PHARMA Pro&Pack Special Indian pharmaceutical industry is experiencing tremendous growth and the contribution of pharmaceutical machinery manufacturers towards this cannot be overlooked. The growth in advancement and up-gradation of technology in machinery has been faster in India. With almost low technology offerings in the initial stage, the Indian machinery today is considered as one that can offer value added engineering with integration of new technologies. The number of joint ventures between foreign and Indian machinery manufacturers is a testimony to the fact that the Indian machinery industry understands the stringent need of pharmaceutical industry and that it can produce international quality at affordable prices. To work towards the benefit of the manufacturers of pharmaceutical machinery and give encouragement and recognition to the small scale machinery manufacturers, Indian Pharma Machinery Manufacturers Association (IPMMA) was founded on 2001 as a trade association to represent specifically for the Indian pharmaceutical machinery manufacturers. IPMMA has been committed towards achieving common goals for the benefit of the association members. PHARMA Pro&Pack Expo 2013, the exhibition of the industry has now become a reality with the initiatives of the Indian Pharma Machinery Manufacturers’ Association (IPMMA). PHARMA Pro&Pack Expo 2013, Mumbai will be an official platform for the Indian and international pharma-allied manufacturers and suppliers to exhibit and explore the trade opportunities within Indian and global pharmaceutical industry.
