"Propak Africa 2019 has been a fantastic journey for us. Normally we will sit after the show and go through all the potential customers we picked up during the show and then look to close deals, but this year, on the first day, within two hours of the show doors opening we sold four machines!"

"We come to Propak Africa in Johannesburg whenever it is on, but this year has been the best show with so much interest from customers and suppliers. It is the ideal place for us to showcase our offerings and what we can provide to customers. This year we took a bigger stand and used it to show a recycling line. The movement on the stand has attracted so many visitors and we actually sold the line at the show to a new customer! The quality leads we have generated from the rest of Africa has also been very good. We will be back - with a bigger stand in 2022"

"We focused on recycling this year with a recycling machine on display and we actually sold the machine at the show to a customer in Botswana. We also sold another one to a local customer. The quantity and the quality of the visitors this year are excellent, with decision makers from all over South Africa and Africa"
