From 21 - 23 March 2017, ICE Europe will celebrate its jubilee at the Munich Trade Fair Centre, Germany. For the 10th time, the World’s Leading Converting Exhibition presents technological innovations and the latest manufacturing trends for the conversion of flexible, web-based materials, such as paper, film, foil and nonwovens. The 2017 show will focus on the efficient and sustainable conversion of premium quality flexible materials, as well as on the diversification of converting techniques in the context of automation and digitisation. ICE Europe 2015 added another record to the show’s long-standing success story, with a total of 7,040 visitors from 71 countries. One of the highlights at this year’s show will be the presentation of the ICE Europe 2017 Jubilee Awards in four categories. The free Show Preview and Visitor Guide in print are ready to order from www.ice-x.com/europe, where the Show Preview is also available in a new online format. Online Tickets for the exhibition will go on sale from mid-January.
ˮThe 10th edition of ICE Europe will provide visitors with the latest solutions for the sustainable conversion of web-based materials; with an impressive range of live demonstration of new machines and systems at the stands“, explains Liljana Goszdziewski, Show Director of ICE Europe, on behalf of the organisers, Mack Brooks Exhibitions. “Innovative manufacturing processes are of highest relevance for experts in the converting industry, where there is currently a strong demand for new, eco-friendly materials and an increasingly elaborate product design. We are, once again, looking forward to welcoming top industry professionals who visit the World’s Leading Converting Exhibition to source products and information.”
