Date: 1/27/2009 - 1/30/2009

Location: ZAO Expocenter, Moscow

Russia’s premier trade fair for packaging technology continues to grow: at UPAKOVKA/UPAK ITALIA 2009 - 17th International Trade Fair Machinery and Equipment for the Manufacture of Packaging, Packaging Machinery, Confectionery Machinery, Packaging and Packaging Aids, Logistics – over 350 exhibitors will present their innovations on 86,100 square feet of net exhibit space. The event will take place from January 27 – 30, 2009 at the ZAO Expocenter in Moscow, Russia.
Jointly organized by Messe Düsseldorf in cooperation with its subsidiary Messe Düsseldorf Moscow OOO and the Italian event organizer Centrexpo, UPAKOVKA/UPAK ITALIA 2009 will feature exhibitors from more than 20 countries, including country group exhibits from Germany, France, Great Britain, Italy and Turkey.
The exhibits will be complemented by an ancillary program consisting of a lecture series by international associations, seminars by exhibiting companies and a technology forum dedicated especially to students. The “job market” in the business center will provide an additional meeting point for exhibitors and visitors.
Exhibitors at UPAKOVKA/UPAK ITALIA 2009 will benefit from the rising demand for packaging technology in Russia where the packaging sector is experiencing double-digit growth. According to a study by PricewaterhouseCoopers, the country still only has about 2% of the global packaging production capacity and therefore local suppliers are unable to meet the increased demand.
INTERPLASTICA 2009, International Trade Fair Plastics and Rubber, will again be held concurrently with UPAKOVKA/UPAK ITALIA.
