FACHPACK – the trade fair for packaging, processing and technology

Key theme 2024: "Transition in packaging"

Our key theme TRANSITION IN PACKAGING speaks to the strong trends currently affecting the packaging industry. Legislators and consumers alike are asking for sustainability – and that is changing the industry completely.

Besides the megatrend sustainability, circular economy, e-commerce, and digitalization follow. COVID-19 has put a new focus on product safety and hygiene. It has also fuelled the increase in onlineshopping and home deliveries. How will we shop in the future? All of these topics are more than just another job forthe packaging industry; they provide a great opportunity for change.

Success story of the FACHPACK

FACHPACK can look back on a magnificent success story. It all began in 1979 at the Nuremberg exhibition centre with 80 exhibitors. Around 2,000 visitors came to the packaging exhibition, which was then called FACHPACK from 1982 onwards. In 2019, more than 43,000 trade visitors gathered information from 1,590 exhibitors. FACHPACK is firmly established in the exhibition calendar as the leading European exhibition for the packaging industry. This And even in the pandemic year 2021, 789 exhibitors and around 24,000 trade visitors did not miss the chance to visit FACHPACK in person on site in Nuremberg. In addition, 4,484 registered participants used the new digital extension myFACHPACK for matchmaking and knowledge transfer. For 2022, the organizer expects FACHPACK to return to its full size.
