More than 5,100 high-level attendees with buying power ensured a successful Philadelphia return for the sophomore edition of PACK EXPO East (Feb. 27-March 1, Pennsylvania Convention Center) produced by PMMI, The Association for Packaging and Processing Technologies.

The three-day event featured 375 exhibiting companies, spanned over 80,000 net square feet and provided the opportunity for Northeast attendees to exchange ideas with leading packaging and processing suppliers. Its prime Philadelphia location placed PACK EXPO East within 200 miles of one-third of U.S. consumer packaged goods companies (CPGs), including arguably the country’s largest concentration of life science and pharmaceutical businesses. Attendees and exhibitors alike touted the ease of driving or using public transportation as one of the many advantages of the Philadelphia location.

“We are very excited about the future of PACK EXPO East,” says Jim Pittas, senior vice president, PMMI. “We are gaining momentum on this new show with both attendees and exhibitors. Walking the show floor, it was obvious that attendees are talking about the challenges they are facing and exhibitors are providing them with the solutions they are looking for. Moving the show later in the calendar year was very well received by the industry.”

This regional event provided attendees with easy access to PACK EXPO, offering exhibitors and attendees quality time to gain an understanding of each other’s operations and the challenges facing both sides of the table. Attendees enjoyed seeing new technologies, innovations and working machinery on the show floor. Exhibitors were pleased with the quality of leads they brought in during the show.
