PPMA Trade Show review
The PPMA trade show is the UK’s main Process and Packaging automation show held every year at the NEC in Birmingham. The NEC is accessible from Birmingham International Station making it a very convenient venue to access.
The show in 2024 was in a single hall, in this case, Hall 5, which was similar in size to one hall at LogiMAT so it can be finished in a single day if you’re organized, but easily doable over 2 days if you prefer a leisurely visit.
Whilst impressed by the number of solutions and automation technologies available at PPMA, the focus was on packaging at the production end-of-line, rather than ecommerce/warehouse fulfilment packaging, although this was to be expected
