The first edition of ADF&PCD New York, will be held on September 13-14, 2016, at the Altman Building and Metropolitan Pavilion, located at 135 West 18th Street in Manhattan.

ADF&PCD New York, hosted by Easyfairs Oriex, combines two shows in one—ADF, the Aerosol & Dispensing Forum; and PCD, Packaging of Perfume, Cosmetics & Design. Like the Paris edition, the exhibition will feature suppliers and manufacturers in synergistic markets.

Visitors will include packaging experts from R&D, innovation, development, purchasing, sourcing, production and quality control, marketing and general management.

Exhibitors will be showcasing the latest innovations, and more than 120 have signed on to be a part of the show.

Fifty-three percent of aerosols are used for cosmetics, according to the French Aerosols Council, so the ADF section is an ideal complement to the PCD area. ADF’s exhibitors include American Spraytech, Aptar Pharma, Ball Corp., Condensa, Exal Corp., Fareva, Lindal, Technopack and more.

PCD’s exhibitors include ABA Packaging, Albéa, Anisa International, Axilone, Baralan, Cameo Metal Products, Fusion Packaging, Heinz Glas USA, Inca, James Alexander, Leo Paper, Shya Hsin, Stoelzle Glass, Vsar Resources and more.
