Showcasing GL BARRIER and cutting-edge sustainable packaging to end-users in Vietnam

Tokyo – Toppan, a global leader in communication, security, packaging, décor materials, and electronics solutions, will participate in VIETNAM Foodexpo 2022, which will be held at the Saigon Exhibition & Convention Center in Ho Chi Minh City from November 16 to 19.

Launched in 2015, VIETNAM Foodexpo is Vietnam’s largest food industry exhibition. It is organized by the Vietnam Trade Promotion Agency and aims to promote the food industry and strengthen international networks. The event was held every year between 2015 and 2019, but 2022 will be the first exhibition for three years after being suspended in 2020 and 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Toppan will present the Toppan Group’s sustainable packaging supply capabilities, barrier packaging, including GL BARRIER,1 and other solutions to food producers, other end users, and packaging manufacturers from Vietnam and Southeast Asia.

“Due to demographics and economic growth in Vietnam and other Southeast Asian countries, we anticipate significant demand in the future for GL BARRIER, transparent high barrier films, and sustainable packaging that uses those films,” said Shinichi Kukita, Senior General Manager of Toppan’s Global Packaging business. “By building on our extensive converting experience and leveraging packaging development capabilities centered on the comprehensive range of GL BARRIER brand products, which enjoy a leading share of the global market, Toppan wants to be the best partner of customers in the Vietnam market, meeting all their packaging needs. Joining Vietnam’s biggest food expo will help us raise the profile of Toppan’s sustainable and other packaging products and expand our business. We look forward to seeing everyone at the Toppan booth.”
