UCIMA continues its trade fair activities in April 2024
12 April 2024: Following its successful participation in Propak Vietnam earlier this month, Ucima is preparing to continue its international exhibition activities with a presence at three further trade fairs, reaffirming its commitment to promoting the Italian packaging industry at a global level.
The first of these events is Circle Pack Chile to be held from 16-18 April 2024. UCIMA, in collaboration with Italian Trade Agency ITA, is organising a collective of 8 Italian companies consisting of Cepi, Duetti Packaging, Imball, Itatools, M.C.Z. Automazioni, Pigo, Senzani Brevetti and Zanasi. Chile is an expanding market with a vibrant economy and growing demand in the agri-food sector. The country’s exports are growing rapidly and are projected to double within the next decade. One of the biggest challenges faced by Chilean producers is the enormous geographical distances that separate them from their main export markets, resulting in a need for flexible hi-tech solutions for production of lightweight yet rugged packaging.
UCIMA’s second stop is Djazagro in Algeria, to be held from 22-25 April 2024. For this event, UCIMA will once again team up with the Italian Trade Agency ITA to organise an Italian collective consisting of a total of 50 companies: A Due di Squeri Donato, A.C.M.A., A.C.M.I., Akomag, Alfatek, Arol, B.A. Processing, Cevolani Italia, Concetti, Costruzioni Meccaniche Sottoriva, Cusinato Giovanni, Ecopack, F.B.L.

Rounding off the month, Korea Pack in South Korea from 23-26 April 2024 will see the participation of 7 Italian companies in a collective organised by Ucima: Angelus, Arol, Cavanna, Concetti, Galdi, Ilpra and Polylayertech.
