SPAIN - Barcelona food technology show BTA and international packaging exhibition Hispack, will co-locate again on 15-18 May 2012 at Fira de Barcelona's Gran Vía venue, home to EIBTM.
More than 45,000 visitors are expected to attend the triennial show, which comprise one of the largest business platforms in the European Union for the food and drinks manufacturing industry. More than 2,000 packing machinery, packaging and food technology companies are expected to attend.
BTA 2012 is organised by Alimentaria Exhibitions, a joint venture between Fira de Barcelona and Reed Exhibitions, and includes three shows encompassing the entire range of machinery and technological solutions for the food and drinks manufacturing industry. This edition of the event marks the debut of new chairman Llucià Casellas, MD of Roser Construcciones Mecánicas and president of business association Amec.
Hispack is organised by Fira de Barcelona in collaboration with Graphispack Asociación, and offers packing and packaging machinery and equipment, design solutions, point-of-sale (POS) advertising, new materials and manufacturing processes for packaging.
The first edition of Hispack and BTA proved that there was a strong synergy between the two sectors, according to an opinion poll conducted by the organisers at the 2009 edition.
