Italian show organiser Ipack-Ima is co-operating with the East African Community (EAC), the United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO) to stage East Africa’s first processing and packaging event in Nairobi, Kenya, in September 2014.
Ipack-Ima CEO Dr Guido Corbella says: “The fact that UNIDO and EAC have chosen Ipack-Ima as their partner in this ambitious project is the result of our continuous commitment to promoting processing and packaging technologies. The planned exhibition will be the first event of its kind to bring to the EAC region processing and packaging technologies best suited to the needs of the region.”
Dr Richard Sezibera, Director General of UNIDO, adds: “We anticipate that a good number of companies, including SMEs will have the opportunity to access appropriate packaging and processing technologies”.
