Exhibitors’ excitement for ProPak India 2021
Our team got in touch with a few companies and asked for their opinions about ProPak India and noticed their excitement. As this event is taking place after a two-year break, the exhibitors are not expecting many visitors due to Covid-19 restrictions as they know people are still avoiding gatherings due to the pandemic.
In a conversation with Packaging South Asia Heena Mistry from Control Print added, “Control Print is regularly participating in ProPak India, and we are very excited about the event. This is the first event happening after Covid, and we are showing industrial printing machines based on coding. Our experience at ProPak was good in 2019, and we expect this time will also be good.”
Sachin Joshi from Sacmi shared his excitement, “This is the first time that we are exhibiting at ProPak India, and we will be displaying our samples and machinery for beverages. We have updated our machinery during the Covid-19 crisis, which we are going to showcase to our customers. Yes, we are excited for this trade show but not expecting much of a crowd. We will also be surveying and networking at the event. We are keen to know about other manufacturers who will be exhibiting their machinery at this event.”
