HCM City hosting int'l expos on packaging technology

HCM City (VNA) – Vietnam’s economic hub – Ho Chi Minh City--is hosting two international expos on packaging technology and plastic and rubber equipment and materials, offering a bridge for local and foreign producers to get connected.

Propak Vietnam 2010 drew the participation of 168 businesses dealing with
packaging technologies from 20 countries and territories, including those
boasting cutting-edge technology in the field such as Germany, Italy, France, the
UK, the US and Japan.

Meanwhile, Plastic & Rubber Vietnam 2010 saw the convergence of 205 companies, 80
percent of which came from 21 countries and territories.

David Aitken, Managing Director of the Bangkok Exhibition Service Company and Bui
Thi Thuc Anh, Director of the VCCI Exhibition Organising Company – the companies
that jointly organised the expos, shared the view that the Vietnamese market is more
sustainable than the international market.

The officials said that seeing multi-billion USD investments in key sectors and
technological renewal in many businesses, they decided to hold the two expos in
Vietnam with the hope of helping local businesses further improve their production
capacity to contribute to the development of southeast Asian country’s
economy.-Enditem
