The world's most important packaging industry trade fair has grown an extra limb, “components for processing and packaging”. During the first three days of interpack 2014, May 8 to 10, suppliers will be able to show their products and services at Düsseldorf’s City Hall (Stadthalle) in the Congress Center South (CCD Süd) of the Düsseldorf exhibition grounds. So while supplier companies may not exhibit at interpack itself under the fair’s eligibility criteria, they will get to make use of the exhibitor diversity of interpack and show off what they have to offer. And, with a short walk, exhibitors at interpack will be able to view their suppliers’ products and services.

To make participation as easy as possible for exhibitors at “components for processing and packaging”, stands are being offered in complete packages. These comprise stand construction, furnishings and power consumption in sizes of 9, 12 and 18 square metres.

Exhibitors at, and visitors to, interpack and “components for processing and packaging” can visit both fairs without having to buy a separate ticket.

If this has ignited your ambitions, you can register to exhibit here now www.packaging-components.com.
