From 21 – 23 March 2017, CCE International, Europe’s only exhibition exclusively targeted to the corrugated and folding carton industry, will open its doors at the Munich Trade Fair Centre, Germany. Since its successful launch in 2013, the show has seen an increase in exhibitor and visitor numbers as well as net exhibition space. Over approximately 5,000 m2, more than 150 providers of raw materials, machines, accessories and services will present cutting-edge technologies, manufacturing systems and the latest solutions for the production and conversion of corrugated and cartonboard, with a spotlight on new application fields, such as print and refinement. The exchange of expertise among industry specialists will be further supported by an Open Seminar held on the show floor. The free Show Preview and Visitor Guide in print are ready to order from www.cce-international.com, where the Show Preview is also available in a new online format. Online Tickets for the exhibition will go on sale from mid-January.
