ew Zealand’s foremost food and packaging technology exhibition, Foodtech Packtech (FTPT), is being held from 11–13 October 2016, in Auckland — and everyone in the food and beverage processing and packaging industries is welcome to attend. Held only once every two years, this free-to-attend event will provide visitors with the opportunity to come face to face with the experts and discover the freshest ideas, latest technologies and the newest developments entering the food manufacturing and packaging technology industries. This year Foodtech Packtech is co-locating with the Materials Handling & Logistics Expo and more than 250 local and international exhibiting companies will showcase their goods and services to more than 4500 qualified visitors. Foodtech Packtech will also offer a comprehensive educational and professional development seminar program. Presented by industry leaders across both the food manufacturing and packaging technology sectors, the three-day program will provide visitors with insights on the latest technologies and leading-edge innovations critical to the growth and development of the industry. The Foodtech Packtech 2016 theme of Adding Value to NZ’s Food Chain will be dominant over the three days through live product demonstrations, special features and a very full schedule of industry lead education and learning seminars. A complete list of seminars for the 2016 exhibition will be available on the Foodtech Packtech website, www.foodtechpacktech.co.nz, closer to the event. “There is very strong industry support for Foodtech Packtech 2016,” said FTPT Sales Manager Deb Haimes, “which, I believe, reflects the current industry and economic sentiment. We see many exhibitors returning after a more challenging period. As businesses gain confidence and adopt a more positive outlook, FTPT 2016 will showcase amazing examples of successful high-tech Kiwi food and beverage manufacturing capability.

NOTICE:
At every Foodtech Packtech exhibition What’s New in Food Technology & Manufacturing hands out hundreds of magazines and farm animal-shaped stress balls. Two years ago we handed out chickens but, to our horror, an innocent chicken was misappropriated by a ruthless exhibitor, forced into a plastic bag and vacuum packed.

Readers are advised by the publishers to ensure that all necessary safety devices and precautions are installed and safe working procedures adopted before the use of any equipment found or purchased through the information we provide. Further, all performance criteria was provided by the representative company concerned and any dispute should be referred to them.
