Thin Wall Packaging 2013 looks at the applications, technology and materials for cups, tubs, trays and containers, primarily for food applications. It looks at storage and functionality of plastics materials in protecting and preserving items such as meat, yogurt, margarine, fruit and vegetables, dairy, fish, soup, and ready mealsThere are material and machinery developments being presented. One of the hot topics is high barrier thin gauge packaging, which allows economic, long shelf life packaging at low weight, and improves sustainability by cutting material requirements and lowering the carbon footprint of transportation. High barriers to gas, microbes and water vapor can be achieved using a variety of methods and materials. For example, the in mold label can have a function as well as being decorative and carrying information. There are also continuous innovations in co-extrusion and co-injection technologies. Thin Wall Packaging 2013 offers a meeting point for the industry to debate business trends and improvements in packaging technology. It provides a unique opportunity to network with the wide range of professionals involved with the plastics packaging industry at all levels of the supply chain.CONFERENCE HOTLINEContact: Amanda Schaeffer, Conference CoordinatorTel: +1 610 478 0800Fax: +1 610 478 0900Email: as@amiplastics-na.comTuesday, June 18, 20138:00 Registration and welcome coffee9:00 Opening announcementsSESSION 1 - MARKET OVERVIEW9:10 Additives as an enhancer Mr. Guerino Madeddu, Plastics & Service Developments Americas, DANONE, Canada 9:40 Consolidation and M&A trends in thin wall packaging Mr. John Hart, Director & Co-Lead – Plastics & Packaging Group, P&M CORPORATE FINANCE (PMCF), United States10:10 Thin wall packaging trends in retail Mr. Matthew Hudak, Research Analyst, EUROMONITOR INTERNATIONAL, United States10:40-11:10 Coffee break sponsored by: 11:10 Trends and developments in food on-the-go packaging Speaker TBDSESSION 2 - MATERIAL INNOVATIONS11:40 Productivity and aesthetics improvements for thin wall PP packaging Mr. Wim Van De Velde, Global Product Line Manager, MILLIKEN & COMPANY, United States12:10 Understanding & innovating with biopolymers (for thin wall packaging) Mr. David Stanton, North America Retail, NATUREWORKS LLC, United States12:40-2:10 Lunch SESSION 3 - PROCESS OPTIMIZATION 2:10 Thermoforming innovations and precision handling of thin wall containers Mr. Thomas Stahl, Sales Manager, ILLIG MASCHINENBAU GmbH, Germany2:40 Microwave assisted thermal sterilization and pasteurization, considerations and opportunities for an emerging market Mr. Travis Woodland, Commercialization Manager, WASHINGTON STATE UNIVERSITY, United States3:10 Ultrathin wall technology in North America - Barriers and opportunities Mr. Michael Klestinec, Vice President, DOLLINS TOOL, INC., United States Mr. Andrew Sargisson, Sales Director, KEBO AG, Switzerland 3:40-4:10 Coffee break sponsored by: 4:10 PET thermoforming Mr. Ian Strachan, President, MGA SOUTHERN AFRICA PTY LTD., South Africa4:40 Quality control of barrier materials in plastic packaging Mr. Andreas Mueller, CEO, INTRAVIS, INC., United States5:10 Afternoon wrap up and questions5:15-6:45 Cocktail ReceptionHEADLINE SPONSORConference logo hereT H I N W A L LPACKAGING 2013FIVE GOOD REASONS WHY YOU SHOULD ATTEND:1.

The 10th anniversary conference will be a celebration of the success of the stretch and shrink film industry over the past ten years, with many special presentations and events. The decennial edition will take place from 16-18 April 2013 at the InterContinental Hotel in Berlin, Germany.The stretch and shrink film industry is among the most robust and dynamic flexible packaging segments in Europe.AMI’s Stretch & Shrink Film conference has established a position as the forum where the industry meets to discuss key trends and market features influencing business developments and profitability. This well-established event regularly attracts over 150 international delegates including the key players from Europe as well as participants from Asia, North and South America and the Middle East. Typically the attendees account for over 2 million tonnes of polymer purchase. As well as film producers, the whole supply chain, from resin suppliers through to distributors and final customers, also attend. AMI recently undertook detailed studies of both the European and global markets for the stretch film industry, giving it unrivalled insight into the key business and technical issues facing the industry today. Stretch & Shrink Film 2013 will build on that knowledge to provide an opportunity for the industry to meet and discuss current issues of concern. Consumption of stretch & shrink film is now 3 million tonnes/year in Europe. In the last 25 years it has been one of the success stories of the European plastics and packaging industry. Strong demand from consumer industries combined with a real competitive advantage against other plastics and traditional materials has resulted in rapidly increasing market demand. Also, changed logistic systems and an increase in the use of printed collation shrink film for point of sale display have stimulated growth.The conference will cover the main stretch applications for pallet wrap and silage wrap as well as addressing issues in the collation shrink, pallet shrink and the stretch hood arenas.Stretch & Shrink Film 2013 will also include a panel discussion which will aim to put these material and technology developments in the context of the challenging business environment stretch film producers and their customers operate in. Industry consultants AMI will provide a detailed overview of recent market studies which analyse the structural changes in the stretch & shrink film industry. Whatever your involvement in the stretch & shrink film industry, be it raw material supplier, production equipment manufacturer, stretch film producer, shrink film producer, converter or end-user, this event will provide an ideal opportunity to meet with like-minded professionals and find out about the latest European business trends.EARLY BIRD REGISTRATION OFFERRegister before 8th March 2013 and pay €950* saving €150* on the full price of €1100*.
