INDUSTRY NEWS
Pharmaceutical packaging event Pharmapack has been acquired by Canon Communications llc, which publishes this magazine. The Paris show, which was successfully converted in 2007 from a biennual to an annual format, will be co-located with the BIOMEDevice Europe conference and exhibition in 2009. Devoted to the combination devices and biopharmaceuticals sector, BIOMEDevice debuted in San Jose, CA, USA, in October 2007.
Pharmapack serves Europe’s €6 billion pharmaceutical packaging marketplace with a special focus on the rapidly expanding sector of drug-delivery packaging. While the overall European pharmaceutical packaging industry is growing at 6% per year, advanced packaging such as prefillable syringes, inhalers, smart packaging, government-required unit doses, and high-barrier and anticounterfeit packaging is experiencing double-digit increases. Established in 1997, Pharmapack is the recognized forum for senior R&D, operations, and production executives from Europe’s leading pharmaceutical manufacturers. The executive-level conference addresses a wide range of emerging technologies and regulatory issues, while the trade show features suppliers to this sector.
