Personal Care and Homecare Ingredients (PCHi) will return to the Shanghai World Expo Exhibition & Convention Center (SWEECC) from 26-28 February 2020. Reed Sinopharm Exhibitions (RSE) has placed a final call for submissions for the upcoming 4th edition of the PCHi Fountain Awards, and nominations have been streaming in steadily.
The PCHi Fountain Awards seeks to elevate research capabilities and development of innovative technologies. It recognises companies for excelling in ingredient technology, packaging, and equipment, as well as individuals for their personal contributions to the industry-at-large. The Awards has gained traction across the globe since its inauguration, and winners have enjoyed many opportunities to showcase their winning innovations across many media outlets internationally.
“The quality of entries we’ve received over the years have been stellar and the competition has become increasingly intense, demonstrating how the industry is moving towards a heavier emphasis on innovation — whether in product design or beyond,” said Peter Liu, PCHi Project Manager at RSE. “We hope that through the Fountain Awards, PCHi can continue to inspire wave after wave of industry professionals to reach greater heights through their inventive ideas.”
This year, to better address industry movements, the Awards have been fine-tuned to comprise a total of four main categories. The Awards is open to all PCHi 2020 exhibitors at no fee. RSE invites both established industry players and newcomers with exciting and innovative products or technologies launched between January 2018 and October 2019 to submit their entries before 29 November 2019.
