EasyFairs on course for success

 
The second EasyFairs Packaging, which will take place in Lucerne on November 7 and 8, 2007, is already fully booked. The trade fair is thus establishing itself as a national event. 
Short, compact and cost-effective - this is the concept of EasyFairs, which already organizes over 40 events throughout Europe on a variety of topics. The organizer aims to offer exhibitors and visitors a professional and topic-focused contact platform for simple and direct business with an optimum cost-benefit ratio. The concept has also been well received in Switzerland. The first EasyFairs Packaging, which took place last year, met with great interest.
Expanded exhibition spaceOver 100 companies will be represented in Lucerne in November, 30 percent more than in 2006. Compared to last year's EasyFairs packaging fair, the exhibition space has increased by 20 percent. The exhibitors include well-known companies in the Swiss packaging market such as Pago, Well-Pack, Prodinger Verpackung, Antalis, Verpama and ATS Tanner. The trade fair in Lucerne covers all areas of the packaging industry, including packaging materials, packaging technologies, packaging machines, label and marking technology, packaging design and layout and recycling. According to surveys, 97 percent of the 1,500 trade visitors to the last packaging trade fair rated the event as good to very good. Around half will buy products from the trade fair, and more than 60 percent will invest between CHF 7,500 and CHF 155,000 in them.
Two new eventsA total of three EasyFairs trade fairs will be held in Switzerland in the near future. In addition to the packaging trade fair in November at the Allmend in Lucerne, EasyFairs Maintenance, a national trade fair for industrial maintenance and facility management, will be held in Basel on January 23 and 24, 2008, and EasyFairs Shop will take place in Lucerne on April 8 and 9, 2008. The latter is intended to establish itself as the actual industry meeting place for the Swiss retail trade.
