[00:00:00.000] Good morning, Stéphane. How are you?

[00:00:02.080] I’m very good. I’m very good. Good morning to you.

[00:00:04.950] I want to thank you for inviting me to come along with you at Paxexpo, but I have- Pleasure. A couple of questions.

[00:00:13.330] Oh, there you go.

[00:00:14.340] What is Pack Expo? It’s going to be my first time. I have no idea what the show is.

[00:00:19.770] Pack Expo is an international show, trade show,/conferences in Chicago, but also in the different parts It’s a little bit of United States, Mexico, Asia. So it’s all over the world. But this time, this year, it’s in Chicago, and it’s big. It’s the whole Plasmic Hormic, if you’ve been there before, Every All is used for PAD Expo. Pad Expo is bringing in over four days about 45,000 people, attendees, to come and visit roughly 25, 2600- Exposers? Yes, yes, exhibitors. So there’s a lot of people. So of course, Lid is one of them. And I invite And I invited you, but I’m inviting all of our viewers to come and chat with us. The two of us are going to be there, but we’ll be supported by our national Chuck guy from our office in Atlanta. Tommy and Raphael from Montreal are also going to be there with us. And it’s in November. It’s coming soon. It’s in November third to sixth. So again, Chicago, McCarmic place, November third to sixth. And I think we’re located on the North Hall I want to say, or I’ll look at it, I want to say 5586. I think 5586 North Hall is the lid boot.

[00:02:10.100] Nice. I’m guessing by the name pack expo means packaging stuff, but what are we going to see there? What’s the goal of this exposition?

[00:02:22.370] It is a PMMI Expo. Pmmi for the Association of Packaging and Processing Technology. So it’s not just the packaging part, but the manufacturing. And over the year, they created seven different areas in the show, and one of them being the Logistic Pavilion. And that’s where we are. We are, okay. So we’re in the Logistic Pavilion. That includes warehousing, material handling, inventory management and controls, distribution, logistics services and transportation, dock and warehouses. So all together, so all of the logistic pavilion exhibitors are all together within an area that is called the logistic pavilion. So there’s the packages, there’s a container, there’s a processing, there’s a reusable packaging, there’s a confectionery pavilion and the healthcare pavilion. So there are seven different pavil within Paxexpo. One of them is the Logistic Pavilion. And I was surprised to find out that there’s a hundred of us in the in the Pavilion in the logistic point.

[00:03:47.990] Because in my mind, when I’m hearing pack expo, I was thinking like autobagger or print and apply machine to help warehouses with their e-commerce exposition, deliveries, I should say. And I was not thinking that we would be able to see seven type of packaging experience.

[00:04:09.450] Let’s call it that way. Yeah. So it really goes from one hand to the other in supply chain. It used to be the very last part of the manufacturing, which is the packaging part. So it used to be, that’s how it started, being the packaging part of it. And it It grew into the processing. So it became the processing and packaging. And it’s now going with the logistics pavilion, it goes into your raw material coming in, storing it, and then how do you get that stuff out after it’s packaged, after it’s package boxed, palletized. Well, this is where this is where logistics takes in, right?

[00:04:55.400] We’re getting in the picture, yes.

[00:04:56.080] Exactly. That’s our speciality. Yeah.

[00:04:59.670] Who should attend?

[00:05:01.580] I want to say you don’t have to be a manufacturer, but of course, manufacturers are attending. So a lot of them are, like I said, health care, food. A lot is food and health care. But I mean, as we know, it’s not industry-specific because when it comes to the logistic pavilion, you’ll have a dock equipment, consultants, of course, but you’ll have racking equipment, you’ll have dock equipment, you’ll have all of the equipment, automation, everything that is required, either prior your manufacturing processes or after your packaging processes.

[00:05:48.530] Oh, quite interesting. We’ll see how many people from Chicago that can come see us because it’s-Of course, all of our viewers from Chicago. Please add a comment. So we’ll be very happy to meet you over there. Thank you very much for the invite. Can’t wait to go.

[00:06:06.590] Looking forward to it. Thank you. I hope the wind is going to be down a little bit, but we’ll be happy to welcoming every one of you. See you there.
