In response to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and in accordance with recommendations from the Mexico Ministry of Health, PMMI, The Association for Packaging and Processing Technologies, has canceled EXPO PACK México.

Jim Pittas, PMMI president and CEO:
 

“The health and safety of our exhibitors and attendees are of the utmost importance to us, and we have concluded it is the right thing to do to make this tough decision on cancelation.”

“PMMI remains completely committed to the Latin American market and will be back in Mexico in 2021, with even more exciting education programs, networking opportunities, and a show floor filled with new materials, machinery, and technology.”

Show management will be reaching out to exhibitors with further details regarding their space payments for the show in the coming weeks.

Even though the in-person event is not taking place, all of the online components of EXPO PACK México will remain available to exhibitors and attendees, via expopackmexico.com.mx. Additional networking features to encourage attendees and exhibitors to connect virtually are coming soon.

Planning has begun on a series of free webinars on market trends, hosted in Spanish in conjunction with PMMI Media Group's Mundo PMMI magazine. The first webinar will address the impact of COVID-19 on the Latin American packaging industry.
