AUSPACK PLUS 2013 a Success

“As the proud owners of AUSPACK PLUS the APPMA are extremely pleased that the exhibition was an outstanding success. AUSPACK PLUS 2013 achieved not only a record number of exhibitors, but also the highest number of visitors in Sydney for over a decade. The most pleasing aspect of the show was the level of optimism by both exhibitors and visitors. In particular the positive feedback received from a majority of our exhibitors on the high level of enquiries and quality that they received at the show. We have already received a large number of expressions of interest to once again exhibit at AUSPACK PLUS 2013 in March in Melbourne,” Mr Dingley said.

In 2013 AUSPACK PLUS had the biggest offering with 308 exhibiting companies including 112 international exhibitors (including co-exhibitors) from 18 countries. Exhibitors occupied the largest space in history of AUSPACK in Sydney with display of almost 7300sqm.
