ADF&PCD Paris will once again be taking place at the Parc des Expositions, Porte de Versailles, in Paris (Pavillon 7.2), from 30th to 31st January, 2019.

This exceptional event brings together professionals, suppliers, players, leaders and influencers from the world of aerosols, dispensing and packaging, who are invited to present their latest innovations, and exchange and share their views on challenges facing the sector.

This global packaging event is a unique concept that is now highly regarded by both the French and international professional community.

Each year, in the heart of Paris, representatives meet from the perfume and cosmetic, pharmaceutical, food, beverage, and automotive industries.

Allison McEntyre Gaharan, Division Director, describes ADF&PCD Paris as "a source of novelty and innovation for direct or indirect players in the packaging industry, be they suppliers or brand owners. It is THE event in the sector that also enables them to flesh out their address books. The hallmark of this event is, and remains, innovation, sharing, and a warm, friendly atmosphere".

The 2018 edition was a resounding success, attracting over 7000 visitors. The 2019 edition will enjoy 40% more floor space, with nearly 100 additional companies attending. The greater international presence will too be celebrated.
