PakFOOD
Food
well packed
This year the series of fairs for the
food industry will for the second time be
supplemented with PAKFOOD Food Industry
Packaging Fair, which is organised biennially,
alternating with the International
Packaging Technology and Logistics Exhibition
TAROPAK. After a successful debut
in 2007 (200 exhibitors from 18 countries
who presented their offers on the area of
6,500 sq m) we are convinced that this fair
is a good response to the market needs.
Meeting of the whole industry
The scope of exhibition of PAKFOOD fair covers the most important areas in the food packaging
sector, i.e. apart from packaging – packaging materials, raw materials, semi-products,
package manufacturing machines, packing machines and devices, products storage
systems as well as technical consulting.
Such a comprehensive offer allows to target PAKFOOD fair at a broad audience – first and
foremost at the representatives of the food industry, producers of packages and packaging
machines, printing houses, sellers as well as individual customers. The fact that they
are organised simultaneously with the International Food Product Trade Fair POLAGRA-
FOOD and the International Fair Trade of Food Processing Technologies POLAGRA-TECH
provides the exhibitors with an opportunity to meet a wide spectrum of customers. The last
edition of the fair was visited by 34,000 people altogether.

POLAGRA is obviously part of promotional
activities. It is our third time here, i.e. since
the moment the company was established,
and this shows how much emphasis we
place on the fair. Investments in PAGO
are of exceptional character. Investments
in logistics – and in the freezing sector is
probably the highest in the country. Our
activities aim at introducing significant
changes in the organisation and structure
of distribution in our country through
market activities, as well as educational
initiatives and promoting know-how in the
sphere of logistics. The aim of our participation
in POLAGRA is to disseminate knowledge
about the organisation of delivery
chain service processes among everyone
who is interested in cutting-edge storage
technology, distribution technology, and a
comprehensive approach to process management.
During the fair we will organise a
conference presenting features of our new
logistic software.
Our warehouses and distribution centres
are equipped with the systems which can
be considered to be the most cutting-edge
on the national scale – and beyond. Controlling
shelves, lighting, optimisation of
energy use for cooling – this is only a foretaste
of the potential of installed Hi-Tech
novelties. What is important is the full representation
of physical logistic processes
in the IT system. Warehouse economy managed
practically with no paper, based on
commonplace radio terminals, scanners,
sensors and electronic scales, allows to
provide cargo services with the level of human
error limited to the minimum. Most of
these systems we have already put into operation,
others will be implemented soon.
We believe that if we contribute to their
becoming as standards, everybody’s work
will be easier.

Talks between professionals are often continued during
conferences and special business meetings.
