There are less than 5 months to the first edition of Packology, the packaging show UCIMA - the Italian Association of Automatic Packaging Machinery Manufacturers - has strongly demanded and wanted.

The exhibition will take place in June 2010 at the Rimini Fairground.

UCIMA associated companies have positively and warmly responded to this new initiative

Gianmario Ronchi, owner of Ronchi Mario Spa and councillor of the Association, explains the reasons:

‘Packology is the show organized and wanted by the Italian Manufacturers of automatic machines. German and American manufacturers who, altogether, hauls the market, have since long moved in this direction by organizing their own exhibitions.

Expectations are those of having the possibility of structuring the event by responding to the requirements and suggestions of exhibitors. Through Ucima, which represents us, the manufacturers can really “build-up” their own show, being well aware of the requirements of the companies operating within this industry’

We remind that the new show will occupy a space of 64000 squared meters.

Interesting facilitations are foreseen for exhibitors, aimed at allowing their participation in large numbers. This show wants to be the event of the upswing after the worldwide economic recession that poured its effects on this industry as well, even if it has reacted very well thanks to the high technological level of the offer.

In 2008, according to the data published by UCIMA, the Italian Association representing the manufacturers of automatic packaging machines, exportation towards Asia have peaked up to a 10,0% increase, by confirming the second place in the market of major outlet for the packaging machinery, with a quota that has reached the 17,3%.
Doubtless Asia represents one of the most vivid and interesting marketplaces.
Ronchi, designing and realizing fillers, cappers and unscramblers for the packaging industry, has since some time identified growth possibilities in this area and has inaugurated at early 2008 its own branch Ronchi Asia Company Limited, based in Bangkok - Thailand.
Absolutely positive has been the reply received from the Asian market which interfaced with a team of experts of Asian origin and trained in Italy, who follow directly the Customers from the commercial contact through the consequent phases of manufacture, testing and start-up on the spot of Ronchi machinery.
Moreover, particularly appreciated is the technical support provided from the branch for the after-sale service, thank to Ronchi Asia’s ability of ensuring the supply of spare parts directly available from a local storeroom.

Announced since middle of September, the new Italian Show devoted to the Packaging Industry has been officially introduced to the press on the 16th October.
It has been named PACKOLOGY: the first edition will take place at the Rimini Fairground (Italy) from Tuesday the 8th till Friday the 11th June 2010
The Show is reserved to the packaging industry operators and will have a three-year periodicity; it is the fruit of the partnership between UCIMA Association and Rimini Fiera SpA that has allocated a promotional budget of one-million euros for this new event.
The exhibition will occupy the west wing of the Rimini fairground, eight halls for a total of 60.000 sq.meter area. On display to the Show visitors will be able to see packaging conditioning and processing machinery, packaging materials, labelling, coding and marking technologies, accessories and components, logistics, press and editorial applications.
PACKOLOGY is addressed to those operators involved in the processing, conditioning and packaging industry touching several sectors: consumption goods (no food), beverage, house-hold chemistry, pharmaceuticals, food, health care etc.

U.S.A. keep on being the first destination of the automatic packaging machines produced in Italy. This has been released by the category association UCIMA, in a recently published survey referred to 2008.
The Italian industry, leader in the manufacture of automatic machines together with Germany, exports the 90% approx. of its production (data referred to the impact of the foreign sales over the total turnover). Significant is the export growth recorded towards the new markets such as Turkey and Poland.
