ProPak Asia 2007, the 15th international processing and packaging technology exhibition and conference for the Asian region, has developed into becoming one of the most effective vehicles for buyers and sellers to meet in one location. The steady growth of the event since its move to Bangkok and its resurgence following the Asian crisis of the late 1990's provides a platform for future development.

ProPak Asia is the leading professional exhibition for all processing and packaging machinery, materials and related technology. It is strategically located in the heart of Southeast Asia's food, pharmaceuticals, beverage, cosmetic, general consumer and industrial manufacturing industries and attracts key buyers from throughout Asia.

Successful Business development increasingly depends upon concentrations of know-how in key markets. In the context of South East Asia the development of a regional hub for the processing and packaging industries has been evolving over many years. The launch of the ASEAN Free Trade Area has accelerated the positioning of Thailand as the natural centre of a market of 515 million people and a combined national income of $580 billion. With the strong likelihood of AFTA also encompassing China before 2010 Thailand's regional position can be expected to be further enhanced.
