drink technology India, PackTech India, FoodPex India surpass all expectation

The fourth and so far the largest event consisting of drink technology India (dti), PackTech India and FoodPex India closed its doors at the Bombay Exhibition Centre in Mumbai, having seen nearly 12,100 visitors, an increase of more than 18 percent. A total of 298 exhibitors (2014: 231 exhibitors) presented the latest technologies and solutions for the Indian market on more than 40 percent more exhibition space. Exhibitors included international and domestic companies such as ACE Technologies, Bosch Packaging, Multivac, Manjushree, KHS and Krones. As a result, the exhibition trio set new records with regard to space, exhibitors and visitors in 2016.

This is the fourth time that drink technology India and PackTech India were held within the scope of a combined event. However, an additional element was added to the partnership in 2016: FoodPex India is a new exhibition that focuses on processing and packaging solid foods of all kinds. As a result, the three Indian exhibitions depict sectors that revolve around three main themes, i.e. packaging and related processes, beverage technology and liquid food, and food processing and packing-all under a single roof. The combination is a unique exhibition program for India and makes this event more attractive than ever. A fact verified by the numbers: A total of 298 exhibitors participated in the three-day event-146 in drink technology India, and 152 in International PackTech India/FoodPex India.

drink technology India is organized by Messe München India, a subsidiary of Messe München. International PackTech India and FoodPex India are organized by Messe Düsseldorf and its subsidiary Messe Düsseldorf India. Thanks to the VDMA Food Processing Machinery and Packaging Machinery Association, a proven partner to drinktec in Munich and to interpack in Düsseldorf was also involved in the three shows.

The next edition of the three Indian exhibitions will take place at the Bombay Convention & Exhibition Center in Mumbai from October 24 to 26, 2018-as a quartette together with IndiaPack, the leading trade fair for packaging materials and packaging-material production in India, which was previously organized by the Indian Institute of Packaging (IIP). In that quartette, International PackTech India will be replaced by its successor exhibition pacprocess India. In the future, IndiaPack and pacprocess will be developed, marketed and organized by Messe Düsseldorf and its Indian subsidiary. They will be held for the first time in New Delhi in October 2017.
