Building Markets Worldwide...

Expotraffic 2013, the exhibition for road traffic management and highways operation, will take place at Moscow’s prestigious Expocentr from 12 to 14 March 2013.

This timely event will enable companies supplying the technologies, equipment and expertise needed to increase the efficiency and safety of highways to present their capabilities to visiting professionals representing the authorities and agencies responsible for the development and operation of the Russia’s roads.

With the road system in Russia facing ever-increasing use as a result of economic growth and rising demand for personal mobility, there is an urgent need to adopt international best practice in managing the network. Expotraffic is being launched into a market in which there is a clear demand for the latest traffic management systems and products and strong evidence that Russian buyers are looking internationally as well as to domestic suppliers for solutions.

Expotraffic will therefore provide a valuable new marketing opportunity for companies seeking
business in Russia in four key sectors:

Road traffic management, including toll systems and telematics

Road safety, including traffic lights and speed control

Highways operation and maintenance, including lighting and security

Parking systems and equipment

The event is being organised by Restec Brooks Exhibitions, a joint venture of Mack Brooks Exhibitions Ltd in the United Kingdom and the St Petersburg-based Restec Exhibition Company. Restec Brooks Exhibitions is the organiser of the successful Exporail rail technology events and the INTERtunnel shows for the tunnelling industry, both of which take place regularly at Moscow’s Expocentr.

Additional information on Expotraffic 2013, including details of exhibition stand options, will soon be available on the regularly updated show website www.expotraffic.com

“More than 50 companies here at Fastener Fair Hannover, have never exhibited at any Fastener Fair before and will therefore add value to the fastener and fixings show with their new products and services.

For distributors, suppliers, engineers and other industry professionals from all over the world, Fastener Fair Hannover 2012 is, therefore, the ideal opportunity to source and trade new products and to gain an overview of what is available on a global scale,” says Susanne Rauberger.

The outlook for this industry sector is currently thoroughly positive, with the market for fastener and fixings holding up, due to strong industry production, in particular, in Germany.

Against the background of growing worldwide demand for corrugated and folding carton, exhibition organisers, Mack Brooks Exhibitions, announces the launch of CCE International, the only specialised exhibition in Europe for the corrugated and carton industries. CCE International will take place from 19-21 March 2013 at the Munich

Trade Fair Centre in Germany. The show will be co-located with the 8^th ICE Europe, the world’s leading trade exhibition for paper, film and foil converting.

With an ever increasing demand for attractive and environmentally friendly packaging solutions, the worldwide consumption of corrugated and cartonboard is on the up. This is mainly due to an increased standard of living in the emerging economies and a general awareness for sustainably produced and packaged products. For the corrugated and carton converting industries, this development offers excellent opportunities to further increase market share within the packaging sector. Corrugated boxes and folding cartons guarantee excellent protection of the packaged goods, while being lightweight and recyclable.

“It is in this context that we decided to launch a dedicated exhibition for this industry sector in Europe. With CCE International we finally offer a tailor-made platform for the corrugated and carton industries. The exhibition is designed to give raw material manufacturers as well as machinery and service suppliers a unique opportunity to present their latest products and developments to corrugated and folding carton converters, as well as packaging designers,” says Stephen Brooks, Chairman Mack Brooks Exhibitions.

“Feedback from the companies in the corrugated and carton sector, who we had informed in advance of our plans to launch CCE International, was thoroughly positive. Machinery manufacturers as well as suppliers of raw material, services or ancillaries are excited about the idea of finally having a market place of their own; many companies have immediately confirmed that they will participate,” explains Nicola Hamann, Exhibition Director, CCE International. “The first CCE International is therefore set to be well received by the corrugated and carton industry and we are confident that the launch event will prove a solid basis for the development of the exhibition into Europe’s first choice event for this industry sector,” says Nicola Hamann.

Exhibitor information now available

For companies interested in exhibiting at CCE International 2013, an exhibitor brochure is now available including useful information about the exhibition, the venue and how to book stand space. As an introductory offer, there is an early-bird discount of 10% on stand space for exhibitors who book before the end of June.

The exhibition profile of CCE International covers raw materials, corrugated equipment, corrugated converting equipment, folding carton converting equipment, printing equipment, pre-production and pre-press, materials handling and warehousing, waste extraction and baling as well as machine and plant controls.

Visitors to the exhibition include trade professionals of corrugated board plants and sheet plants, corrugated sheet feeders, folding carton converters, packaging designers and specifiers, rigid carton manufacturers, honeycomb board manufacturers, core board and core tube manufacturers and trade agencies. CCE International will also attract a variety of production specialists across industry sectors such as food and beverage, furniture, pharmaceutical, cosmetics and tobacco.

Two dedicated industry shows at one venue

As regards trade visitors, CCE International will benefit from strong synergies with the 8^th ICE Europe - the world’s leading exhibition for paper, film and foil converting - that will take place at the same time and venue. With 384 exhibitors from 23 countries and 5,700 visitors from 65 countries, the previous event was the biggest converting exhibition ever. ICE Europe 2013 will take place in halls A5 and A6 at the Munich Trade Fair Centre; CCE International will be held in Hall B5, situated exactly opposite.

The Munich Trade Fair Centre is internationally renowned as a venue for professional industry exhibitions. With its modern exhibition halls, easy access and excellent infrastructure it offers the best possible facilities for showcasing products and services as well as live machine demonstrations.
