Editorial

Exhibitions and conferences for various products and services allow face to face interaction between buyers, but more importantly it gives them the opportunity to view the collective advance of products, machines, and technology at first hand.

During the International Poultry Expo 2008 in Atlanta, those attending were able to experience live demonstrations of the new CFS MultiFormer 600. The booth also arranged to showcase a collection of their new products by relaying a continuous video.

RPC says that their stand at Interpack 2008 will provide the ideal environment for the group's latest innovations in rigid plastics packaging.

Interpack takes place at Messe Dusseldorf, Germany, from April 24th to 30th.
