supplier, visitors will find detailed information about Packaging Valley and its members – an opportunity to find the right supplier thereby providing even more benefits from a visit to FachPack.
