Such a fantastic variety of machines with engaging exhibitors.
Josh Mann, Production Manager, NMC
Enjoyable, informative and to the point. An excellent display of products and process development ideas that will change the market!
Tim Conder, Managing Director, Bells of Lazonby
Anything you’re looking for in processing and packaging, you’ll find it here.
Nicole Carr, Project Manager, Pepsico
It is good to see what other technologies are out in the market and what opportunities you can explore.
Craig Burgess, Managing Director, Lechler
Another well organised show, the quality of people attending has been excellent. Visitors really know what they want and this has led to some very interesting conversations.
Matthew Rothon, Director, Unbar Rothon
When designing new product lines it can take time speaking to multiple suppliers. The show allowed us to speak to everyone under one roof, saving us weeks of planning.
Martin Howard, Technical Manager, Middlewich Food Trays
It's the only way to see what you are not looking for. An internet search only gives what you think you want, not new ideas you don't know about.
It was great to see such an eclectic mix of manufacturing and engineering companies at the show, showcasing the diversity of the industry.
Allan Hayles, Packaging Systems Manager, HPS
It’s been good to meet potential new partners. You build a network of like-minded colleagues within the industry, for synergising – for networking. It’s also great to see what’s new on the market. It keeps you sharp, competitive and up to date, particularly with best practice, which is very important.
Mark Chandler, Production Manager, Warner Edwards
We’ve found the perfect supplier and a good range of suppliers with three or more different players. We’ve had lots of great conversations and feedback.
Brian Baker, Packaging Innovation Manager, Nestlé UK
I attend to gain an insight into the latest innovations. The exhibition is great and there is so much variety on show.
Rory Pear, Managing Director, DSL
The show is fantastic. A lot of people have said very positive things and there is a good number of active exhibitors and machinery in action. Exhibitors have clearly gone to a lot of effort.
Barry Dunner, Project Manager, Unilever
There is a good, wide range of products on show. We came to the show looking for automation partners, which is where our company is headed. We’ve visited the show a number of times and it always delivers good networking opportunities.
Mike Weaver, Engineering Lead, Unilever
I would definitely come again. We saw some suppliers that we don’t get to see face to face, so perfect. If you only talk to your suppliers by email, come here. See them face to face.
Aaron Moore, Asset Maintenance Manager, Nestlé UK
Fantastic day here at the PPMA Show, lots of suppliers that we work with. Some really innovative solutions, and a lot of relatable things for us, so we are taking lots of lessons home.
