East Afripack – the packaging and processing exhibition for the East Africa market, scheduled for September 9th to 12th in Nairobi, Kenya, will now enjoy the support of PMMI – a trade association representing over 600 packaging and processing machinery, materials, components and containers suppliers and the organizer of the PACKEXPO trade shows.

“We’re very excited about this new venture with Ipack-Ima - says Charles D. Yuska, president & CEO, PMMI -. We’re entering East Africa at a time when the economic landscape is changing and seeing new growth areas”.

Combined, the EAC nations have a real GDP of more than $43 billion, and East Africa’s middle class has more than tripled over the last three decades.
