FACHPACK 2025: Get your Exhibition Space and Tickets now
Preparations are in full swing for FACHPACK, the European trade fair for packaging, technology and processes. This years most important event for the packaging industry will take place in Nuremberg from 23 to 25 September. Around 1400 exhibitors are expected. This time, FACHPACK guests will enjoy added value: with their ticket they will have the opportunity to visit POWTECH TECHNOPHARM, which is taking place at the same time.

Why FACHPACK 2025 should be a must-attend event: The exhibitors at FACHPACK cover the entire packaging value chain across eleven exhibition halls. The focus will be on packaging materials and packaging aids as well as innovative packaging technology solutions. Packaging printing and finishing as well as intralogistics round off the categories covered by the European trade fair for packaging, technology and processes. For trade visitors from all packaging-intensive sectors, such as food, beverages, luxury foods, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, chemicals, health care, non-food, pet food, other consumer goods, automotive, technical articles, medical technology and other industrial goods, the trade fair is therefore an ideal opportunity to broaden their horizons, see new ideas and make contact with business partners, potential customers and industry insiders, to network and gain valuable input.

A supporting program with top-class specialist presentations, discussion events and Q&A sessions is included in the admission price on all three days of the trade fair. The PACKBOX will focus on forward-looking topics such as the use of artificial intelligence in development and production, strategies for implementing the EU Packaging Ordinance (PPWR), circular economy models and international market trends. In the INNOVATIONBOX exhibitor forum, FACHPACK exhibitors will once again present their new products and process innovations in short presentations.
„In addition to the extensive, forward-looking trade fair, I am particularly looking forward to the lively dialogue around the FACHPACK theme of 'Transition in Packaging'. This dialogue is immensely important because the industry is undergoing radical change and a sustainable and digital transformation is inevitable. And that's why we'll all be discussing important industry topics together again here in Nuremberg in September and providing impetus on what the opportunities of this transition look like and how they can be utilised," says Phuong Anh Do, Event Director of FACHPACK.
FACHPACK is not only one of the leading trade fairs for packaging solutions in Europe, but also a platform for innovation, dialogue and sustainable developments, explains Martin Rank, Head of Sales & Marketing, Etimex Primary Packaging GmbH. "FACHPACK has a high added value for our company, as it gives us the opportunity to enter into dialogue with existing and potential partners, gain new impetus and present our own innovations to a specialist audience."
FACHPACK is a platform for the latest trends and technologies and at the same time provides a protected setting for confidential discussions with industry experts. FACHPACK is therefore the essential industry meeting place for us," says packaging expert Sonja Bähr, Director Business Development at B+P Creality. There is currently a great deal of uncertainty due to the legal, economic and political requirements affecting the entire industry. This makes it all the more important to use FACHPACK as a central platform for exchange in order to stay up to date and gain valuable impetus for our business, says Sonja Bähr.
Following the successful premiere in 2024, the "Women4Packaging" networking event will take place again this year. The aim is to give women in the industry, exhibitors and trade visitors alike, a platform where they can exchange ideas, learn from each other and strengthen each other. The Alternative Packaging Solutions pavilion, which focuses on innovative packaging materials made from renewable raw materials and showcases new developments in all packaging materials, will also be taking part again. FACHPACK is once again cooperating with the agency pacoon, which will present focus topics relating to sustainable packaging solutions in the moderated SOLPACK 6.0 forum.
On the third day of the trade fair, FACHPACK will once again host STUDENT DAY in cooperation with the German Packaging Institute (dvi). The aim of the event is an interactive exchange between company representatives and around 100 students studying packaging technology, sustainability and product design.
There are also further opportunities for the next generation of packaging experts at FACHPACK: the "Young Innovators" pavilion, sponsored by the Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Climate Protection, enables German start-ups and young companies to introduce themselves to the specialist public and present product innovations. International start-ups based will showcase their innovative products and processes at the Newcomer Pavilion. Registrations are already open.
Parallel to FACHPACK: POWTECH TECHNOPHARM
This year, visitors to FACHPACK can also enjoy great added value by walking through Halls 9 to 12 of the Nuremberg Exhibition Centre, where solutions from the process technology upstream of packaging will be presented at POWTECH TECHNOPHARM at the same time as FACHPACK. POWTECH TECHNOPHARM is the international trade fair for technologies for processing powders, solids and liquids in Europe. The FACHPACK ticket also gives visitors access to POWTECH TECHNOPHARM.
