"SuperCorrExpo has a truly global reach – the involvement of WICMA extends our participation beyond the Western hemisphere and into Asia," said Larry N Montague, TAPPI president and CEO. "We’re constantly generating new excitement about SuperCorrExpo from different corners of the globe. It will all translate to a profitable experience for exhibitors and attendees next October."
WICMA concentrates its efforts on promoting trade, commerce and industry for corrugated boards and boxes in Western India. It also promotes education about corrugated packaging and encourages research to improve the quality of corrugated boards and boxes.
WICMA is affiliated with the federation of Corrugated Box Manufacturers of India. Pankaj Shah, the chairman of WICMA research and development center, says the organisation has 470 members spread throughout Western India. Its website, www.wicma.com, lists full details of the activities provided by the group.
"SuperCorrExpo is a premium opportunity for our members to meet potential business partners from around the world at a single event," Shah said. "At no other show can we see such a sizable collection of working machinery and experience world-class educational sessions about corrugated boards and boxes. SuperCorrExpo attendees from WICMA will be able to improve the Indian corrugated industry’s technology and quality after attending this unique, world-class show."
SuperCorrExpo will have significant representation from Asia, Europe, Eastern Europe, the Middle East and the Americas. Attendees from more than 70 countries are expected to attend SuperCorrExpo in 2012. SuperCorrExpo also recently announced a sponsorship arrangement with the Corrugated Association of the Caribbean, Central and South America, which will bring many members from those countries to the show.
Occurring only once every four years, SuperCorrExpo is the largest exposition for corrugated solution providers and corrugated solution seekers in the Western hemisphere. More than 300 industry suppliers gather with thousands of industry leaders from all over the world at SuperCorrExpo.
The four-day exposition is hosted at the Georgia World Congress Center by two of the corrugated industry’s leading associations, TAPPI and AICC.
