Western Cape packaging and related expo geared to grow your business
· 2 min read

Returning to Cape Town in October, the highly successful Propak Cape trade exhibition provides an excellent opportunity for suppliers of machinery, products and services aimed at the packaging, food processing, plastics, print, labelling and wine & olive oil production industries to connect with thousands of prospective buyers and purchasing influencers.
Taking place at the Cape Town International Conference Centre (CTICC) from 24-26 October, Propak Cape has been a catalyst for business in the Western Cape for over twenty years. As a major exporter of fruit, wine, vegetables, flowers and other valuable commodities to international markets, the Western Cape is heavily reliant on the packaging industry in realising the country’s export potential and the region’s all-important stake in earning valuable foreign exchange.
“Over 200 industry suppliers will use this unique platform to showcase latest industry trends and cutting-edge technology, equipment and services,” says Mark Anderson, Portfolio Director at Specialised Exhibitions, a division of Montgomery Group, organisers of the show. “Visitors will be on the lookout for the latest automation systems, what’s new in machine parts, components and equipment, as well as finding solutions for improved efficiency, cost containment and targeting new market segments.”
“We use data analytics to ensure we target the right visitor profile,” Anderson continues. “Over 86% of visitors have purchasing authority or strongly influence the decision making process, which results in significant onsite sales and lead generation at the show. The previous show attracted almost 6,000 visitors”
“More than 80% of available exhibition stands have already been sold. We encourage those who have not yet booked their space to do so. Our operations team is ready to deliver a world-class exhibition and our marketing team is ready to deliver the audience you want to meet. It will be an exciting show and beneficial to your business.”
