This is metal

This year will be an important one for the metal packaging industry. Metpack 2011 will see suppliers and can makers come together under one roof at the industry’s biggest event.

Companies will spend thousands to ensure that they have the biggest and best stands at Messe Essen in Germany. This event only comes around once every three years so you can be sure that companies will be pulling out all the stops.

That’s why I am delighted that we have been selected as the official media partner for the event. Over the coming months we will be previewing the show and will provide unrivalled coverage. To ensure you are featured please send details of what you are planning to exhibit, with photographs where appropriate, to [email protected].

The importance of innovation never seems lost in this industry and I am looking forward to the event.

In the next issue of CanTech International we are introducing the first in a series of technical articles that are designed to provide can makers and suppliers with troubleshooting techniques. I have decided to introduce this as a result of feedback from our readers so please look out for it.
