Message from The President - APF, Mr Prapat Vanapitaksa

Since our formation in 1967 APF has been performing its mandate with a well-wish to render developments and constructiveness to the Packaging Community, first to the region and when possible to the globe for all. Undoubtedly packaging is an article now unavoidable in every pace of human life having remarkable role as well as impacts to human society and now, to world’s environment. For its need, since times long ago much developments have been conducted until today in all areas-technology, material, design, function including R&D and currently the environment. Our APF community has an amount of resources which may I say is still not sufficient for our target, when combined with external resources will enable our APF community to be productive as wished. As developed by our dear member now we have our own website which will serve as a good tool for our activities. Everything shall be pooled thereto for us to implement to our goal. From our joint-action events until now dear members can be assured our union still exists as ever and that will be nutritious for us to effort further.

We the office bearers are now joining to work out more activities which will be creative and drive our community to a higher resourcefulness. For example, this year events such as conferences, seminars, consultancies etc. both locally and internationally will be organized as well as more articles and feauture will be added to our website documentation for example and we can hope our APF will be more colorful. Dear members, the all said above will be successful or not will surely depend on our unity and spirits of contribution.

Thank you
