Background of the CPhI events
CPhI Worldwide was launched in 1990 as an international convention on pharmaceutical ingredients and intermediates. This inaugural CPhI attracted 250 visitors for the 16 exhibitors. Today this has grown to an unrivalled 20,000 industry professionals visiting some 1,500 exhibiting companies from over 110 countries. CPhI is the leading exhibition on pharmaceutical ingredients and allied industries. Each year the exhibition grows larger with exhibitors and visitors conducting significant levels of business at CPhI. Two sister events, ICSE and P-MEC now run alongside CPhI, a tripartite of events that is considered the must attend event for any individual or organisation within the pharmaceutical manufacturing community. Other CPhI launches were CPhI China in 2000, CPhI Japan in 2001,CPhI India in 2006 and in 2008 CPhI South America will be launched.
