Pickle Packers International: Successful Annual Meeting 2011

The PPI Annual Meeting at Las Vegas (26.10.2011–28.10.2011) was a meeting point for pickle packers from all over the world. BOGK was represented by Alfred Paulsen, Prof. Dr. Dietmar Breithaupt (Rich. Hengstenberg GmbH und Co. KG) und Christoph Freitag.

The congress provided excellent opportunity to meet entrepeneurs and scientists among the 250 participants. There were 23 presentations given in 9 sessions on agriculture, politics, sourcing, manufacturing and technology and many other topics.

BOGK association director Christoph Freitag gave a talk on Managing Food Crises: Lessons from the E.coli outbreak in Germany 2011. (There are downloads available of the slides and the text of the presentation.)

In July 2012 PPI and BOGK plan to organize a field trip through Germany – the heart of the European pickle industry.
