The PPMA, the UK’s annual showcase for processing and packaging machinery, has launched a new feature focusing the environment for the 2008 event, which takes place at the NEC, Birmingham from 30th September to 2nd October.
EcoTec is a new area that will be situated adjacent to the main machinery section of the show and will showcase companies who can offer assistance to manufacturers’ environmental challenges. To encourage participation organisers are offering special packages to first-time exhibitors taking part in this new section.
“The environment is a hugely influential factor today in all areas of processing and packaging,” commented PPMA ceo Chris Buxton. “The EcoTec feature therefore ideally complements the main focus of the PPMA Show. In addition, the purchasing and specifying responsibilities of many of our visitors are continuing to widen and we need to reflect this with a comprehensive range of exhibitors that will enable visitors to gain maximum benefit from their attendance.”
