Greeting of mr. S.G. Mitin, Deputy Minister of Industry, Science and Technologies of the Russian Federation Doctor of Economics

On behalf of the Ministry of Industry, Science and Technologies of the Russian Federation I welcome visitors and participants of LABELSHOW-2003, 9^th International Exhibition.

LABELSHOW-2003 plays the leading role in organization and development of the label production – the market of high quality printed production – in Russia. This year about 400 companies from 30 countries will demonstrate modern technologies and equipment for printing of labels. The trade show was highly appreciated by Russian and foreign exhibitors, international organizations. It joined the list of the most respected exhibitions in the world.

LABELSHOW is traditionally a place for consolidating partner relations and for establishing new business contacts.

It’s a pleasure to see that the number of Russian participants grows every year. It signifies that the label and packaging industries are developing rapidly in Russia.

The show will include numerous workshops, conferences and presentations. Traditionally, “Label – Russian Style” Contest will be held within the framework of the exhibition.

I wish all exhibitors, organizers and visitors effective work and success in developing the industry.

S.G. Mitin,
Deputy Minister of Industry,
