7-13 May 2020, Düsseldorf (D) - With 3,000 exhibitors from around 60 countries, an optimized pavilion structure, new digital tools to facilitate matchmaking, Messe Düsseldorf is preparing to give life to the global event of the packaging and processing sector which, in many ways, marks the rhythms of innovation. .

On display at interpack, therefore, packaging materials and machines, where the organizers have added some changes compared to the past, with the declared aim of further facilitating the encounter between producers and users.
As an example, we cite the halls 15-17, where the offer of packaging systems for the pharmaceutical and cosmetic industries will be concentrated, while the halls adjacent to the North Entrance (7-11) will feature packaging and packaging materials producers.
In this context, we also state that Hall 18 hosts the parallel event “components - special trade fair by interpack” (sold out for some time), while halls 1-4 are dedicated to processing technologies.

To further facilitate the visitors, even the internal routes in the halls have been structured more clearly.
And still under the banner of clarity and simplification, on the website www.interpack.com the “Exhibitors and Products” section is already active, which can be easily accessed to organize one’s visit according to one’s specific interest: individual exhibitors can be marked as “favorites” and integrated with notes - including synchronization with the interpack app available for iOS and Android.
The function also offers a customized map of the pavilions: a valid aid for finding your way around the fair.
