ADF & PCD: before the opening

Before the opening of ADF&PCD in Paris on the 18-19 January 2017, noteworthy points to remember…

ADF&PCD are two synergistic events organised in the same place, at the same time, which bring together various industries (cosmetics, perfumes, pharmaceutical products, food, automotive industry, ….) with a view to the transfer of ideas and technologies. The watchwords are innovation and sustainable development.

«As the year begins - comments Christelle Anya, ADF&PCD Director Paris and New-York - ADF&PCD are, without a doubt, the trade fair that reveals the innovations of the future and the ideal platform for launching new concepts or products. Their success hinges on the fact that visitors and suppliers come to take stock of projects and developments underway, strengthen relations, draw on technical advances and innovations/new products, and also to source, benchmark, keep up to date with technological developments and network».

In a 11 000 m2 exhibition hall, nearly 420 exhibitors, including over one hundred new exhibitors, and over 6 500 visitors (directors of packaging innovation, R&D, Development, Purchases and Marketing, advisory services, …) from 70 countries.

An exclusive conference programme and ever richer, more insightful discussions with the leading experts in the sector, and a new set of lectures on metal packagings (MCB).
