With this mission, Hispack 2018 – organized by Fira de Barcelona – will draw together players from the worlds of packaging, processing and logistics, offering innovative standard and personalized solutions for all industrial and consumer sectors.
Compared to the 2015 edition, the number of stands has increased by over 20%, while the surface area has been expanded by 12%. More than 750 direct exhibitors are expected to show at Fira de Barcelona’s Gran Via fair district, along with 1,400 concerns represented there (Italian operators represent the third largest group at the event), covering an area of 39,000 m2.
Over 50% of the stands will be dedicated to machinery and accessories for packaging production and equipment for processing, bottling and coding, while another 30% will be dedicated to raw materials.
