The northern German industry meets at Empack

Regional trade fairs for regional companies - that is the concept behind the Empack trade fairs. On 14 and 15 June 2023, Messe Hamburg-Schnelsen will therefore once again become the centre of the northern German packaging industry. The list of exhibitors includes some well-known representatives.

Around 70 exhibitors await visitors, covering a broad spectrum of packaging technology. Some examples: Bluhm Systems develops and manufactures labelling systems, Ellerhold produces labels and displays at six locations. With Herma another labelling and marking specialist is represented, while Billet cardboard boxes and packaging material. Romwell develops customised packaging solutions and offers both the materials and the machines (from its own production) for this. Wipotec concentrates on systems for weighing technology and inspection. Wolf packaging machines develops systems for the packaging of powdery and pasty products, and Yamaton Paper produces sustainable packaging based on paper honeycomb.

This year, the trade fair is also of interest because the organisers Focus on two current topics have set: Smart Packaging and Sustainability. Project manager Maria Soloveva: „The framework conditions for the packaging of industrial and consumer goods are changing rapidly. Packaging is taking on additional functions, and recyclability and reusability are becoming even more important. Different materials and concepts are in competition with each other. At Empack, trade visitors will receive an ‚update‘ on the state of the art, talk to experts and familiarise themselves with the exhibitors“ innovations." The Solution and Science Centres will be discussing these two main topics as well as other current issues. The changing requirements of legislation and consumer behaviour are also discussed.
