Better Packaging Promises Better Living
Indiapack 2004 showcased the potential of the packaging industry from 26- 29 October
The Indian Institute of Packaging with support from World Packaging Organization and Asian Packaging Organization organised an International packaging exhibition, India-pack 2004 and World Packaging Conference from October 26-29, 2004 at Bandra Kurla Complex, Mumbai. Around 200 exhibitors from 21 Countries including the host India showcased the potential of the packaging industry at the show.
E.V.K.S. Elangovan, Minister of State for Commerce & Industry, government of India, inaugurated the exhibition. Alexis Stassinopaulos, President, World Packaging Organisation and Dharmatilake Ratnayake, President, The Asian Packaging Federation (APF), Vice-president, World Packaging Organisation (WPO) and President, Sri Lanka Institute of Packaging were the guests of honour.
The reason for the tremendous interest in the Mumbai based event is seeded by India’s dynamic packaging market reputed to be worth US $14 billion and growing at 15% per annum. The IIP say that there is plenty of scope for development as only around 20% of the country’s population consumes 80% of its packaging output. With the population set to top one billion by 2020, the long-term prospects for the industry are immense.
The event offered both exhibitors and visitors a unique insight to the industry through the exhibition, likely to span eight core industry sectors, and a comprehensive schedule of seminars and workshops. The IIP had its own major conference with the WPO running their annual board meetings to coincide with Indiapack. The final judging of the Worldstar packaging awards also took place in Mumbai.
The event was designed to help the Packaging Industry to keep pace with the demand by introducing the latest in packaging technology, high speed machinery and equipments leading to substantial increase in productivity on the one hand and on the other, create a B2B platform for entrepreneurs CEOs, consultants, senior officials, decision makers for taking business decision makers for taking business decisions and forge business deals.”
