From 10 -12 March 2015, the international converting
community will gather in Munich, at ICE Europe 2015, to explore the latest
manufacturing solutions and discuss prevailing industry trends. More than 400
exhibitors from 21 countries will present a comprehensive range of machines,
materials, accessories and services at the 9th International Exhibition for the
Conversion of Paper, Film, Foil and Nonwovens.
„Key topics at ICE Europe 2015 are environmentally-friendly
converting processes, utilisation of new applications and energy efficient
production. General trends such as automation and digitalisation do also have
an increasing impact on the converting industry. Visitors to ICE Europe 2015
will be able to discover all these future converting trends at the show,” says
Nicola Hamann, Managing Director of Mack Brooks Exhibitions, the organisers of
the show.
With a net exhibition space of more than 10,000 m2 and more

the converting industry. A total of 6,600 visitors from 64 countries attended

highly international event, with 40% of the exhibitors coming from outside
Germany. Great Britain, Italy, Switzerland and the USA are major exhibitor
countries next to Germany,” says Nicola Hamann.
