Mespack, an international manufacturer of flexible and turnkey packaging solutions, will participate in PACK EXPO International 2026 as part of the Duravant family, showcasing how digital technologies are transforming packaging operations from machine level to factory-wide performance.
Mespack invites visitors to explore a new generation of connected packaging solutions designed to improve efficiency, simplify operations and provide greater visibility across production environments. Under the concept "Beyond Packaging Machinery: Enter the Digital Manufacturing Era," the company will demonstrate how automation, digitalization and intelligent machine design are converging to support manufacturers address today's production challenges.
The HKE SC Series Takes Center Stage
One of the main attractions at the Mespack area will be the HKE SC Series, the latest addition to Mespack's horizontal pre-made packaging portfolio and the platform chosen for its live demonstrations throughout the show.
Built around an innovative electronic carousel architecture, the HKE SC Series combines high performance with exceptional flexibility. The machine enables ultra-rapid format changes in less than one minute, reduces mechanical complexity, and enhances production efficiency while maintaining the reliability required in high-demand packaging environments.
Visitors will be able to experience the machine running live and discover how its advanced design contributes to faster changeovers, improved uptime and greater operational agility.
A Connected Ecosystem for Smarter Manufacturing
While the HKE SC Series represents the latest evolution in machine technology, Pack Expo will also highlight a broader transformation taking place across manufacturing facilities: the transition toward intelligent and connected factories.
Designed to improve visibility, simplify operations and enhance decision-making, Mespack's digital solutions connect production data with people across the factory floor, transforming information into actionable insights.
Athena: The Intelligence Behind Every Machine
Athena is Mespack's machine control and data analytics platform, providing operators and plant managers with real-time performance information, advanced machine control and production insights. As the digital backbone of Mespack machinery, Athena helps customers maximize efficiency and continuously optimize production.
D-SCADA: From Machine Data to Factory Intelligence
D-SCADA extends digital visibility beyond individual machines, enabling centralized monitoring and management of complete packaging lines and production environments. Through real-time dashboards, reporting tools, KPI visualization and performance analytics, customers gain a comprehensive view of factory operations, allowing faster and better-informed decisions.
Voice Control: A New Way to Interact with Packaging Equipment
Integrated within the Athena ecosystem, Voice Control introduces a more intuitive interaction between operators and machines. Through voice commands, users can quickly access information, navigate functions and receive operational support, improving responsiveness and simplifying daily tasks on the production floor.
Hello Mespack: Instant Access to Knowledge
Hello Mespack connects users with Mespack's technical expertise 24/7, providing instant access to documentation, technical information, troubleshooting guides and support resources. By reducing the time required to find critical information, Hello Mespack helps accelerate problem resolution and maximize machine availability.
Together, these technologies demonstrate Mespack's vision of a connected factory where machines, software and people work as one integrated ecosystem to drive operational excellence.
Duravant Insights: Where Innovation Meets Collaboration
Innovation thrives on collaboration. For years, Mespack has worked alongside leading material suppliers, technology developers and industry experts to help customers bring smarter, more efficient and more sustainable packaging solutions to market.
At PACK EXPO International 2026, those collaborations will take center stage through Duravant Insights, a live interview series hosted throughout the exhibition from the Duravant booth.
The series will bring together some of the most influential companies across the packaging value chain, including the stellar partners for Mespack such as Amcor, Mondi, MonoSol, ProAmpac, Dow, Herrmann, Hoffer, Menshen, watttron, Neoceram, Spookfish, Rockwell Automation, and Famartec, creating a platform for open discussions around the challenges and opportunities shaping the future of packaging.
Through these conversations, visitors will gain valuable insights into key industry topics, including sustainable materials, automation, machine intelligence, digitalization, production efficiency, quality assurance and smart manufacturing. By bringing together perspectives from across the packaging value chain, Duravant Insights highlights how collaboration accelerates innovation and helps manufacturers respond to evolving market demands.
Recorded live during the show and shared through Mespack and Duravant digital channels, the interviews will extend the conversations beyond the exhibition floor, providing packaging professionals worldwide with access to expert knowledge and real-world industry experiences.
As part of Mespack's broader vision, Duravant Insights reinforces the belief that the future of packaging will be built not only through technological innovation, but through strong partnerships across the entire ecosystem.
To continue with a popular tradition, Mespack will once again hold its Golden Ticket giveaway, offering three winners the opportunity to test cutting-edge sustainable materials, including recyclable, recycled, biodegradable, and compostable options. This year’s raffle, held on the final day of the show, is organized in collaboration with top industry partners. The winners will gain access to the materials and systems of these partners or conduct trials at one of three leading innovation centers: the Mespack Innovation Centre (Barcelona, Spain), Dow Pack Studios (Freeport, TX), or the ProAmpac Collaboration Innovation Centre (Rochester, NY).
Shaping the Future of Packaging
According to Gemma Bessa, Marketing Director of Mespack: "The future of packaging is not just about faster machines. It is about connecting machines, people and data to make smarter decisions and operate more efficiently. At Pack Expo, we are excited to demonstrate how Mespack is supporting customers move toward a truly connected factory through advanced automation, digital technologies and strong industry partnerships."
Visitors are invited to discover the latest innovations from Mespack at PACK EXPO International 2026, Booth S-3714, and experience firsthand how digitalization, automation and collaboration are shaping the future of packaging production.
The Duravant booth will also serve as a hub for exploring complementary technologies and integrated solutions from across the group, bringing together machinery, digitalization and industry expertise in one destination.
