Back to Bangkok!
Asia CanTech will return to the Thailand capital of Bangkok in 2018.
Travel woe
Over the past couple of years I’ve certainly become a lot more travel-wise, having been to a fair few places under my remit as editor of CanTech.
The future is here
The final day of Asia CanTech kicked off with Thongchai Oranrigsupak, vice chairman of the Thai Metal Packaging Association, providing an overview on the Thai metal packaging industry.
Celebrating 25 years at Asia CanTech
As customary, Asia CanTech launched with its Monday afternoon tabletop session, with an opportunity to conduct business in a relaxed setting.
Sending condolences
Our November issue shortly goes to press where we make use of some new contributors. Editorial board member Andrew Truelove outlines how his company, CarnaudMetalbox, has used the global WorldSkills competition to help develop the next generation of can making engineers and professionals.
Counting down the days
We are now only a few days from Asia CanTech in Bangkok! Most of the hard work from a logistics side is now done, so it’s just a case of waiting for the show to begin.
A full set
With Asia CanTech now less than three weeks away, it is very much all systems go for the event, taking place in Bangkok, Thailand.
Fun and fizz!
By now the October issue of CanTech International should be hitting your desks shortly. As you can see by our excellent front cover, we are celebrating 25 years in publication.
Putting things into perspective
September 2017 has been memorable for all the wrong reasons. With hurricanes and earthquakes decimating the Caribbean and Latin American, it’s really hit home how life is so precious.
Celebrating 25 years
The October issue of CanTech sees Bell Publishing celebrating the 25-year anniversary since the first issue of the CanTech International magazine was published.
Doing our bit
This month’s Can Man is an interesting read, in light of the shocking scenes we have witnessed due to Hurricane Harvey and the subsequent flooding.
Your essential guide
Our Supplier Profile issue should start to hit desks at the end of next week. It’s a bumper 108-page issue so it has kept us busy during the past few weeks.
A refreshing change
Neil and I have just returned from Portugal, where we visited Comur’s fish canning shops in Lisbon, followed by a trip to Aveiro to see the packing plant and museum.
Football without cans is nothing
One of the aspects of my job I particularly enjoy is finding quirky stories to do with metal packaging and the public’s love for cans. This week I stumbled upon an interesting story to do with a flag from some football supporters in the UK, or soccer for those of you reading from the other side of the pond.
