"The order of the day is competitiveness and because of this Brazilian companies are modernizing. This edition of BRASILPACK is better than the last one; and the next should produce even more positive results. It’s quite natural for this to happen – every year things tend to get better", Merheg Cachum, President of Abiplast.

 

"The coming together of the whole production chain of the packaging and printing sectors guaranteed the success of this, the first edition of the International Packaging, Printing and Logistics Week, because it meant that the public that was interested in these segments could gain time by finding out about everything that was new in a single event", Jayme M. Bydlowski, Abimaq’s Director of Trade Fairs.

 

 

"In its attempt to keep up with growing demand the packaging industry started 2008 with its industrial activity booming. Given this need the fair contributed because it brought together business-people from the different links in this production chain to present, discuss and analyse the technology and solutions that are available in our market", Luciana Pelegrino, executive director of Abre.

 

 

"On balance, the fair was a very positive event. Many of those exhibiting that had not yet had any experience of business fairs were hoping for immediate results. We know that that’s not always possible but what surprised me was the fact that some companies got these results during the week", Luiz Fernando Pereira, director of Greenfield, the company that organises the EMBALA INOVAÇÂO Saloon in partnership with Reed Exhibitions Alcantara Machado.

 

"By the penultimate day of the fair most of the exhibitors were already wanting to reserve their place in the 2010 edition not to lose the opportunity of guaranteeing a good space. We left the fair with deals already closed for space in the 2010 edition", Carlos Ribeiro de Paiva, Vice-president of Abflexo/FTA-Brasil.

"The fair is acquiring its own personality. The format proposed by Reed Alcantara was very interesting. Business-people who have interests in different sectors were able to visit all of them in a single environment", Luiz Caropreso, Marketing Manager from Abigraf.

"The aim is to transform this event into the world’s biggest packaging fair. We’re very keen to have events that are truly directed at business and that are professional, like Brasilplast", Rogério Mani, President of Abief (Brazilian Association of Flexible Packaging).

 

 

"We sold 14 machines, worth a total of US$ 1.2 million, with the prospect of generating other business over the next few months. This new concept, which brings together the whole production chain in a single event, is very interesting", Maristela Simões de Miranda, Sales Director of Maqplas and President of the Machinery and Accessories’ Sector Chamber for the Plastics Industry (Abimaq).

 

 

"We managed to sell five machines, which resulted in business of nearly R$ 4 million, involving both domestic and foreign buyers. In addition to the business we did during the event we have a forecast of selling another R$ 10 million over the next few weeks", Rodrigo Portes, General manager, Sales, Carnevalli.

 

 

"Brasilpack was always an interesting event for Selovac. During the fair we see a good number of quality visitors. This edition was no different in this respect and the result was very positive. We had around 300 visitors throughout the week and we had contact with various new potential customers. We expect this to generate between R$ 2-3 million in business over the next 60 days", Cornelis Henrique Borst, director of Selovac.

 

 

"Trade fairs like this one are important for establishing contact with new customers. Brasilpack met our expectations very well. We sold 12 cutting and welding machines, for a total of R$ 700,000. This result was better than during Brasilplast 2007. I’ve already got the paperwork ready to take part in Brasilplast 2009 and Brasilpack 2010", Luiz Antonio Reis, President of Macam.

 

"The fair was not just good, it was excellent. It was the best fair we’ve taken part in over the last five years. The difference is that it combines printing with conversion and there’s a great variety of material and an eclectic public. Furthermore, the event is perfect for establishing institutional relations. We closed deals with three machinery manufacturers during the event, which should start buying from us as from next Monday.", Cláudio Boch, from Tidland

"The fair was excellent for Apolo, it really exceeded our expectations. Our stand was 10 times bigger than during the last edition of Brasilpack. We did a lot of business and we initiated contacts that will bear fruit for the whole year", Michel Guttmann, director of Apolo.

 

 

 

"Brasilpack is a great and very important event for Romi. This year our participation is even more relevant because for the first time we’re here with J.A.C. Indústria Metalúrgica Ltda., a company Romi took over in January. In addition to showing our machinery and enjoying all the important contacts that the fair provides us with Brasilpack actually expanded our commercial base, because we sold to companies that were not yet our customers", Livaldo Aguiar dos Santos, Managing Director of Indústrias Romi.

 

"A lot of people were interested in the company. We’ll see the results after the event has ended. The fair also allowed us to see our customers again", Irineu Bendazzoli, director of Benda.

"We took advantage of the fair to publicise all our products that have applications in various segments. We made contact with more or less a 100 potential customers, which should lead to business over the next few months", Rubens Versiani, management assistant of Saturno.


 

"The fair is very important for us institutionally. During the event we made contacts that could lead to future business. With the arrival of Reed on the scene, we’ve seen that some things have already improved, because there’s less bureaucracy and more agility in our processes", Bernd Lorenz, Managing Director of Erhardt + Leimer.

"The fair was very good for us. Many of the prospects that came by here have already asked for a quotation and there are good prospects for after the event", Aline Iwanski, Marketing Manager of Longa.
