Algeria is an excellent example of innovation and growth of the packaging and printing industry in the region. The challenges for the next 10 years will be: quality, productivity, agility, durability of machinery, education and respect for the environment.

With investments of €246 million, Algeria is the largest importer of packaging technology in Africa and the Middle East, followed by South Africa (€175 million) and Egypt (€168 million). The figures encourage us to follow up our efforts at first hand to ensure that we are able to meet the needs of our customers.

With a clear focus on the future, plast & printpack alger is a thought-provoking tool that asks essential questions about what the industry needs to do to keep pace with the latest trends.

At printpack & plast alger 2020 we spoke to many delegates across a wide range of industry sectors, but the same themes consistently emerged, namely the need for greater digitalization, automation and connectivity. These are major areas of focus for us and it was a wonderful opportunity to discuss many of the new BOBST technologies that can help brand owners to meet customer expectations. We see the Africa and Middle East region as one of huge potential growth, and we are already helping to provide a competitive advantage to many customers in the region.

Algeria is an excellent example of industry growth and innovation in the region and the trade show was an inspiring, forward-looking event, which dealt with the important questions, particularly around what the industry in the region needs to do to keep pace with the major trends. One of the key topics that came up in many conversations was the need for good education in the printing and packaging industry to ensure we can all advance our knowledge in a rapidly-moving more digital world. BOBST – along with many of its industry partners – has an important role to play here.

Concerning the current situation in Algeria we are very enthusiastic and optimistic, because it can be a reason for development and surpassing. The Algerian economy needs companies like ours in order to put in place the necessary means for the manufacture and production of all types of objects in our country. It is therefore important to reduce imports and especially to allow Algerian entrepreneurs to realize their projects.

Our commercial objectives through this exhibition are diverse and multiple. On the one hand to make known our machines, moulds and technologies to the interested parties and on the other hand to target new customers and make Algerian entrepreneurs aware of the wide choice of innovative projects they can accomplish.

The strong points of the exhibition are the fact that it is an international meeting, a crossroads of technology and know-how. This allows Algerian entrepreneurs to be up to date on the various global innovations.
