The Packaging Machinery Manufacturers Institute’s (PMMI) Pack Expo International 2013 is on schedule to be another record-setting event, with its Processing Zone, which hosts processing technologies for manufacturers in the beverage, dairy, baking and snack, and confectionery industries, as well as other vertical sectors, selling out as early as May.
“Since debuting at Pack Expo in 2010, the number of solutions providers exhibiting in the Processing Zone has increased by 42 percent,” said Jim Pittas, vice president of trade shows for PMMI, Reston, Va., in a statement. “This growth stems from the fact that food and beverage processors continue to take a unified approach to packaging and processing and seek opportunities to be connected to solutions for the entire manufacturing lines.”
