Auspack has announced it will join a network which helps processing and packaging trade shows share information and experiences.

Called The Network, the initiative offers to help members build relationships and share their experiences of major international events.
 
Since its launch in April, The Network has already brought together 11 shows in seven countries, and more exhibitions are due to follow.
 
According to organisers, Auspack opted to join The Network to expand its international reach and encourage the sharing of helpful information with others like them.

Auspack 2017, run by Exhibitions & Trade Fairs, will open its doors at the Sydney Showground from 7-11 March. Over 7000 buyers are expected to attend the event, where the focus will be on the entire processing and packaging value chain.
