Italian exports to Russia continue to grow

Upak Italia has been staged in Moscow since 1984: it will be 30 years in 2014.

Its conjunction with Upakovka, started a few year later in 1997, has turned Upakovka/Upak talia into the gateway to the crucial Russian market for Italian and German manufacturers of food processing, converting, package printing and packaging technology.

Besides a considerable participation of Italian and German companies, over time Upakovka/UpakItalia has seen an increasing number of players coming from other countries.

Once again a total of 53 Italian companies will take part in this exhibition, covering a wide range of products spanning from food processing to packaging, converting and package printing.

The good trend of the Italian participation at Upakovka/UpakItalia reflects positive trends in Italian processing-packaging-printing and converting technology export to Russia. The industry of processing and packaging closed the first 9 months of 2013 with a +12,33% increase in export of technology to Russia.
