Ms Gabellini Review of the 5th edition of the international conference, exhibition & networking event Blow Moulding 2021 by Noru Tsalic, Nortal Consulting & Conference Chairman, Blow Moulding 2021 Every year, the international Blow Moulding conference, exhibition and networking event brings together the entire supply chain associated with this industry: from brand owners and retailers to designers, manufacturers of packaging components (preforms, bottles and other containers, as well as caps and closures, labels and sleeves, etc.), providers of equipment and technology, suppliers of raw materials and additives – not forgetting of course recyclers, sustainability experts, academic researchers and regulators. This enables experts and leaders from different areas of activity to interact, explore new collaborations and, ultimately, accelerate progress and innovation. The 2021 edition took place in Brussels, Belgium, on December 1-2, as a face-to-face event under special pandemic-related health and security precautions. The Conference Foyer hosted not only the refreshment breaks, but also a lively tabletop exhibition. Exhibitors had the opportunity to display products, samples, posters and other marketing material, as well as engaging the attendees in interesting conversations.
