24 countries to exhibit in Saudi Print & Pack Show

Saudi Print & Pack, the 13th international trade exhibition for printing and packaging technologies, is being held at the Riyadh International Convention and Exhibition Center from Jan. 18-21.
The show, which gathers key local and international industry figures and major companies, has played an important role throughout the years in supporting the print industry by creating the ideal platform for showcasing new formats and cross-media concepts through a display of the latest equipment and supplies.
On the sidelines of the show, workshops will discuss latest trends and ensure knowledge transfer to support industry development locally and regionally.
The 13th edition attracts 24 countries from all over Europe, Asia, the Middle East and Africa, along with the local companies who have occupied 97 percent of the 15,000 sqm area, and is held concurrently with the Saudi Plastic & Petrochemicals Exhibition.
Both exhibitions are organized by the Riyadh Exhibitions Company, with the support of the Saudi Ministry of Commerce and Industry and with the participation of Saudi Basic Industries Corporation (SABIC) and National Industrialization Company (Tasnee) as diamond sponsors, and Advanced Petrochemical Company and Saudi Polymers Company LLC (SPCo) as platinum sponsors.
Nidal Al-Ghamdi, director of PR at the Saudi Print and Pack Exhibition, said: “This show comes in line with the Saudi government plans of economic diversification to boost economic performance through attracting investments and increasing exports.”
“The Saudi Print and Pack provides a platform for local and international companies to explore business and investment opportunities that aim at supporting the Saudi print and packaging industry, which is expected to touch $20 billion by 2016, while the packaging market is growing at the rate of 5 to 15 percent year-on-year where the Kingdom controls more than 70 percent of the GCC packaging market.
