Two Associations Endorse Packaging Expo



Women in Packaging, Inc., and Consolidated Distributors, Inc., are urging their members to participate in the exposition set for Oct. 4-6, 2006, in Chicago's McCormick Place.

JoAnn Hines, founder of Kennesaw, GA-based Women In Packaging, observed, "Women In Packaging is proud to endorse and support DistriPakUSA. We feel that the distribution channel for packaging products has not had a concentrated environment conducive to do business in until the birth of this show. Our members will participate in all the show has to offer and look forward to the growth DistriPakUSA will provide to the industrial and foodservice packaging distribution channel."

Susan Vinson, president of Consolidated Distributors, Monroe, LA, said DistriPakUSA is a great opportunity and will be highly valued amongst her preferred suppliers and membership.

"For the distributor of foodservice disposables and foodservice packaging-related products, there is not a single show that is dedicated to these areas. DistriPakUSA, which will be co-located with ISSA/INTERCLEAN in 2006, will bring together suppliers-manufacturers and distributors of foodservice disposables and packaging. This will be an invaluable timesaver for CDI's distributor members," she said.
