Europe's premier Extractables & Leachables conference...
We hope you enjoyed Extractables & Leachables and Plastics & Paper in Contact with Foodstuffs 2009! These co-located events were again a great success and attracted a large audience of the leading regulators and food and pharma packaging industry professionals.
Here's what some of you thought of this year's event:
"Interesting difference in two conferences but an excellent combination which should be kept the same in the future. A win-win combi"
Chris de Ries, Notox BV
"The best conference to bring together all interested in the field"
Anna Gergely, Steptoe & Johnson LLP
"Again this conference was a great occasion to meet regulators, laboratories, consultants, industry representatives, in fact all groups which are involved in the chain"
Norbert Petereit, Sasol Wax GmbH
"From an organisational perspective the best event I've been to"
Bram Jongen, Helvoet Pharma
