From 10 – 12 March 2015 CCE International, Europe’s only specialised exhibition for the corrugated and folding carton industry, will open its door at the Munich Trade Fair Centre in Germany. After a highly successful launch in March 2013, the event has now grown by 30% in exhibitor numbers and floor space. On a net exhibition space of 4,500 square metres, more than 150 exhibitors from 18 countries will showcase raw materials, machines, accessories and services for the fabrication and conversion of corrugated and cartonboard. Visitors to the show are the buyers and users of equipment and systems for corrugated and cartonboard production.

The first edition of CCE International featured 110 exhibitors and more than 2,000 trade visitors and was well received by the industry. “With CCE International we have designed a specialised platform in Europe for the corrugated and cartonboard industry. We had such outstanding feedback on the launch event that we could grow the exhibitor numbers and the floor space for the second event by one third. A large number of exhibiting companies that exhibit for the second time have booked larger stands to present even more live demonstrations; and there are also many new companies at CCE International 2015, from Germany and abroad. It has thus become generally known within the corrugated and carton industry that CCE International is the key marketplace for this industry sector,” says Nicola Hamann, Managing Director of the organisers, Mack Brooks Exhibitions.
