Inprodmash & Upakovka is quite an effective show.

Edible collagen and annular casings were also in demand.
We can say that the exhibition was productive for our company: we have acquired new customers, cooperation agreements, supply contracts, signed partnership agreements, expanded dealer network in regions.

 

 Igor Rozovetsky, Commercial Director, JSC "MATIMEKS-Ukraine"

And next year, as before, we will be taking part in it.

"World Meat Technologies" Magazine № 10, 2010

Traditionally "INPRODMASH & UPAKOVKA" food machinery construction and packaging exhibition which was held in International exhibition centre on Brovarskyy avenue in Kyiv, has become the most popular place for making contracts and defining the tendencies of further development. This exhibition is considered to be the most representative and exhibitory event in food machinery construction and packaging sphere in our country.

A significant thing is that 70% exhibitors have been regular participants of "INPRODMASH & UPAKOVKA" for more than 10 years.

Comments of the participants about the exhibition 2009:

Marcyn Bogush, Director of the RDW sales department, "Schaller" Company
"I have a very positive attitude towards the exhibition, though I thought less people will be present. It should be mentioned that the quality of projects improved. The quality of preparation also improved because we are constantly afraid of something. That means that the results will be more convincing.
I liked the mood of my colleagues: cheerful, optimistic, good. As of the exposition of "Schaller" company, it is the first time when we participated without any equipment. Is there any sense in displaying equipment that everybody knows? If the manufacturer wants to demonstrate equipment, he should show it in operation – on the plant, but nor at the stand.

A lot of new ingredients and recipes were shown, but little equipment. Time changes everything and any exhibition brings positive results."

 

Liubov Trohimchuk, "FOODSERVICE" DV
"Of course, our reply on the question of "participation or nonparticipation" was affirmative. Surely, it is better to visit all the plants and discuss the nuances of cooperation on the spot, but sometimes we cannot do so. At the exhibition we met many representatives of different enterprises. That is why we expect good results and productivity. We, as food additives manufacturers, are glad to see our colleagues here".

According to" Miasnoye Delo" magazine (№ 9/2009)

 

Inprodmash & Upakovka – the best presentation of food industry

"…This year, more than 300 participants from 18 countries of the world took part in the Food Industry Week. A lot of participants offered the entire range of production services from development till packaging and provision of  after-sales services. The companies, which work only in the field of packaging and package technology solutions, participate in the exhibition. Recently, enterprises paid great attention to the hygiene of packaging equipment.  Producers of packaging equipment are moving in this direction and thus improving the quality of present technologies in terms of hygiene.

…Adjusting developed plans of programme to the market situation, producers have more time for development of new products and new facilities search. Actually, "Inprodmash & Upakovka "exhibition has become the informational place where enterprises can realize their plans for future. Nowadays, producers don’t have the opportunity to invest money into new equipment, but maybe it will become possible in a year. By the way, some exhibitors laid stress on the fact that the customer analyzes the correlation between price and quality before buying equipment. Nowadays, customers pay attention to the efficiency of invested funds but not to the prestige…"
