Disposable or reusable, packaging optimisation with AI, CO2 balancing and the new PPWR packaging regulation: there is a lot to discuss in the packaging community, and consumer requirements are also changing. How should industry, retailers and logistics service providers deal with these challenges - and ideally gain a competitive edge? Empack in Dortmund will provide the answers - from 7 to 8 May 2025, followed four weeks later, from 3 to 4 June 2025, by Empack in Hamburg. At both locations, the trade fair will take place together with Logistics & Automation.
The Empack concept is unique for a trade fair for the packaging community. As a regional trade fair, it offers a condensed update on the most important innovations and industry solutions - with a very practical focus. Visitors receive answers to their specific questions, for example: Which innovation will take my company forward? Where can I find a supplier for bio-based or reusable packaging materials? Which partners are suitable for regional networking? What impact will the new PPWR have on my business and how can I label my packaging in a tamper-proof way?
Maria Soloveva, Project Manager at Easyfairs: „At Empack, users can get a comprehensive but compact overview of the market, familiarise themselves with new products and solutions and make efficient use of the day at the trade fair - in a relaxed atmosphere and in dialogue with industry experts.“ The spectrum ranges from packaging materials, protective and transport packaging, labelling and automated solutions to software.
Who is involved as an exhibitor
Empack Dortmund provides a compact and competent overview of the state of the art in packaging technology - from materials and machines to new concepts and business models. The exhibitors in Dortmund include ads-tec (software), Beck Packautomaten, Bluhm (labelling systems), C.B. Hoffmann (packaging materials), Ellerhold (packaging printing), IdentPro (digitalisation), Knüppel (packaging), Mosca (transport packaging), proLogistik (supply chain solutions), Ruhrbotics (robotics) and Sander (edge protectors/strapping). New exhibitors include ARANCO, NEMA and TECNIMODERN (packaging machines), Ergo-Line (workplace systems) and Murtfeldt (plastic products).
Traditionally, the supporting programme has a high priority at Empack. Soloveva: „Together with our partners, we have once again curated a programme that offers visitors real added value.“ For the first time, there will also be an after-work lounge for the communities of both events on the first day - with drinks, music and networking opportunities.
