World packaging 'capital' shifts to interpack

Dsseldorf, Germany, takes the spotlight for packaging as interpack 99 opens 15 exhibition halls to some 2괌 packaging exhibitors, May 6 to 12.

This exhibition is the 15th Intl. Trade Fair for Packaging and Confectionery Machinery and Packages. The fair is organized by Messe Dsseldorf (details at Web site: www.tradefair.de)with assistance provided by U.S. subsidiary, Messe Dsseldorf North America (Chicago, IL).

The fairgrounds are practically a self-contained city, including restaurants, banks, shopping arcades, post office and a variety of travel service offices. It holds just about everything except the always-scarce hotel rooms.

Because of its size, Messe Dsseldorf compartmentalizes exhibitors. Companies exhibiting packaging machinery fill more than eight exhibition halls (839ꯠ sq' in '96). Exhibitors of materials, containers and packaging occupy more than three halls (356ꯠ sq' in '96). The confectionery machinery exhibits are contained in two halls and parts of two others.
