Successful India Packaging Meet Sets Tone For The Upcoming
Events
India
Packaging Show and India Converting Show visitor campaign
gets an edge.
India
Package Meet 2011, the week-long sojourn traversing
through the most industrialised and flourishing regions of
the state of Gujarat, concluded successfully on 10 September
2011. Following a vibrant trail of opportunity, the roving
event of Print-Packaging.Com (P) Ltd., attracted 150+ visitors
at Vapi, 250+ visitors at Ahmedabad and 200+ visitors at Rajkot.
 The
event comprised of a half-day conference focused on technological
developments in packaging & package printing and a day
long table top exhibition showcasing products & services
from 30+ exhibitors at each venue.
The
Conference at Vapi, the first destination of the event, had
a ceremonial beginning with the lighting of the lamp at the
hands of Ashok Shukla, President, Vapi Industries Association;
Vijay Mishra, President, Daman Industries Association; Vijay
Shah, Chairman, All India Food Processors Association (Baroda
Chapter) and Anup Wadwa, Director, Automation Industry Association
(AIA).
At
Ahmedabad, Devanshu L Gandhi, Managing Director, Vadilal Industries
Ltd. and P V Sivaram, B&R Industrial Automation were the
special guests at the inaugural function.
The
conference at Rajkot, the final venue of the event, was inaugurated
by Vasant Bhai Jivani, President, Saurashtra Plastic Manufacturers
Association and Kishor Sanghvi, President, Rajkot Plastic
manufacturers Association.
“At
one level, the meet takes the packaging event to the grassroots-
where the packaging is made and consumed and at another level
it serves to whet the attendees’ appetite to visit the
International events that we organize in Mumbai, Delhi and
Hyderabad’, said Anil Arora, President, Print-Packaging.com
(P) Ltd who also gave a presentation about the company’s
upcoming events later in the year.
The

Automation Pvt. Ltd.; Lalit Jain, Siemens Ltd.; Harveer Sahni,
Weldon Celloplast Ltd.; Avinash Bangale, BOSCH Ltd. and Deven
Mehta, Rajoo Engineers Ltd.
 “Vapi,
being a small industrial cluster, does not see many trade
events organized in this area. India Package Meet was my first
hand experience with a packaging conference & exhibition
and I must say it was great learning process for me. The speakers
were very co-operative in helping us understand the technical
aspects of their presentations by using easy terms and sharing
case studies,” said Jatin Shah from Shah Print &
Pack Industries.
.
The
table top exhibition at each of the venues showcased products
and services from the providers of machines, materials and
services to end users, package converters and corrugated box
makers. Making the most of the unparalleled networking opportunity
were leading companies like Accuweigh Automation & Solutions
Pvt. Ltd., B & R Industrial Automation (P) Ltd., Baumer

 “The
event provided us with a unique opportunity to reach our customers
from the industrial clusters of Gujarat. There was an incessant
footfall of visitors in Ahmedabad and at Rajkot, the response
was much beyond our expectation,” said Ignatius Selvaraj,
Pepperl + Fuchs (India) Pvt. Ltd.
“The
huge response of India Package Meet has only
added to our enthusiasm. The focus now shifts to our main
exhibitions- India Converting Show to be
held from 23-26 November at Mumbai and India Packaging Show
to be held from 7-10 December at New Delhi. As they say- where
the trail ends, the journey begins!” said Arora.
