25 Years And Counting! P
roPak Asia celebrates its 25th anniversary this year, and with it a remarkable growth of 23 percent from the 2016 edition. The show featured approximately 1,800 exhibitors from 45 countries and 17 international pavilions. With the consistent growth of the show, visitor numbers have been growing too. “The growth (of the show) this year is incredibly strong and honestly it surprised me because this year there is also Interpack and drinktec, two large international shows. The reorganisation of our floor plan definitely helped, as did the additional space,” commented Justin Pau, general manager of UBM BES. The show was reorganised into nine different zones this year, including: ProcessingTechAsia, PackagingTechAsia, DrinkTechAsia, PharmaTechAsia, Lab&TestAsia, MaterialsAsia, Coding,Marking&LabellingAsia, Coldchain,Logistics&Warehousi ngAsia, and PrinTech Asia. Each zone was colour coded to make distinctions between each and these give visitors an easier time in identifying which companies fall under which zone. A ‘ProPak Avenue’ was also created on the show floor that runs through the heart of the show, featuring industry-leading exhibitors on both sides, Mr Pau informed. “I deliberately kept all the aisles within the show straight and clear so that one can connect easily through the show.” New to the show this year was a confectionery pavilion. The rising per capita income in nearby countries and worldwide are making confectionery and chocolate products popular among consumers as they become increasingly able to afford them, Mr Pau said, and he expects that UBM BES will develop the confectionery sector in the show from hereon. The show also featured more events than before, and new events include two dedicated SME workshops that are being held today. The first is by the Ministry of Commerce (Thailand)’s Department of Industrial Promotion (DIP) that will address packaging for SMEs, and the second is conducted by FoSTAT and will discuss novel food, trends and processing. According to Mr Pau, both seminars are pre-registered and already have a sign-up rate of between 150 and 200 delegates each. Regarding visitor turnout, Mr Pau had high expectations because the company had done a lot this year to promote the show, and he was not disappointed. Visitor numbers increased 15 percent for day two over that in 2016, and 12 percent for day three. “We’ve also received excellent feedback about the overseas visitors coming from Cambodia, Malaysia, Philippines, Sri Lanka, and across ASEAN and the Asian region. So we’ve
been getting very strong feedback from the show floor, which I’m delighted about,” he said. There is still room for improvement though, and UBM BES will be working on and developing each sector within ProPak. “There is so much potential for each individual zone, so we can always improve,” Mr Pau said. In the 2018 edition the show will expand into hall 106, keeping the organisation of the floor plan and zones in mind. Now as UBM BES, visitors can look forward to an event better show next year. “There are very exciting times ahead. As a combined company now, we have greater reach throughout the region and the world, as our industries complement one another and there is business synergy between our events. Our events will become more focused, bigger, and deliver better business for our customers, and we’d like to say we’re stronger together,” Mr Pau stated. In concluding, Mr Pau would like to thank all of ProPak Asia’s supporters, exhibitors, participants and visitors for coming to the show this year and making it a tremendous success, and for helping it to grow into the show it is today.

2 Staying Ahead Of The Beverage Industry
High Performance Food-Safe Lubricants Keeps Your Production Lifeline Strong Optimal Performance
Enhanced Productivity
T
he Asia Drink Conference 2017 was successfully held yesterday, with an attendance of over 100 participants. In its 5th edition, the conference organised Low Maintenance by Eastern Trade Media and UBM BES boasted a lineCost up of accomplished speakers who addressed the latest trends in beverage manufacturing methods and strategies for marketing drink products. Noteworthy was the keynote speech by Ekaphol Pongstabhon, managing director of Tipco Foods PCL and the vice president of the Thai Beverage Industry Association, who spoke on health and wellness beverage trends in Southeast Asia. These are driven by country demographics, he said, as functional products with advanced supplements or that target senior nutrition are popular amongst Thai consumers with the growing ageing population; Vietnam comprises Asia’s youngest population so consumers there are focusing on organic and health supplement products; and Indonesia that has the largest working-age population is seeing consumers focusing on health and beauty with local herbal drinks or functional/ fortified products. The health and wellness trend is also being influenced by consumers’ age; Generation Y, X and Baby Boomer consumers are vastly different in what they are looking for. That said, similar demands by these three types include minimally processed products, reduced sugar, and healthBrands and convenience. Particular categories Product seeing growth today are sports nutrition, slimming & beauty, and healthy (pre/probiotic). Also to note was Bruno Kistner, Asia Roundtable on Food Innovation for Improved Nutrition (ARoFIIN) secretariat, who spoke on the economic impact of rising
obesity levels in Southeast Asia. The number of obese people is growing more rapidly in each of the ASEAN countries that in the US or the UK, he said. Early action is needed to curb this, especially with childhood obesity, as it is highly correlated with adult obesity and will have an impact on a country’s economy due to consequent rise in healthcare costs. There was also valuable input from global beverage business development consulting company MyDrink Beverages. Ieva Jureviciene, head of new product development, gave her insight on what the top three beverage categories to watch out for in the next five years in Asia are—hydration, brewed beverages, and smart drinks. Hydration refers to functional waters, plant waters, alkaline waters, sports drinks or hangover drinks. Coconut water and cactus water in particular are seeing a rise in consumption across the world, and hangover drinks too are becoming more popular among consumers in countries with a high consumption of alcohol such as South Korea. Under brewed beverages is tea, and RTD is fast growing throughout the Asia Pacific region. Innovation opportunities in this category lie in unique ingredients such as Guayusa, Yerba mate, or turmeric, or in the processing technology, e.g. hot- or cold-brewing. Smart drinks (e.g. meal replacement drinks) have seen a rise in launches and consumption over the past seven years from 2010, a trend that will continue through to 2020. Ingredients typically provide satiety such as fibre, and contain a good nutritional content of carbohydrates, fats and protein, as well as additional ingredients like natural herbal extracts.

10 Building Presence In The Region The Italian Pavilion at this year’s ProPak Asia is the largest, comprising of 40 companies in total and it has 10 new companies exhibiting for the first time at the show. This highlights the high level of interest and potential that Italian companies are seeing in the region. Gian Paolo Crasta, marketing and communications manager at the Italian Packaging Machinery Manufacturers Association (UCIMA) says all participating Italian companies are satisfied on both the number of visitors they have been receiving as well as the diversity of the visitors—which come from all across the Southeast Asian region. UCIMA represents Italian companies producing machines and components for the packaging industry PKA18 Ad A5 output OL.pdf

and has a total of 150 members, and welcomed ten new companies under its umbrella this year. The association helps these companies build their presence around the globe by putting them in trade shows where they have the opportunity to meet new clients, and it also provides market knowledge to assist these companies expand, especially in Southeast Asia. In line with other international companies not from the Southeast Asian region who are exhibiting at the event, the Italian companies are looking to expand their business in the region due to the strong market growth here. Some of the companies in the pavilion already have branches in Southeast Asia and the region 15:49
is the second largest market (after Europe) for the association’s members. More than a quarter (27 percent) of packaging machines used by companies globally are made by Italian companies who are part of the association, with more than 80 percent of the machines produced exported to countries around the world. Mr Crasta also mentioned that big industry players are focusing more on the automation of their machinery, as well as moving towards ecological sustainability.
Experience New Packaging
Both the food and non-food industries can benefit from Micro Laser Technology’s (MLT) MLT Laser Systems for the packaging industry. The MLT machines focus on industrial applications and operations, like laser perforation, scribing, laser marking and laser cutting, and are suitable for many materials, e.g. OPP, PE, PET and PVC composite foils, metallised foils, metals, wood, leather, paper or glass, suiting any customers’ needs. Laser perforation for so called modified-atmosphere packing (MAP), laser scribing or laser cutting are commonly used applications in the industry; fresh products remain fresh for longer, consumers can open their purchased products more easily, and product designs itself are enhanced such that they grab more customer attention. The latest examples of applications in the packaging industry are the replacement of tear strips and microwave openings, not to mention many other customer-specific applications in other branches of the industry. All the laser systems can be expanded individually. This gives customers flexibility and reliability for the future; after all, nobody knows at the moment exactly how the end-consumer products of tomorrow will look like.

11 Place To Learn Market Trends This is the second year the Danish pavilion is participating in the show. Soren Falck, international market adviser at the Confederation of Danish Industry enthused about the equipment and technologies that the nine participating Danish companies are showcasing at the event. The business confederation helps Danish companies with exhibiting their products and machinery in joint pavilions at exhibitions worldwide. There are four new Danish companies participating for the first time at this year’s ProPak Asia, along with five returning companies, bringing the total number of Danish companies at the pavilion to nine. “Most Danish companies are small and medium-sized enterprises, but all of them have the latest technologies for their processes, with most of the SMEs geared towards exports. More companies are also interested in expanding to Asia,� said Mr Falck. An example is Danish dairy manufacturer, Arla, which has opened a facility in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. The move made it easier for the company to be closer to their customers in Southeast Asia, and also provide better services for them. Around 60 percent of all products manufactured in Denmark are exported out of the country. Other than forging new business relationships, ProPak Asia is a great place to learn market trends in
Southeast Asia and how the companies can tailor products to the local markets. The middle class in the region is growing rapidly, which means more people are having a higher spending power. Consumers are also demanding higher standards in food quality and packaging, and companies are adapting by using Sleevematic, AISA which Showopens Dailyup 2017, machinery that are PROPAK more advanced the 152 x 251 mm, CC-en21-AZ056 05/17 market for Danish machines and technology.
Full Automation Is Key
Jacob White is far from a being a newcomer in Southeast Asia and has been operating in the region since 1985. The company provides cartoning machines to companies in the region, and over the years it has developed its portfolio and now it also manufactures case packers and product machines. The company also provides customers consultancy services to help them design their factories and increase their productivity. Mike Taylor, production director at Jacob White says that ProPak Asia is the key show in this region, and this is why the company was keen on participating in the show this year and he is excited to have the company return to the show in the coming years as well. In the past, many companies were using semi-automatic manual machines, but the future of manufacturing lies in full automation, and the company is fully on board on this technology. As labour prices continue to rise throughout the region, the practical solution would be to automate manufacturing processes, and this will also improve the competitiveness of companies in the market, and process efficiency across the production line.
