Linpac Packaging has announced the launch of its new Fresh! Packaging Seminar Series, which will be held across Europe during autumn this year to support fruit and produce, meat and bakery packers and retailers.
According to the group, it will run five free-of-charge, invitation-only seminars in Paris, Madrid, Warsaw, Frankfurt and Birmingham to provide fresh thinking for the packaging industry and deliver insights on future trends in food retailing, technology, safety and the environment.
Linpac said that it was keen to support its customer base during volatile economic times, aiming to bring new insights into the potential future shape of the packaging industry and what customers need to do to remain competitive and efficient.
From changes in the retailing landscape to new materials innovation, a range of key industry speakers will share their experiences at the events to show what the year 2020 and beyond may look like, and how packers and retailers can grow their businesses to meet the challenges of the future.
'As a company we know that an extended recession makes focusing on the future difficult but we also know that the best business ideas have historically been born out of challenging times,' said Joanna Stephenson, vice-president, marketing and innovation at the group. 'At Linpac we are keen to share our thoughts and those of renowned industry speakers, to support our customer base in driving efficiency, safety and innovation to benefit the entire packaging value chain.'
