Propak West Africa 2019 has added a further 25% of exhibition space and announces Sasol as Gold Sponsor for this year’s edition.   

Having grown consistently year on year since its inception, Propak West Africa has become the region’s largest and most attended exhibition for packaging, plastics, printing and food-processing.

Following enormous success from the previous year, organisers have announced an additional 25% in floorspace to accommodate the demand to exhibit. Among the brands already confirmed to participate in 2019 are Bobst, Ishida Europe, PanAsia Tech, Sasol, Snetor, SkySat, Windmoeller & Hoelscher and many more.

Recently announced as the Gold Sponsor for the upcoming edition of Propak West Africa, Sasol, is an international integrated chemicals and energy company working in 33 countries. Sasol’s Chemicals Polymers, Solvents and Wax divisions market and supply value-added products and services to the plastics packaging and printing industry globally. Following their first-time exhibiting in 2018, their decision to maximise their efforts in the region is a true testament to the show’s increasing success.

In 2018, Propak West Africa welcomed 4,265 attendees, an increase of an astonishing thirty-one percent from 2017 while the size of the show itself grew by almost half after the addition of a third Hall. With 32 countries represented by exhibitors and visitors alike, the show has established itself firmly as a truly international event. 

Speaking on Propak West Africa’s growth, Regional Director for Afrocet Montgomery, George Pearson comments, “The additional hall space allocated for 2019 means Propak West Africa has grown by a total of two thirds in just two years, that coupled with more than 80% of stands space already sold for the upcoming exhibition, is evidence of the market’s growth and opportunity for development.”

So what can we expect in 2019?
