PMMI, the Reston, Va., owner and producer of the PACK EXPO tradeshows, announced it will team with B2B media company BNP Media, the Troy, Mich.-based parent company of Refrigerated & Frozen Foods, to bring the latest iteration of the Food Safety Summit Resource Center to PACK EXPO Las Vegas 2013.
If market share numbers are indicative of trade show attendance, 27,000 packaging machinery buyers from food and beverage companies prowled the aisles at the 2012 PACK EXPO event, and they had the kind of checkbook balances that make equipment fabricators’ eyes water.
Like all food companies, refrigerated and frozen foods manufacturers rely on packaging to effectively deliver their products from the production line to the consumer’s plate.
The Packaging Machinery Manufacturers Institute, owner and producer of the PACK EXPO trade shows, said that with more than 26,000 attendees, 1,559 exhibitors and nearly 630,000 net square feet, PACK EXPO Las Vegas 2011 (Las Vegas Convention Center, Sept. 26-28) broke its event records on these and several other counts.
Conveyor supplier Dorner Manufacturing, Hartland, Wis., said Chief Operating Officer Rich Ryan was elected to the Packaging Machinery Manufacturers Institute (PMMI) board of directors.
