Cannex - The World Canmaking Congress.

Cannex is where canmakers, their suppliers and customers meet to discuss the market, technologies and trends.

In a year that will undoubtedly be dominated by ongoing economic concerns, Cannex Asia Pacific will be visiting China , a country with a metal packaging sector that is still experiencing exceptional growth.

Metal cans represent a vital part of the packaging mix for food and beverage companies, personal care product manufacturers, industrial container users and fancy can producers. The industry is estimated to be worth $150 billion a year worldwide.

You do not have to conduct business in Asia Pacific to benefit from this year's show. Cannex is an international exhibition that attracts exhibitors and visitors from around the globe who will be using the opportunity to establish contacts, explore new equipment and technologies, and boost their businesses.

Anyone who has an interest in the use and manufacture of metal containers will find at Cannex a wealth of innovation to explore and, most importantly, will have unparalleled opportunities to meet and interact with the people who produce it.

First held in 1994 in Bangkok , Cannex is held in North America, the Middle East and Asia , meeting a need for product and service suppliers to exhibit in their key markets.

Chief executives and technical specialists from canmakers, buyers from businesses that use cans, designers, equipment manufacturers, coatings producers and metal companies regularly attend Cannex and value the high quality of its visitors and the relaxed, comfortable atmosphere.

The show is backed by The Canmaker magazine which provides its subscribers with the exclusive Gold Club lounge.
