Engineers Day, one of the latest additions to the Hispack24 programme of activities, was presented on Tuesday 19 March at the Enginyers Industrials de Catalunya (EIC) headquarters. This project, which will be held on 8 May in the International Business Center (Hall 3) on the second day of the show, will recognise the work of engineers who innovate and design solutions applied to the packaging sector.
Engineers Day will have a very full agenda with, among others, the following events:
