And the Results Keep Getting Better PACK EXPO International 2010 in Chicago Was One Powerful Show Nearly 44,000 attendees connected with more than 1,800 exhibitors; and those exhibitors saw real results. Processing gained a spotlight so we could deliver exciting solutions like never before, across the line. Attendance held strong as the show offered valuable new features such as — The Processing Zone, Confectionery Pavilion, and The Brand Zone with “Project 2020: The Consumer Experience.” Industry partnerships — with the Grocery Manufacturers Association (GMA), Institute of Packaging Professionals (IoPP) and The Packaging Association (PAC) — provided insights to conference participants. Sessions covered the entire spectrum of issues from food safety to sustainability. Manufacturers brought their latest innovations and set the trends with: • Technologies to increase productivity and simplify controls • Upgraded service programs offering remote diagnostics and faster changeover • Sustainability efforts including renewable materials, recycled content, source reduction, waste minimization and sustainable machines
