The industry had to wait two long years for the next Fachpack - including numerous cancellations and postponements of other trade fairs and corresponding events due to the pandemic. But at the end of September, the time had finally come: for three days, around 24,000 trade visitors and 788 exhibitors from 33 countries came together in seven halls at Messe Nuremberg.<\/strong><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

In the run-up to the trade fair, there was scepticism in the industry as to whether the trade fair would be as successful as usual in times of coronavirus. This was not only reflected in the lower number of exhibitors (2019: 1,591 exhibitors), but the trade fair concept was a success: Full exhibition halls, crowds of people, three whole days of colourful hustle and bustle at Messe N\u00fcrnberg. For some, this was certainly unimaginable after almost two years of the coronavirus pandemic. And yet Fachpack 2021 from 28 to 30 September turned out to be just that, thanks to the 3G hygiene concept.<\/p>

One topic dominated this year's trade fair: the Perennial topic \u201eSustainability<\/strong>\u201c, which was reflected in the main theme of the trade fair \u201eEnvironmentally friendly packaging\u201c. With its two-pronged combination of offline and online offerings, Fachpack also presented itself as a contemporary and conscientiously prepared event.<\/p>

Using the specially developed \u201emyFachpack\u201c tool, visitors were able to arrange fixed meetings with exhibitors at the stand in advance, find out about products and companies and watch the technical presentations. Around 9,500 visitors attended the 101 presentations in the Packbox, Techbox and Innovationsbox forums. Anyone who missed a presentation at the trade fair can still watch it on the digital tool until the end of the year.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Our readers are particularly impressed by the great response in our LinkedIn survey<\/a> surprised. After two years of the pandemic, not everyone was expecting this. \u201eIt was our first time at Fachpack and we were all very excited to see how the first live trade fair would be received after such a long time. And we were pleasantly surprised: the trade fair was well attended from the very first day and our team was finally able to meet customers again and make new contacts,\u201c reports Susanne Kleinhans<\/strong>, Ima Dairy & Food<\/strong>.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
