The sixth essay of printpack alger, the international trade fair dedicated to print technologies and packaging in Algeria, the Maghreb and West Africa, took place at the state-of-the-art Centre International de Conférences CIC in Algiers recently.
Jointly organised by fairtrade and Messe Düsseldorf, and supported by the world's leading trade fair drupa, this year’s essay of the event, which occurs every four years, took place over three days.
Since its previous edition which took place in Düsseldorf, Germany, attracted 2,60,165 visitors from 183 countries and witnessed the participation of 1,828 exhibitors from 54 countries, printpack alger has showing positive growth.
There were exhibitors representing 12 countries (namely Algeria, China, Egypt, France, Germany, India, Italy, Korea, Poland, Taiwan, Tunisia and Turkey) at printpack alger 2018.
These included Amut, Bobst, Chespa, Daetwyler-Hell, Future Pack, GIC Graphique, Graphic Evolution, Konica Minolta Sensing, Maghreb Emballage, Miller Graphics, NBG Printographic Machinery, OMS Maghreb, Pakea, pbh, Rotoffset Corporation, SCS Automaberg, Solema, Tasdeer, Tecnomac, Weifang Donghang Graphic Technology, Wenzhou Allwell Machinery, Windmöller & Hölscher and Yutian Huatai Printing Machinery.
They presented technologies and solutions along the entire value chain, from pre-press/print, pre-media/multi-channel and post-press to converting and packaging to materials, equipment, services and infrastructure, tailored to the needs of North and West African customers.
This was a significant increase over the previous essay, at which 21 exhibitors from six countries showcased their offerings.
The basis for the positive growth of printpack alger is the increasingly interesting North and West African market as well as the high level of satisfaction with the previous event on both the exhibitor and visitor sides. The last visitor analysis showed that 94 per cent of trade visitors and 89 per cent of exhibitors were satisfied with printpack alger 2016. At the same time, 83 per cent of visitors were pleased with the positive business prospects, with each exhibitor praising the quality of the trade visitors and recommending the event.
North Africa is an attractive market for drupa. The previous edition of event was attended by over 2,200 trade visitors from Egypt, about 1,000 from Morocco, just under 950 from Tunisia and 860 from Algeria.
Messe Düsseldorf's international print technologies portfolio now includes events in six countries. In addition to the world’s leading trade fair drupa in Germany, Messe Düsseldorf and its subsidiaries also organise outstanding regional trade fairs in important growth markets. These include printpack alger in Algeria, indoprint in Indonesia, All in Print in China, IPAP in Iran and Pack Print International in Thailand.
In parallel with printpack alger, fairtrade and Messe Düsseldorf are organising plast alger, the fifth international trade fair for plastics and composites for Algeria, Maghreb and West Africa with over 200 exhibitors from 23 countries. Taken together, the printpack and plast alger 2018, with 250 exhibitors from 25 countries and the expected 4,500 trade visitors from over 20 countries, was one of the most important meeting places for the printing, paper, packaging and plastics industries in Africa.
The Algerian, Maghreb and West African markets for paper processing, printing technologies, finishing and packaging printing are on the upswing. Algeria is Africa’s third-largest importer of printing and paper technology and the largest importer of packaging technology.
According to VDMA, Algeria, Morocco and Tunisia have already imported print and paper technology worth 131 million Euro in 2016. In packaging technology, the amount even amounted to 340 million Euro.
In comparison, West Africa imported printing and paper technology worth 122 million Euro and 240 million Euro in packaging technology.
