SPONSORS INVITATION

PLATINUM SPONSORS

Dear colleagues and friends,

On behalf of the PRIME Summit 2019 organising committee, it is my pleasure to invite all of the Packaging Industry leaders, academicians, business and technology delegates from all over the world to attend PRIME Summit, September 10-11, 2019, at Conrad, Dubai, United Arab Emirates. I feel humbled and grateful to have the opportunity that I’ve had over the past couple of years to work with some amazing people. I think, at this point, It is an honour and a pleasure to have you and your colleagues part of this unique platform for the indistry. Packaging sales supported by increased investment in food production and processing, significant investments in new packaging converting capacity and increased availability of locally produced and competitively priced base substrates are driving this burgeoning industry whilst on the flipside, regional slow-down and geopolitical bottlenecks are getting cleared as we approach a promising Q4 and a highly expected business growth as we approach 2020. The MENA packaging market was earlier valued at approximately $41.1 billion in 2014 whilst during the period 2014–19, it grew at a CAGR of 5.0% to $52.4 billion. Smithers Pira report now shows how a market valued at over $60.1 billion in 2017 will increase to approach $71.5 billion by 2022. Innovations and multiple SKUs have made way for multiple options to consumers on the shelf. All of these developments will be highlighted at PRIME Summit 2019. The summit is focused on the challenges and opportunities for Brand Owners, Packaging Converters and key suppliers to the industry with loads of benefits across the entire packaging value chain.

PRIME Summit 2019 t is a joint initiative of Packaging MEA and its esteemed sponsors and partners to help the industry stakeholders take stock of their current and future decisions to sustain, consolidate and grow their business. The 2-day event will bring together more than 200 packaging industry professionals, besides selected Government Officials, Packaging Organisations, Compliance and Certification Firms, Brand Owners, Supply Chain and Procurement Managers, Technology Consultants together to highlight the biggest investment opportunities in the packaging industry. With a proactive push to sustain and grow, PRIME Summit 2019 will help the industry around the MEA region to innovate, develop and modernize their equipment, infrastructure and systems to boost their capacity and to accommodate the required growing volumes of business. Packaging MEA has also been endeavoring in the quest to forge regional cooperation and improvement of current government policies between Brand Owners, Converters and Suppliers. PRIME Summit is the only event platform for local, regional as well as international packaging industry stakeholders to seize and have a firm hold on the MEA regional market. With loads of benefits across the entire packaging value chain, we look forward to welcoming you to this exciting International summit. We hope that you will find the conference and your stay in Dubai both valuable and enjoyable. Warm Regards,

PRIME Summit has been designed with greater care based on extensive research on topics of critical interest to the packaging community. The best speakers and participants have been chosen for each of the key topics so that delegates can get a 360 degree exposition of the topics. The stress is on expounding emerging concepts and solutions to important problems currently being faced by the industry and society and providing pointers to the future. The technical team of Packaging MEA hopes you will find PRIME Summit topical and very useful in your work and business.

Kaunain ShahidiTechnology EditorPackaging MEA

Packaging has evolved tremendously from being just a method to keep products safe and secure in transit from manufacturer to the end consumer and in today’s competitive market place, it has become the vital tool to make products the face in the crowd rather than face of the crowd. As a consumer’s first point of contact with the product, packaging plays a critical role in building brand differentiation, awareness and positioning the products in an effective manner to win the consumers loyalty.This session has been designed to inspire you to think packaging in different ways and to stimulate new insights to help you to unlock your own creativity related to packaging design and innovations

Francois MartinSenior Communication AdvisorBOBST

Industry 4.0 is a new concept and it will impact packaging production. The Industry 4.0 principles will shape a new future for packaging productionAt PRIME MEA, we will share how data access will change packaging production. The future will be built around connectivity and data exchange from machine to machine and between all key stakeholders (brand owners, converters, tool makers, retailers). The digitalization of processes from the original PDF to the final box or pouch will be the new reality. The machine automation will further grow incorporating Artificial Intelligence and predictive and preventive maintenance. Will it all happen overnight? No. Industry 4.0 opens a new era where a well-established industry will reinvent itselfBOBST has been on the forefront of innovations for almost 130 years and will drive packaging production 4.0.

Samir Khoudja Managing DirectorBobst Africa and Middle East

We are constantly trying to find solutions to the challenges faced in the packaging industry today - rapid changes in technology, shortage of and rising cost of raw materials, shorter time-to-market and new challenges of producing quality products within a circular economy. Connecting with the stakeholders is the key to finding the right solutions and I’m so glad that Packaging MEA has been bringing the industry together. We’ve been working with them closely and now that they have elevated their Packaging MEA Forum to PRIME Summit with conference, exhibition and awards, we are excited to join hands in meeting the expectations of all the stakeholders of the industry.

Sante ConselvanPresident, FTA Europe

Packaging is a phenomenon that dramatically grew over the last 20 years. It is already part of our lives: it changes as we change our way of living and it adapts to the different necessities depending on the age and culture of worldwide consumers.

Circular Economy is inspiring us to modify our approach towards the package of any product after we use it. This means that Brand Owners, Designers, Printers, Converters and Consumers must work together to create the best packaging without harming the environment.

The Packaging Print community, using different process technologies, needs more effective guidelines and deeper knowledge than in the past to look to future changes as concerns Automation.

As FTA Europe, we are glad to be associated with “Packaging MEA” and PRIME Summit 2019 to extend our support and knowledge helping to lay the foundations for establishing a MEA Packaging Association.

The 2-day summit will be focused on the challenges and opportunities for Brand Owners, Packaging Converters and key suppliers to the industry with loads of benefits across the entire packaging value chain. Let us together unpack the world of packaging.

Eric PavoneBusiness Director,Web-fed Business UnitBOBST Group

Consumption of flexible packaging is growing both globally and regionally in MEA but the industry is currently undergoing a major transformation and is under pressure to respond to the pledges of major brand owners to make all plastic packaging either reusable, recyclable, compostable or biodegradable by 2025. This is a challenge as currently multi-material packaging structures offer the high barrier properties that the industry requires to maintain shelf life but are not recyclable. At PRIME Summit 2019, BOBST will speak about ground-breaking solutions in this area and how they along with pioneering industry partners have taken the first step towards helping converters and brand owners to achieve a circular economy.

Biju GeorgeGeneral Sales ManagerHeidelberg Gulf Est.

Continued globalization, rising demand for different types of packaging, multiple SKUs and a shorter time to market are being accompanied by increases in complexity and thus the risk of errors in production operations. At PRIME Summit 2019 Dubai, Heidelberg and its partners would demonstrate the benefits of Zero Defect Packaging. Our product specialists would present case studies on how to master this growing complexity by creating a smart print shop and using automated quality assurance solutions.

Introductory Message:

Automating the future of Package Print: “Workflow Automation”

“With the continued growth in demand for printed packaging, as more consumers move away from the ‘brown paper bag’ market and into the world of branded goods, so converters must improve their efficiency to cope. Running speeds are only part of the answer – the real solution will come from improved efficiency, and this inevitably means a greater degree of automation – from initial job enquiry through to delivery of finished product. But, this will all come at a price and not just a financial one – the industry needs a clear roadmap for the future and a strategy that is both flexible and practical.”
