LUXE PACK MONACO 2019

LUXE PACK MONACO, a business exhibition that is more international than ever! Press release November 8th, 2019 https://www.luxepackmonaco.com/app/uploads/2020/03/pr-post-show_luxe-pack-monaco-2019_nov8th.pdf The 33rd LUXE PACK MONACO ended on 2 October on a more international note than ever with 52% international visitors from 98 countries – an increase of 14% against 2018 – which firmly positions the show worldwide, and the quality of the contacts made (about 80% decision-maker profiles) and the business done were two major criteria very much appreciated by exhibitors. In addition, the conferences and debates were attended by 2,000 people which is a record for these three intense days. The announcements unveiled on the first day of the LUXE PACK MONACO exhibition (innovations, group strategies, launches) undeniably offer a unique view of the market and trends for packaging professionals. An essential trip for the 9,240 visitors… Stronger international status 98 countries visited the exhibition this year, up 14% against 2018. Attendance from the Middle East grew by 20% with visitors from Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, the United Arab Emirates, Kuwait, Qatar, and the Sultanate of Oman. New visitors made the trip from Ghana, Gambia, Gabon, Cambodia, and the Philippines. Visitors from some European countries, such as Switzerland, Belgium, Finland and Romania, are on the rise as are those from the United States, China, Japan, India, and South Korea.   Sustainable development is no longer optional This core theme for many years seems to have overtaken all other policies at the exhibition this year. Sustainable development was present everywhere on the booths: innovations, research themes, CSR commitments, etc., and some areas seemed more predominant, such as innovative materials for savings at source, recyclability and the concern for mono-materials or separability of parts, and refill solutions that meet the quality requirements of brands. The session dedicated to sustainable development attracted a record audience of over 550 people!
