Aerosol Forum comes to New York

Written on: October 2, 2015 by SprayTM

Aerosol & Dispensing Forum and Packaging of Perfume, Cosmetics & Design (ADF & PCD), the specialty trade show from Paris 12 years running, plans to bring its blend of aerosol and dispensing suppliers, beauty packaging manufacturers and high-level conferences to New York next year.

Designed by the French and U.S. teams for the Americas markets, the first edition of ADF & PCD in New York City will be held Sept. 13 and 14, 2016, at The Altman Building & Metropolitan Pavilion located in Manhattan, according to Aurore Domange, Event Director, ADF&PCD New York.

The core positioning of the new event is its two shows in one offering, based on synergistic markets. Aerosol & Dispensing Forum serves various markets, including technical applications, paint, personal care, household, food, pharma and cosmetics; these fields are eager to seek innovations in packaging, dispensing, applicators and technology transfer.

“The launch of our New York show is in response to industry feedback requesting we bring our special expert meeting place from Paris to the U.S.,” said Domange. “We are the future of aerosol, dispensing and beauty packaging and we are very pleased to now be closer to the North American market.”

The international gathering will help enable packaging experts from R&D, innovation, development, purchasing, sourcing, production and quality control, marketing and general management to take stock of current trends and innovations.
