The city's New York skyline, Eiffel Tower and Venetian waterways may only be imitations, but Pack Expo and IEFP promise to bring the real thing to food professionals looking for innovative solutions amid the Las Vegas kitsch. IEFP will focus on the latest processing technologies in virtually all segments of food, including fruits and vegetables, beverage, meat, bakery/snack, dairy and beverage. The Packaging Machinery Manufacturers Institute (PMMI), producer and sponsor of PACK EXPO, says its event will highlight the latest developments in packaging and converting machinery, materials, packages and containers, controls, software, components and robotics and design systems. Exhibitors represent the entire spectrum of industries, including food, beverage, pharmaceutical, material handling, converting and nutraceuticals.
Together, the two events will blanket more than 400,000 square feet of space at the Sands Expo and Convention Center. At press time, more than 700 exhibitors were registered with PACK EXPO and more than 300 with IEFP. Exhibit hours for both shows are 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. daily.
To complement the two exhibits, Packaging Strategies, Inc. and PMMI will present Packaging Solutions Conference 2001 at the Sands Expo and Convention Center on Sept. 10-12
The three-day conference will focus on a wide range of packaging-related topics, including:
Make Sense of E-Manufacturing: A Roadmap for Manufacturers, presented by Keith Nobusch, President, Control Systems, Rockwell Automation.
Taking Production to the Max: Using Line Audits to achieve Optimum Thru-put, presented by Mark Garvey, president, Garvey Group.
Defining Functional Packaging Line Requirements to Match Technology and Business Needs, presented by Pat Helm, Senior Manager, Lockwood Greene Engineering.
Sessions will also address hot-fill PET beverage applications; ergonomics; X-ray technology for packaging line/production efficiencies; cans versus flexible pouches for retort applications; innovations in product coding; and innovative packaging design.
The following pages list exhibitors and booth numbers for IEFP. A list of Pack Expo exhibitors can be accessed at www.packexpo.com. Complete program details for Packaging Solutions Conference 2001 can also be accessed at the site.
