About EMPACK

EMPACK comes to your region.

EMPACK is an efficient, two-day trade fair focused on the markets in NRW, Central and Northern Germany and parts of BeNeLux. The emphasis is on visitor quality — with the whole packaging industry on show, from primary and secondary packaging materials to filling machines and automated solutions.

Unlike large image-driven fairs, your day at EMPACK is relaxed and free of long queues. The familiar, personal atmosphere lets you talk to exhibitors without time pressure — and the varied supporting programme delivers knowledge from experts, for experts, from the region.

Success stories

What exhibitors & visitors say.

What sets EMPACK apart from other trade fairs is the atmosphere. You don’t have sales-pitch conversations here – you have genuine discussions. People take the time to listen, engage and think things through with you. That has become rare, and it’s exactly why I keep coming back.
