Inaugurating the show along with the general council members of AIFMP, Natchiappan said, “The growth of print in India is an amazing story. While other industries are growing at less than 8%, printing and packaging industry continue to grow at 12-15% CAGR. I am sure that by 2020, printing and packaging industry will be counted amongst the top contributors to the GDP of the country, and will be one of the biggest industries of India.”

On the occasion, SR Sharma, chairman of Pamex managing committee said, “Pamex 2013 is a show with a national repute. We are quite confident that even this edition of the show will not disappoint, and in fact attract over 30000 visitors.”
 
AMSG Ashokan, the new president of AIFMP said, “Pamex is one of the important events related to our industry. It is like Drupa and Ipex but on a national level. We intend to make printers and small converters to visit Pamex who cannot participate in international exhibitions and upgrade their knowledge and invest in latest technology.
