NETHERLANDS - To understand why Asia was able to sidestep the ‘global’ financial crisis and how they might still be able to grab a slice of the region’s booming markets, European converters are gathering in Gouda, The Netherlands next week to learn from one of Asia’s leading experts on its packaging industry.
The Netherlands Packaging Centre (NVC) has organized a Professional Lecture titled ‘Packaging Drivers in Asia’, to be held on 15 November 2010 at the NVC Netherlands Packaging Centre in Gouda, The Netherlands.
During this half-day event, Stuart Hoggard – a recognized authority with over 16 years’ experience of the Asian packaging industry and sustainable packaging in the region – will speak on the diversity of Asia’s packaging growth markets and the new post-crisis ‘World Order’ that is re-defining traditional export markets and driving regional packaging growth.
He will explain to delegates how they can take advantage of ASEAN (Association of South East Asian Nations)’s free trade area (AFTA) and the China-ASEAN free trade area (CHAFTA) to expand their production and sales networks and lower costs.
