Expo Pack Mexico 2007

Considering that the total market value for packaging machinery and parts in Mexico is pegged at about $505 million, it’s little wonder that the co-located Expo Pack Mexico 2007 and Procesa 2007 are expected to attract big crowds.

“Expo Pack Mexico and Procesa are the gateways to packaging innovation in Latin America,” notes Chuck Yuska, president and chief executive officer of the Packaging Machinery Manufacturer’s Institute (www.pmmi.org), sponsor of the show. “The entire spectrum of packaging and processing solutions are displayed in one location, making it easy to find innovative companies from across all market segments.”

The food and beverage industries represent 19% of Mexico’s GDP, and in terms of beer alone, Mexico is the third largest producer in the world. Pharmaceuticals is a sector that is also showing growth, averaging 7% in annual growth during the last three years.
