In view of rising cost pressure, stricter regulation and the increasing use of digital technologies, exhibitors at interpack 2026 will focus on automation, innovative materials and qualification. The world's leading trade fair for processing and packaging will take place in D\u00fcsseldorf from 7 to 13 May 2026 and will bring together around 2,800 exhibitors from the entire value chain.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The packaging and processing industry is facing profound changes. Artificial intelligence, automation and data-based production models are becoming increasingly important, while a shortage of skilled labour, geopolitical uncertainties and regulatory requirements are tightening the framework conditions. At the same time, technological advances and the growing demand for pre-packaged food and pharmaceutical products are opening up new room for manoeuvre for companies that make targeted investments in future-proof solutions.<\/p>\n

Efficient production and integrated line solutions<\/h2>\n

Stable, flexible and efficient production processes are at the centre of many trade fair appearances. Theegarten-Pactec will be presenting new developments in automation, digitalisation and process optimisation in Hall 1. President and CEO Markus Rustler explains: \u201eAs usual, we will be presenting our latest developments in the areas of automation, digitalisation and process optimisation for packaging technologies at interpack. All approaches pursue a clear goal: to enable even greater efficiency in our customers\u201c processes.\"<\/p>
