Marchesini Group brings the new frontiers of packaging to Interpack

The Group welcomes customers, suppliers and partners in Hall 15, Stand A42 1‑6, presenting areas dedicated to sustainability, primary packaging and aseptic filling, along with robotics, digital solutions, artificial intelligence applications and traceability. Visitors are therefore guided through a pathway highlighting technologies and services designed to meet the needs of the pharmaceutical and cosmetic markets, going beyond the state of the art and maintaining a forward‑looking vision of the industry’s future.

Interpack 2026 is an important opportunity for Marchesini Group to present its latest innovations, including a machine for filling and capping non‑injectable liquids,

comments Valerio Soli, CEO of Marchesini Group.

We also showcase several solutions from the Aseptic Business Unit, giving visibility to our ongoing collaboration with AST. Sustainability and robotics takes centre stage as we support our customers in implementing the PPWR regulation, balancing product safety, traceability and material recyclability.

Unveiling ORBITA-L for the first time
One of the main innovations at this year’s edition is ORBITA‑L, a modular machine for filling and capping non‑injectable liquid products, featuring two key advancements: a magnetic transport system that enables 100% in‑process weight control (100% IPC) and a servo‑driven dip tube tightening unit that optimises the capping phase.Located in a reserved area this solution is only accessible by appointment.

The aseptic Business Unit
The over‑1,500‑square‑metre booth it also host several flagship solutions from the Aseptic Business Unit, which offers a complete range of technologies for filling lines dedicated to injectable products. A compact system for the automated filling and closing of vials, syringes and cartridges are on display, as well as a monobloc machine for the automatic inspection of syringes, equipped with integrated denesting and renesting units.

Focus on sustainability
A large area is also dedicated to sustainability. Marchesini Group showcases its expertise in developing machines and production lines capable of packaging products using paper, mono‑material plastics, recyclable and recycled‑content materials, as well as aluminum. In recent years, collaboration with suppliers and customers has led to the creation of a dedicated team committed to turning the PPWR Regulation guidelines into a concrete opportunity for innovation and growth.
To further explore these topics, a series of talks on European regulations are held at the stand, with a focus on technologies that enable the progressive replacement of PVC and the introduction of recyclable mono‑material alternatives for blister and tray thermoforming.
The sustainability area also features an integrated and robotised high‑speed line for packaging blister packs made entirely of polypropylene, paired with a cartoner equipped with a new automatic carton magazine, showcased for the first time. The line will also include an AI‑based Line Clearance system developed by SEA Vision, a company specialised in vision systems for product traceability.

Retrofitting: the green choice
However, sustainability is not limited to packaging materials. The commitment also extends to prolonging the lifecycle of machines thanks to Rinova, the company created to give new life to original Marchesini models through a complete remanufacturing process. This commitment is showcased in a very tangible way: a refurbished cartoner displayed and assembled only up to 60%. During the exhibition days, the Rinova team ends the assembly directly on-site, bringing the workshop to the fair and showing visitors how the remanufacturing process takes place.

Packaging for the beauty sector
A dedicated area is also reserved for cosmetic packaging. Marchesini Group Beauty showcases two lines for packaging liquid products: one consisting of a compact robotic feeder and a filling machine capable of handling different types of bottles, the result of close collaboration between Axomatic and Vibrotech; the other featuring an automatic tube filling and dosing machine for plastic tubes, paired with an automatic cartoner from V2 engineering.

AI and robotics
Lastly, a dedicated area will be reserved for robotics and the new frontiers of artificial intelligence. In fact, several models from the Next Generation Robotics platform is unveiled at the fair, a new generation of industrial robots built on modular, high‑performance multi‑axis architectures, integrated with advanced machine vision systems and AI–Deep Learning algorithms. These technologies will enable systems to dynamically adapt to increasingly complex production environments, manage unstructured scenarios, and operate with high precision even under variable and non‑deterministic conditions, responding to a market where reliability and production flexibility are essential competitive factors. Moreover, an interactive installation is designed to showcase all the robotic applications developed over the years.
AI also underpin the “Morpheus” predictive maintenance solution, which visitors are allowed to explore at the show, along with the services available through the customer portal (including online digital machine documentation, the Service Platform for managing support requests, the interactive spare parts manual), and the augmented reality format‑change system.
