Ipack-Ima show branches out

Next year’s Ipack-Ima show will incorporate much more than packaging machinery.

Next year’s Ipack-Ima show, scheduled for March 4 to 8, 2003, at the Milan fairgrounds, will incorporate much more than packaging machinery, according to Guido Corbella of UCIMA, the Italian organization of packaging machinery builders. Integration is the buzzword for the exhibition as the show adds food processing, beverages and logistics exhibits, plus Pack-Mat, an exhibit entirely devoted to packaging materials; overall the show is expected to grow by 18%.
