One of the UK’s largest processing and packaging machinery exhibitions, the PPMA Show, is returning to the NEC in Birmingham, UK this September. This will prove the “ultimate event” for anyone involved in these industries to witness the latest processing and packaging machinery, robotics and industrial vision systems.

The three-day event taking place on 26-28 September will be showcasing the latest innovations to visitors from different sectors including food and beverages, pharmaceuticals, pet care and more.

In less than a month the show will open its door to thousands of visitors who will have the opportunity to hear from a range of speakers, who will be sharing their extensive industry knowledge and insights into future developments.

The content rich seminar programme topics will include food packaging innovation, the importance of sustainability, successful selling and how manufacturing is evolving to meet the needs of the processing and packaging sector.

The show will offer plenty of meeting opportunities with over 300 exhibitors representing more than 2600 brands. In addition, visitors can expect to see exciting new product launches and live demonstrations at the show, providing a chance to get a close look at the latest technologies and products shaping these markets.

“We are pleased to have once again such an array of exhibitors representing the full spectrum of the industry,” commented Scott McKenna, Group Exhibitors and Membership Manager at the PPMA Group. “These leading companies will be eager to demonstrate to visitors how they can improve their businesses with the latest cutting-edge technologies. This can help businesses stay ahead with the latest trends, improve efficiency, and make better use of resources.”

Some of the exhibitors taking part include Reiser; ULMA, who will be offering a variety of packaging machines and applications; Omori and Ishida Europe, showcasing complete weighing, packaging and inspection solutions for the food industry. Visitors will be able to take advantage of the exhibitor listing on the PPMA Show website to plan their visit.

The PPMA Show will offer a rare opportunity for visitors to see a complete production line in action from start to finish, from labelling, filling and packaging to processing, robotics, automation and industrial vision systems.

Those looking for new solutions will be impressed with a wide variety of cutting-edge innovations on display. By integrating new solutions into their own businesses, they can streamline processes, improve efficiency, increase productivity, which when all put together benefits businesses by saving time and money.
