Pharmaceutical Industry Takes Center Stage in PACK Solutions
Challenge
Reston, Va.; Aug. 24, 2015 — The PACK Solutions Challenge will return to ​ PACK EXPO Las Vegas
(Sept. 28-30; Las Vegas Convention Center, Las Vegas)​ and the co-located Pharma EXPO with a focus
on issues facing the pharmaceutical industry, according to PMMI, The Association for Packaging and
Processing Technologies, and owner and producer of the PACK EXPO portfolio of trade shows.
“Every year the PACK Solutions Challenge tasks students from PMMI Partner Schools around the country
with finding solutions to real world packaging problems,” says Maria Ferrante, vice president of Education
& Workforce Development, PMMI. “With Pharma EXPO making its Las Vegas debut, it’s appropriate that
this year’s challenge should focus on the pharmaceutical industry.”
The annual PACK Solutions Challenge, sponsored this year by B&R Industrial Automation, pits teams of
packaging college students against each other in a competition to develop the best solution for a
particular packaging need.
In the competition’s 2015 edition, students will be tasked with developing a packaging solution for fictional
company “Innovative Pharmaceuticals Inc.” and its new fast-dissolving OTC product. Packaging mentors
from manufacturers exhibiting at the show will guide students in their efforts, and they’ll use
packexpolasvegas.com​ as one of their primary research tools. On site, they will visit booths and conduct
interviews to complete the project.
