PackMach Asia Expo 2020 now online
- Online exhibition and conference platform in December 9-11, 2020
- Next edition on site in Mumbai: October 20–22, 2021
Due to the rampant spread of COVID-19 in the country and the consequent travel restrictions imposed by the Government of India, show organizer Messe Muenchen India has announced the postponement of the Mumbai edition of drink technology India to October 20–22, 2021. To match the requirements of business networking an online exhibition and conference platform is scheduled for December 9-11, 2020.
The trade fair on site was also scheduled from December 09-11, 2020 at Bombay Exhibition Center, Mumbai. However, considering the safety of the stakeholders, exhibitors and visitors, the show organizers have rescheduled the trade fairs. The decision of postponement is also based on industry feedback received through the extensive survey conducted by the organizer.
Mr. Bhupinder Singh, CEO, Messe Muenchen India explained, “Owing to the restrictions enforced by the Government of India on travel and mass-gatherings, December is no longer a viable option to organize drink technology India.” Mr. Singh added that, “Health and safety of everyone involved in the trade fairs is our prime concern. For the upcoming edition we will strictly follow government directives and standard operating procedures to ensure a safe environment to conduct business at our trade fairs. To match the requirements of business networking of our customers we realize an online exhibition and conference platform at the originally scheduled date for December 9-11, 2020.”
Dr. Reinhard Pfeiffer, Deputy Chairman of the Board, Messe München GmbH also commented on the postponement, “In view of the current situation in India, rescheduling the trade fair is a sound decision.
Mr. Samir Limaye, President, The Institute of Packaging Machinery Manufacturers of India, shared a similar thought, “Keeping in mind the current situation, we support the decision of the Messe Muenchen India in keeping all our stakeholders safe hence, this is a right decision to postpone the launch event to October 2021. This will give us considerable amount of time & ensure we gather industry support to make the first edition of PackMach Asia Expo a success under better circumstances”.
