The huge participation of international buyers and visitors as well as the significant media coverage of our event gives us extreme satisfaction. We intend to grow this show rapidly to be the largest regional show in 2015 with the addition of 2 new key profiles (OEM & Packaging). In addition, the co-organisation of this show in 2015 with the Federation of Thai Industries as well as IMPACT Exhibition Management (who is also the show manager) highlights the full local support for this show,” said David Bondi, Chief Operating Officer at Informa Exhibitions Asia.
