Together with LOGISTICS & AUTOMATION, EMPACK Dortmund registered a ten per cent increase in the number of visitors this year compared to 2022. Exhibitors and visitors were satisfied.
For two days, Messe Dortmund was the meeting place for the packaging technology community in North Rhine-Westphalia and beyond. The exhibitors at EMPACK presented the entire packaging value chain - from machines, peripheral equipment and materials to complete solutions and services.
The distances in Dortmund are short, there are no queues and visitors can use the Smart Badge to exchange contact details with exhibitors within seconds, as organiser Easyfairs describes the trade fair concept. In association with LOGISTICS & AUTOMATION, which took place at the same time as EMPACK, attracted 2,600 visitors. Compared to 2022, when the two trade fairs were also held together, this represents an increase of ten per cent.
„The figures and the feedback we have received from exhibitors and visitors confirm that EMPACK is on the right track: the trade fair is regional, efficient and personal, and the combination of intralogistics and packaging topics is well received. Everything is geared towards the industry experts exchanging ideas and visitors finding solutions for their very individual tasks - with a minimum of effort and maximum benefit for everyone involved.“
Maria Soloveva, project manager at Easyfairs
Trade fair visitor Lex Besselink, Sales Representative Europe of wire mesh manufacturer Yingkaimo Metal Net: „EMPACK not only offers inspiration, but also substantial networking opportunities and potential business opportunities for professionals involved in the packaging industry. And in general, trade fairs continue to open up the not to be underestimated Advantage of direct face-to-face communication."
Exhibitor Kay Strucks, Senior Manager Marketing Operations and Events EMEA at OKI Europe, was also satisfied: „We were exhibitors at EMPACK for the first time this year and are delighted. Thanks to the good organisation before and during the trade fair, we were an excellent platform for lead generation in the Rhine-Ruhr region offered. The quality of the visitors convinced us to take part again next year.“
The EMPACK supporting programme was also well attended. Maria Soloveva: „Here we have Key topics such as digitalisation and sustainability and was able to attract a broad spectrum of competent speakers from industry and research - and, with Deutsche Umwelthilfe a thoroughly critical voice involved.“
Many exhibitors have already booked a stand for next year. The next EMPACK in NRW will take place from 7 to 8 May 2025 in Dortmund instead.
