Greetings from the Chairman, JAPAN PACK 2011 Executive Committee
We offer our prayers for all those who lost their lives in the Great East Japan Earthquake on March 11 and sincerely hope for earliest possible rehabilitation and reconstruction of the people in the area affected by the calamity.
Japan Packaging Machinery Manufacturers Association (JPMA) produce the Japan International Packaging Machinery Show (better known as “JAPAN PACK 2011”) , the biggest exhibition in this industry throughout Asia, for 4 days from Tuesday October 18 through Friday 21 this year at the “Tokyo Big Sight”.
Dwindling birthrate and an aging population emerging in our country affect the traditional custom and lifestyle habit, and the users’ requirements to the packaging and food-processing machinery industries are increasingly diversified, especially in respect of responsiveness to security and safety of food; environment; safeguarding and hygienic characteristics of machinery, for which our industries are striving for research and development at all times.
The exhibitors at the JAPAN PACK 2011 are determined to introduce to the visitors the new products and technologies that cannot be seen everywhere else and are the fruits of the efforts developed by the industries of packaging, food-processing, related machines, and materials.
The exhibit floor is basically divided, around the packaging machines, by the type of exhibits, such as food-processing machines, related components, packaging materials and robotics, so as to make the visitors feel easier to look for and look on the exhibits depending on their individual objectives. In addition, lecture or exhibitors’ presentation meetings, and packaging solution clinic, etc. are organized in an effort to serve the visitors as the “platform for various packaging solutions” and they can make the most of this showcase.
It is our intention to make the “JAPAN QUALITY” of the Japanese manufacturers known to the people both inside and outside the country at this time when Japanese industries are facing unprecedented difficulties after the attack of Great East Japan Earthquake, and eventually serve the people in the quake-affected areas in their efforts for restoration and reconstruction. We wish you will take the trouble of paying a visit to this event in expectation of good result.
