Taipei International Packaging Industry exhibition has jointed with Food Taipei and Foodtech Taipei together. Its venue hosted 135 domestic and international manufacturers who used 391 trade show booths— a growth in the scale of 7.14% and 7.12%, respectively over the previous show. It featured a full selection of packaging machinery and materials. However, with the positive performance of exports to emerging markets like India, Russia, Brazil and Vietnam, the total export of Taiwanese machinery products is expected to achieve medium growth of 10% in value for 2008.
