ASEAN TRADE SHOW Corrugated industry in focus
A group of industry associations and a Thai government agency have jointly introduced the 2nd edition of the CCE Southeast Asia - Thailand 2018 trade show, focusing the Thai Corrugated Packaging industry.
The event will run concurrently with ICE Southeast Asia from September 5-7 at the Bangkok International Trade and Exhibition Centre (BITEC), Bangna, and will highlight the latest machines and equipment from leading manufacturers in Asean countries, offering a showcase of direct-to-user solutions.
The four organisations comprising the CCE Southeast Asia partnership are: Thai Corrugated Packaging Association, the Thai Pulp and Paper Industries Association, the Thai Screen Printing & Graphic Imaging Association, and the Thailand Convention & Exhibition Bureau (TCEB).
Kanokwara Anutarawatr, Senior Manager of Mack Brooks Exhibitions Asia Ltd, said corrugated packaging industries in Asean countries must be able to meet growing local demand and rising customer numbers.
With a combined population of 620 million, mostly of working age, Asean countries have experienced a steady rise in consumer demand, a key factor driving national economic growth levels in the region. It has led to the expansion of consumer goods and packaging markets and the recent innovations in the corrugated packaging industry, he said.
