PACex International Announces Debut at Toronto's National Trade Centre, May 24 - 26, 2005


PACex International, Canada's premier biennial packaging, food process, material handling and logistics exhibition, announced today its move to the National Trade Centre at Exhibition Place in Toronto, Canada on May 24-26, 2005.

This exciting decision reflects the strong performance of PACex International 2003, the most successful event in the show's 50 year history. The decision to move PACex International 2005 to the National Trade Centre leverages the show's new expanded format and galvanizes its position as one of Canada's largest and most successful industrial trade shows.

"To ensure the show's increasing success in its new expanded mega-format, we believe it absolutely essential that it be held at the best exhibition faclity Canada has to offer - the National Trade Centre," says PACex International President Alan M. Robinson.

"This change of venue signals our firm commitment to building PACex International and taking it to an entirely new level as Canada's premier industrial show servicing the packaging, food process, material handling and logistics sectors. Offering over one million square feet of space and state-of-the-art infrastructure, the National Trade centre provides an unbeatable exhibition platform with an unparalleled location in the heart of downtown Toronto from which to grow" says Robinson.

"This change of venue is clearly the biggest thing to happen to PACex International in its 50 year history and we look forward to welcoming our existing and new exhibitors to the National Trade Centre for PACex International 2005."
