| VinCenzo at Emballage |
|
|
|
It's mid-November, and the VinCenzo crew has once again hopped the big pond, this time to attend Emballage 2000 in Paris, France. This year's motto is "Pack the World," and after seeing the crowds at the show, we're hardly in any position to argue with that sentiment. Held every other year, Emballage is one of the largest packaging shows in the world, bringing in over 2,500 exhibitors from 43 countries. In fact, over the course of the five day convention, over 105,000 visitors are expected to attend. |

For years, VinCenzo has worked in Europe to develop a multitude of manufacturing and design resources, and though the fruits of those labors have historically been directed towards the American market, in the words of Keith Armato, VinCenzo's CEO, "This show kicks off VinCenzo's move to bring our innovative packaging and services to the European market. We'll also be in Cologne, Germany for the ISM show in January, and we'll be announcing more shows soon." |

| It's Monday evening, and account representative Joe Marlovits is extremely excited about how the show is going. "This show is really spectacular. A huge range of industries and countries are represented here. I've been chatting with people from Moscow, Israel, South Africa, Spain... everywhere... and they're all very impressed by what we have to offer. |

Joe continues, "They're also covering a huge range of industries, though most of the interest seems to be coming from the specialty food and confectionary markets. I think they're all realizing just how unique and unusual of a packaging company we are. In particular, they're impressed by our printing quality, and the extreme diversity of designs and options we have to offer. The people who are currently working with other tin manufacturers have expressed that they've already used most of the few designs available to them, and those who are looking into using tin for for the first time have been disappointed with what seems to be a very limited number of options. We're showing them thousands of different shapes and sizes, all customizable, and they're impressed. |

We have no idea WHAT these people were selling... but it looks cool.

| "But it's also been a learning experience for us. We're really excited to be moving into the European market, and as people come to learn more about us, we're learning more about what they're looking for. What we're finding is that we have something currently unavailable in the European market."
VinCenzo will be exhibiting at Emballage through Friday, November 24th. We can be found at booth B30-B7, in the USA Pavilion, to the left as you enter Hall 5. Stop by to say hello and have a look, or if you can't make it, drop us a line at sales@cenzo.com and we'll get right back to you!

| What would a trip to Paris be without a stop at Fauchon to stock up on pantry supplies? After an hour of stuffing bags with fine mustards, vinegars, oils, and spices of every kind, the Big Vincenz fell upon this year's special recommendation. |

We heartily endorse Mousse d'Oie, or as shown on the English side of the can, Goose Mousse. Priced at an affordable 46FF, Goose Mousse is both tasty to eat and fun to say. We're sure you'll enjoy it as much as we do... and that's a Big Vincenz guarantee. |

|
Goose Mousse... yessss
