AUSPACK 2017 has had to expand beyond its original size to make way for a larger number of exhibitors next year.

It is expected to be the largest Sydney show in its history, having sold the allocation of exhibition space launched originally.

Auspack now needs to expand into the adjoining hall 3B.

The show, which will be held at Sydney Showground in Sydney Olympic Park, will include new event features, an all-inclusive educational program, awards, networking, and more.

Event director Luke Kasprzak said a number of new stands had been added, and Auspack was confident the space would sell out very quickly.

“Each show we grow the processing side of Auspack, and this will continue in 2017 with more exhibitors providing more processing machinery and solutions than ever before,” he said.

“Processing Day will be launched to highlight the latest and best the industry has to offer.

“Growth in this sector has certainly contributed to the continuous expansion of Auspack.”

Auspack helps visitors reach buyers from FMCG through to pharmaceutical, manufacturing to materials handling, cosmetics to chemicals, and automotive through to printing.
