BANGKOK, Mar 29, 2012 - (ACN Newswire) - ProPak Asia 2012, the definitive exhibition and conference for international manufacturers and suppliers of machinery, technology and materials for the packaging, filing, processing, and quality assurance sectors, will be held at the Bangkok International Trade and Exhibition Centre (BITEC) from 13th-16th June 2012.

The event theme this year, which also marks ProPak Asia's 20th anniversary, is "Total Processing and Packaging Solutions for Food, Drink and Pharmaceuticals", focusing the spotlight on processing and packaging solutions that ensure quality, freshness, and safety for these industries.

"As the largest international processing and packaging event in Asia, ProPak Asia continues to highlight the topical issues that are affecting the industry, and brings together the leading manufacturers and suppliers to showcase a wide range of cutting-edge solutions to an international audience," said Mr Justin Pau, General Manager of Bangkok Exhibition Services.

"With its high annual visitorship, ProPak Asia is the perfect platform for Singaporean companies to present their products and solutions to the industry at large, and to keep abreast of the trends in the market," said Mr Albert Lim, Chairman of the Packaging Council of Singapore.

Last year, the 19th ProPak Asia conference attracted 33,376 trade buyers from 61 countries, with the top ten key Asian buyer concentration from Malaysia, India, Singapore, Japan, Vietnam, Indonesia, Phillipines, China, Myanmar and Bangladesh.

ProPak Asia is clearly playing a crucial role in the region's processing and packaging advancements. The event this year also put the focus on ideas and concepts driving emerging sectors by serving as home to five specialized zones:

- DrinkTech Asia 2012 - The 11th International Beverage and Brewing Processing and Packaging Technology Exhibition.
