East Afripack set for September 2014

PREPARATIONS are well underway for East Afripack 2014 in September, organizer IPACK-IMA Spa said. The leading exhibition for the Packaging, Processing and Converting industry in the East Africa Community (EAC) takes place from September 9-12 in Nairobi, Kenya, at the Kenyatta International Conference Centre.

The EAC, composed of Kenya, Burundi, Ethiopia, Rwanda, Somalia, Tanzania and Uganda, is in full support of East Afripack. The event enjoys the patronage of the UN Agency for Industrial Development (UNIDO) and Kenya’s Ministry of Industrialization and Enterprise Development (MOIED).

Once more East Afripack 2014 proves to be a unique, not-to-miss opportunity for any company planning to approach or further develop its business in this market.

IPACK-IMA has drawn up a detailed profile of the target industries in the region, which includes the area’s most interesting business communities: Grain-Based Food, Vegetable & Fruit Beverages, Dairy, Flowers, Pharmaceutical & Beauty, Retailers & Co-Packers, Package Printers, Package Manufacturers, and Trade Associations & Services.

East Afripack will be able to offer its exhibitors a database of about 6,000 high-profile potential visitors. The database contains the most important companies in the region, including multinationals, major local companies, SMEs and trade associations.

This unprecedented, meticulous mapping of a constantly and rapidly growing market allows the organizers to secure for all East Afripack 2014 exhibitors an enormous pool of visitors profiled based both on quantitative and qualitative criteria. This is crucial to create the perfect conditions for business development in this highly promising region, home to over 230 million potential consumers.
