Trade fair anniversary
Fachpack turns 40
Fachpack was launched in Nuremberg in 1979 as a regional trade exhibition for packaging with 88 exhibitors and around 2,000 visitors. When it opens its doors from September 24 to 26, 2019, around 1,600 exhibitors are expecting around 45,000 trade visitors at their stands.
As a trade fair for packaging, processes and technology, it is now the meeting place for the European packaging industry. In 2018, 38% of exhibitors and 25% of trade visitors came from outside Europe. What makes Fachpack so attractive? "There are three things that exhibitors and visitors particularly appreciate about Fachpack today," says Cornelia Fehlner, who has been Director of Fachpack since 2017: "Its duration, always three crisp days; the almost complete range of products and services along the packaging process chain - from machines and logistics to packaging materials and packaging aids to printing and finishing; and the attractive supporting program with the popular Packbox and Techbox lecture forums, the trendy special shows and exciting award ceremonies." This year, the trade fair's slogan is "Tomorrow is made by doing" and the main theme is "Environmentally friendly packaging". as
