The 10th anniversary event of the ICE Europe show will take place from 21-23 March 2017 at the Munich Trade Fair Centre in Germany. The world’s leading exhibition for the conversion of flexible, web-based materials, such as paper, film, foil and nonwovens, targets industry professionals looking for innovative equipment and solutions within the converting sector

“For two decades now, ICE Europe has been the key platform for converting professionals and experts who seek to advance their business and stay updated on the latest innovations. Following the record show of 2015, closing with a visitor increase of 7%, the 10th event of ICE Europe 2017 will focus on the rapid technological diversification in converting, which is pushed by the impact of trends and challenges on the industry, such as automation and digitisation. The converting market is a highly dynamic sector in which the production and conversion of high quality flexible materials and the implementation of sustainable production processes are the drivers for innovation,” says Nicola Hamann, Managing Director of the organisers, Mack Brooks Exhibitions.
