Greeting of mr. A. Lapshin, General Director of Sokolniki Culture & Exhibition Centre

Dear visitors and participants,

On behalf of your permanent partner, Sokolniki Culture & Exhibition Centre, and newly established MVK-International Exhibition Company, I congratulate you on the opening of LABELSHOW-2003, 9^th International Specialized Exhibition of materials, machinery, equipment and technologies for labels’ manufacturing and packages’ marking.

Our exhibition company is developing rapidly, and LABELSHOW-2003 is growing, too. Both exhibit space (this year the trade show will occupy six first-class halls of Sokolniki Culture & Exhibition Centre) and the number of participants are increasing. New companies joined traditional participants this year.

LABELSHOW is 9 years old in 2003. It means that the 10^th , jubilee show, will be held next year. That’s why we took the decision to enlarge the number of exhibition subjects already now.

In 2003 our company, jointly with the Interregional Association of Graphic Arts, forms the Salon of Digital Technologies, Screen Printing and Die Stamping, which will showcase finished products, special facilities and technologies.

The trade show will traditionally include special events: seminars, round tables and the 3d international conference “Russian Label Market in the 21^st century”. Professional competitions “Label – Russian Style” and “Sladky Korobok-2003” (“Sweet Box-2003”) will be held as usual, too.

I hope that your participation in the show will be effective and interesting. We, as Organizers, will do our best to provide additional services and to improve their quality.

Best regards,
A. Lapshin,
General Director of Sokolniki Culture & Exhibition Centre
