After the huge success of the launch event in March last year, the industry sector looks forward to CCE International 2015.“We are receiving a large number of exhibitor enquiries for the 2015 event; almost all of the total stand space of the previous event has already been reserved. For the forthcoming event we are therefore expecting a considerable increase in exhibition space,” says Nicola Hamann, Exhibition Director CCE International, on behalf of the organisers, Mack Brooks Exhibitions.
Some 70 companies have already reserved stand space at CCE International 2015. A great majority are returning exhibitors, but there are also new companies on the current exhibitor list. Major exhibitor countries to date are Germany, Italy, the USA, the Netherlands and Great Britain. “The fact that exhibiting companies are booking larger stand spaces for the coming event proves that they were highly satisfied with last year’s launch show and are now planning to bring even more machines.”
With a total of 110 exhibitors on a net exhibition space of 3,300 m2 and more than 2,000 visitors from all over the world, the launch of CCE International in 2013 was a complete success. The event is designed to offer suppliers and manufacturers of raw materials, machines, equipment and services for the production and conversion of corrugated and cartonboard a targeted platform in Europe to showcase their products and systems to corrugated and folding carton converters as well as packaging designers and specifiers.
