Every square metre of the 51,380 m2 exhibition space has been fully booked for Asia’s largest packaging exhibition.
At the next Tokyo Pack, 7-10 October, more than 650 companies will put their products and services on show. “With a total of 654 companies committed to exhibiting this year, we have grown our exhibitor number by more than 7% from the 2012 edition” said Yoichi Sonoyama, secretary general of the Tokyo Pack 2014 secretariat. “In addition, of the total number of companies on show, a total of 99 are entirely new exhibitors."
“This is a demonstration of companies’ belief that Tokyo Pack 2014 is the premier packaging exhibition in Asia, and the venue for them to showcase advanced packaging technologies, solutions and gain new business opportunities.”
Tokyo Pack launched in 1966 and is owned and operated directly by the Japan Packaging Institute (JPI). The exhibition is held every two years and its 2,600 booths representing 654 companies in the 51,380m2 exhibition space, attract more than 70,000 visitors from inside Japan and overseas.
