In celebration of its milestone 30th anniversary, ProPak Asia 2023, is set to be more special than ever to enhance the manufacturing industry and overcome global challenges in a sustainable and socially responsible way. ProPak Asia 2023, will be held from June 14 to 17, 2023, in Halls 98-104 at Bitec Bangna in Bangkok.
Over the last three decades, the processing & psackaging industry has been developing quickly and adapting rapidly to manufacturing needs and ever-changing trends. ProPak Asia has stayed committed to offering key solutions, providing a solid support, and enabling businesses and professionals to connect and build strong networks with the common goal of accelerating the growth of the manufacturing industry.
As Asia’s number one processing and packaging technology event, ProPak Asia 2023, is highlighting its commitment to delivering a superior experience to the manufacturing industry with state-of-the-art technology and new features. Industrial professionals from around the world are eager to attend this event and over 42,000 sqm of Hall 98-104 has been fully occupied. There will be 11 international pavilions from countries such as Australia, China, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Korea, Singapore, Taiwan, Switzerland, and the United States.
Rungphech Chitanuwat, regional portfolio director - ASEAN, Informa Markets Thailand, the organiser of ProPak Asia 2023, said, “Marking the 30th anniversary this year, ProPak has experienced challenges and triggers for improvements before it achieves this milestone. At ProPak, we aim beyond an exhibition platform, thus being a connector that connects upstream business (processing, packaging) to the downstream business (entrepreneurs). What’s special this year is that we noticed changes in markets as cutting-edge technology emerged. This emergence indeed is a way to add value to products of M-SMEs and farmers who could improve their packaging and strengthen competitiveness of their creation. With this success, it contributes to steering the community to feed products to the industrial market. This year, we have collaborated with the Food Innovation and Packaging Center, Chiang Mai University, in a pilot project to acquire and introduce community products to the global arena. Not only that, L-SMEs will also experience Tech Solutions that will fulfil their business needs. The event is hence truly a one-stop place to visit.”
ProPak Asia 2023, is an even more exciting event with the strong support of organisations such as the Department of Industrial Promotion (DIPROM): Ministry of Industry, Thailand Institute of Scientific and Technology Research (TISTR): Ministry of Higher Education, Science, Research and Innovation, The Federation of Thai Industries (FTI), Food Science and Technology Association of Thailand (FoSTAT), Thai Food Processors Association (TFPA), Thai Beverage Industry Association(TBA), World Packaging Organisation (WPO), Australian Institute of Packaging (AIP), Thai Beverage Industry Association, and many more.
