Why Intelpack 2012?
There are a number of reasons why people should exhibit their products and technologies at Intelpack 2012, India's longest-running and most successful packaging exhibition.
Firstly, India is among the world's fastest-growing and most lucrative markets. It is growing at about 18 per cent per annum and its growth is valued at approximately $15 billion.
Intelpack 2012, along with its co-located shows Foodtek 2012 and Pharmapack 2012, will cover a total floor space of over 14,000 sq m. Thus in terms of the area covered and the number of exhibitors, it is India's largest packaging exhibition. The three shows constitute a strategic forum for the packaging industry.
It promises the best value for a visitor's investment and an unmatched networking opportunity for those within the packaging industry.
Sellers can directly sell their products and technologies for serious buyers, thus establishing a long-standing business relationship between the two. Several deals have been sealed in the past editions of this event, and it won't be any different at this year's exhibition.
