roPak Asia 2011 returns bigger than ever with its 19th edition this year. The show features 1,125 exhibitors from 40 countries presenting more than 3,200 machines and products, a jump from the 908 participants of last year. David Aiken, MD of Bangkok Exhibition Services (BES), the organiser of the show, believes that under the concept of ‘Go Clean Go Green’, “visitors will be impressed by the comprehensive range of products on display from renowned international brands that are committed to helping business in Asia improve their cost control, energy efficiency and environmental management without affecting production performance and profitability”. Speaking at the opening ceremony, he said that the event has grown to its largest occupancy in its history, and with 95 percent of the machineries on display from international participants, it will hopefully help fuel the growth of Thai exports by offering advanced packaging solutions. Highlights of the show include the colocation of Eco5 that features green technology that specifically focuses on energy and production efficiency in the food, beverage and pharmaceutical manufacturing sectors. The conference, seminar and workshop programmes cover a wide scope, from food science and materials developments to global production and technology trends.

InnovatIon Is key to eConoMy The 12th ASEAN Food Conference marks the return of this idea exchange platform

to Thailand after a 23-year absence. This biennial event was last held in this country in 1988. Through the theme of ‘Food Innovation: Key To Creative Economy’, the organisers seek to highlight significant developments in research and innovations in food science and technology, with an emphasis on food products innovation. The conference will feature a series of presentations and discussions in plenary, concurrent and poster sessions, informal gatherings, competitions and exhibitions. Darunee Edwards, president of Food Science and Technology Association of Thailand (FoSTAT), urges everyone to listen to the advices given by the expert speakers present, as the “implementation of the new knowledge will help improve existing practices and increase competitiveness for healthy and wealthy society”. Besides the conferences, there are assemblies of international experts and sector specialists and professionals in dedicated zones of PharmaTech Asia 2011, DrinkTech Asia 2011 and PlasTech Asia 2011. A record 19 international and regional pavilions including China, Taiwan, Japan, Korea, Singapore, France, US, Germany, Bavaria and UK is also present. This year marks the debut of exhibitors from India, Hong Kong, Spain, Belgium, Holland, Italy, Denmark, Australia, UAE, Czech Republic, Sweden and Canada. By mitigating the integration of the exhibition’s theme of ‘Go Clean Go Green’, a comprehensive showcase of eco industrial

development is available to reflect Asia’s growing focus on environmental issues.

BelIeve In thaIland CaMpaIGn Increasing productivity of Thailand’s exhibition sector and paving the way for the country to become a preferred and recognised destination in Asia for exhibitors and visitors are the objectives of Thailand Convention & Exhibition Bureau (TCEB). Exhibition director, Supawan Teerarat, elaborated that ProPak Asia 2011 was chosen to be part of the ‘Believe In Thailand’ campaign, which aims to drive and develop the country’s domestic meetings, incentives, conferencing and exhibitions (MICE) industry as part of the government’s policy, due to its success and scale. An estimated sale of over US$650 million is expected to be negotiated during the four-day event. As deputy minister of commerce Alongkorn Ponlaboot noted, the event enables the region’s manufacturers to access world leading technology, ensuring the highest possible standards of production are achieved in the country’s expanding industry. “The exhibition is not just a mere demonstration of packaging and processing technology, but a crucial meeting point for knowledge exchange and business networking,” says Mr Aitken. The show opens daily from 10 am to 6 pm, and will continue until June 18,2011, at Halls 101-104 of BITEC, Bangkok, Thailand. n
