Ahmedabad-based C. Trivedi, a manufacturer of converting and flexible packaging machinery, promoted its complete portfolio of products at the K 2022 show in Dusseldorf. The company manufactures standard and shaftless gravure presses, slitter and rewinding machines, laminators and extrusion coaters, among others. “This is our fifth K show and so we are a regular here. We are not demonstrating and running any machines but just met visitors, existing customers and potential customers. By being at K, we get to know where we stand on the global platform and how much we need to improve. Although generally we have had a great experience at all the previous editions of K, this time it was a little underwhelming due to a lot of logistics issues,” says Bharat Trivedi, partner at C. Trivedi.
Logistical issues at K
Trivedi said his company’s experience at K 2022 would have been much better had the organizers sorted out the logistical and labor issues. “There was a general shortage of manpower at the venue, which created a lot of problems when we were setting up our booth. I heard a lot of Indian companies wanted to display their machines but were not able to do so due to various logistical problems. A lot of officials were not able to get visa in time. At least, officials from the exhibiting countries should have been given visa on priority. A show of such scale should ensure these types of issues do not crop up. Yes, it is post-pandemic situation, but we expect something better from the organizers,” Trivedi concludes.
