ORGANISERS of UKPackaging Expo have reported that a ‘surge’ of newly confirmed exhibitors has finalised the floor plan for the second edition of the show.
Taking place from November 10-11 at the Exhibition Centre Liverpool, the event is expected to bring together more than 120 suppliers and over 2,000 packaging industry professionals.
The final round of new exhibitors introduces technologies and sustainable solutions spanning fashion transit, high-volume automated print finishing, and custom digital production.
The new names joining the line-up include Twin Clothing, an apparel manufacturer that specialises in creating ethically sourced, custom-branded 100% cotton and canvas reusable tote bags. Also confirmed for Liverpool is Foxpak. Operating under the global SEE umbrella, Foxpak is a specialist in digital flexibles and high-barrier graphics packaging, manufacturing stand-up pouches, spouts, and sachets using ‘Generation Green’ recyclable paper and plastic films.
Jet Tech Group, the UK’s exclusive Ultimate Partner for Fujifilm, will also be in attendance. The business delivers end-to-end digital production presses, workflow software, and automated finishing systems. Other new exhibitors include technology business Cambridge Tech Park and B&R Moll, a third-generation manufacturer that designs automated folder-gluers, digital taping systems, and digital rotary die-cutters.
They join a line-up that features the likes of Unilever, Markem-Imaje, Konica Minolta, Berlin Packaging | BlueSky, BPF (British Plastics Federation), MPMA (Metal Packaging Manufacturers Association), RECOUP, Ravenwood Packaging, Viking Masek and Beyondly.
“Following a very successful launch last year, we are incredibly excited to bring our second edition to Liverpool’s fantastic exhibition centre,” said Mauricio Montes, commercial director of UKPackaging. “The deep technical expertise, sustainable credentials, diverse offerings and robust turnkey solutions brought forward by our exhibitors will enable procurement teams to resolve everything from complex automation challenges to the latest eco-compliance mandates under one roof.”
