Since 2010, the Emballage and Mautention tradeshows have been held jointly two years in Paris. The two events are now merging in a single brand: All4Pack Paris. The event will be held at Paris-Nord Villepinte exhibition centre from 14 to 17 of November, 2016.

According to the organisers, the merger aims at addressing the growing integration of the full production chain. “Buyers on the market have moved towards an inter-related purchasing strategy covering the sector’s four key business lines: Packaging, Processing, Printing and Handling. From raw materials to intralogistics and shipping, the whole sector is now viewed as a single ‘packaging’ production chain,” explains Comexposium.

All4Pack Paris also confirms its international ambitions, with a continued focus on the Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA) area, which presents the highest potential for the majority of its exhibitors. The 2016 edition will thus put Africa under the spotlights with the participation of major contractors and official delegations.

The organizers expect the event to welcome about 1,600 exhibitors (50% international) from the entire packaging, processing, printing and handling industries,. Approximately 98,000 professionals are expected, including 35% from abroad.
