A firm, Propak West Africa, has pledged to reshape the future of packaging in West Africa during its forthcoming exhibition scheduled for next month.
According to the firm, the 12th edition of the exhibition will bring together more than 5,500 industry professionals for the three action-packed days of the event in Lagos.
“With over 250 global brands confirmed to exhibit, this year’s event is poised to be a major milestone for the region’s packaging, plastics, printing, and processing sectors,” it stated.
The exhibition will feature international and Nigerian exhibitors to showcase cutting-edge technologies and solutions, such as BBM Maschinenbau, Danfra Solutions, Krones AG, Milacron India, Neofyton, Piovan Group, Reifenhauser Blown Film, Sacmi, Snetor, Windmoeller, and Holscher, among other major international participants.
Nigerian firms, including Adeco Project Engineering, Ankan Group of Companies, Beaumont Industrial Services, E-One Machinery, JMG Ltd., Proxima, SBA Nigeria, Stav Ltd, and Veepee Group, also confirmed to showcase their innovations.
“This year’s edition will feature the highest number of live machinery demonstrations ever seen at the event. Attendees will have the opportunity to witness over 15 machines in action, ranging from injection and blow mould machines to sachet packaging and weighing systems, some making their debut in the West African market,” the firm stated.
Meanwhile, alongside the bustling exhibition floor, a comprehensive conference programme will run throughout the event, offering keynotes, panel and technical sessions designed to inform and inspire.
The opening day of the event will focus on “Shaping the Future of Packaging in West Africa,” while the final day will explore “Access to Finance for Industrial Growth.”
Thought leaders from top firms, such as Guinness Nigeria, Unilever Nigeria Plc., UAC Foods, and FrieslandCampina, are set to speak during the sessions.
However, the organisers have urged interested participants to register early to stay updated on all developments and secure their place at the gathering.
