2017

THE WORLD OF PACKAGING 2017

INTRODUCTION

The second edition of Logistics & Distribution (26 & 27 April 2017) proved the advantages of the show format. «The Swiss platform for intralogistics, material handling, distribution and e-logistics was well-received by the public. This encourages us to further expand this platform,» concludes Marcus Hapig, Easyfairs Exhibition Manager.

Likewise the area of packaging has grown in importance to the market, as demonstrated by the co-located packaging shows Empack, Packaging Innovations and Label&Print. Topics such as packaging design and brand management therefore warrant even greater priority in the upcoming year. In total, 263 exhibitors and over 4700 visitors came together to meet at this year’s logistics and packaging shows.

Tobias Sommer, Managing Director, Prodinger Verpackung: «Empack is an important platform, both for marketing and customer care as well as for making new contacts. Two days of concentrated business is ideal for us. And we also liked the combination with Logistics & Distribution. It brought us new visitors to the stand. We conducted good discussions and had some interesting inquiries. In this respect, our investment in the show has paid off.»

Joël Buchs, Packaging Division, Storopack Schweiz AG: «The quality of the visitors was very good; there could have been even more of them! Empack is the only show in Switzerland that we exhibit at, because the Swiss market is important.»

This year, there was a lot going on, what with the excellent discussions and of course the first Swiss Packaging Award ceremony.

For us, the show is a perfect event!»

EXHIBITOR TESTIMONIALSHeinz Stocker, Sales Manager / Authorized Signatory, Bachmann Forming AG: «It’s easy to find your way around this compact show. We had a lot of customer contact, including some really good inquiries - especially from the German-speaking region. Our Swiss customers are very important to us. At Packaging Innovations, we get to meet all the key players.»

Iris Brugger, Director of Marketing & Communication, Model AG: «For us, Packaging Innovations went beautifully. We got a lot of very good feedback from the many visitors to our stand. And two appearances by the legendary marketer Lars Wallentin served as an additional draw for further visitors. Of course, we’re also proud of the honours we received from the Swiss Packaging Award and have celebrated that! It’s perfect that the award ceremony is now being held at Packaging Innovations. The show is an important touchpoint in our marketing mix and a good opportunity for getting in touch with customers and prospects.»

Pascal Baumgartner, Chief Sales Officer and Marion Würthele, Head of Inside Sales, Labels & Flexible Packaging Division, Permapack AG: «The Swiss Packaging Award ceremony was a real highlight at Packaging Innovations. We felt that it was very successfully combined with the exhibition. We proudly displayed our award at our stand, which sparked a lot of discussions with customers. In general, Packaging Innovations was a good platform for making customer contacts in Zurich. It was a successful show for us. The quality is spot-on, and that’s what’s essential to us»

Eljesa Cakolli-Kurtishi, Consultation / Sales, Labelpack: «Our stand was well-attended. Among the many interested parties there were also quite a few potential new customers. The personal contact with our customers is very important. And the show’s two-days-a-year rhythm is perfect for us. We’ll be back again next time.»

Mirko Ackermann, CS / IB / Marketing Manager, Videojet Technologies Suisse GmbH:«Label&Print is an integral part of our annual planning. This show brings us a lot of trade visitors, takes place at a good time, doesn’t take too long and is within our budget!»

Mirko Egli, Head of Marketing, CCL Label AG: «Label&Print is the only show if its kind in Switzerland, which is an important market for us. Just to be seen and heard as one of the leading manufacturers of labels, we’ve got to be represented here! We had many good discussions. And we think that integrating the Swiss Packaging Award ceremony into the show was ideal. Our award in the Convenience category was wonderful compensation for our work. This way, we were able to show our product with the Rigid Reclose Label solution right at the exhibition and draw the attention of many potential customers.»

Volker Bluhm, Executive Manager, Bluhm Systeme GmbH:«We appreciate the local context of Label&Print and the short duration. When you focus a show down to just two exhibition days, you get really intensive and valuable discussions with an expert audience.»
