PACE Asia

Due to popular request PACE series will expand into Asia and its launch will take place on 6 – 8 November 2012, Singapore.

The current economic climate has caused companies to look hard at the way they operate and how consumer behaviour has changed. The current business environment is very different to what it was only 5 years ago. Competition is intensifying and companies have to bring their products to market more quickly in a more cost efficient manner. At the same time, firms have to contend with state-imposed sustainability targets and fewer available resources to allocate towards innovation.

This has lead many companies to look towards new shores for new opportunities; the complexity of manufacturing; procurement and legislation challenges alongside cultural differences in this area have created many opportunities as well as difficulties for the packaging departments of western and local brands.

PACE Asia will identify and assist you in overcoming some of these challenges as well providing the perfect platform to create excellent business contacts.
