A number of exhibitors of plastics, printing, packaging and food & beverage processing have expressed satisfaction over with the outcome of a three-day exhibition. They said that the show was a fruit of the law enforcing agencies months long efforts to restore peace and maintain law and order in the commercial and industrial hub of the country, wherein business community has taken a sigh of relief after a long spell of fear and terror.
They estimated that the 13th International Exhibition of Plastics, Printing, Packaging and 12th International edition of Food & Beverage Processing have fetched over 100 million dollar orders in the three day deals and bookings. The twin expos of technology and machineries ended on Thursday here at Karachi Expo Centre, which received tremendous response from trade and industry visitors on the penultimate day.
Chinese and Iranian exhibitors received good response as they signed many contracts of machinery supply to the local entrepreneurs. Machinery at most of the stalls showed the tag "sold out" with stalls holders brimming with joy after three most hectic days. Exhibitors and organisers hoped that if the peaceful conditions sustained, the industrial and commercial hustle bustle will surely return to Karachi.
