The ADF&PCD and PLD Paris tradeshows are a must-attend event, bringing together a large number of buyers from the perfume and cosmetics sector, as well as from the pharmaceutical, food, wine & spirits and automotive industries, among others. This year's addition of PLD - Packaging of Premium & Luxury Drinks - will further enhance synergies and technology transfers between the three events.
The event offers a shared vision of the packaging sector, initiating a dialogue with all its representatives on many of the challenges, both newly emerging and long-standing, faced by multi-disciplinary brand teams. ADF&PCD and PLD Paris 2020 will serve as a forum for sharing ideas and innovations.
The exhibition area is also organized to enable cross-pollination between ADF&PCD and PLD exhibitors. Suppliers working in several vertical markets are located in a central avenue at the junction of the two exhibition spaces.
An exclusive gallery of Pentawards winners will also showcase the best projects awarded in 2019, from all horizons of the packaging world.
For the first time, the ADF&PCD and PLD Paris 2020 trade show benefits from a conference program developed in close collaboration with an official program committee, made up of leading industry figures. It includes experts from some of the biggest names in cosmetics, beverages and personal care, representing brands such as Beiersdorf, Coty, Diageo, Edrington, Interparfums, Kao, Unilever and many others.
