Messe Düsseldorf, the organizer of interpack, welcomed 174,798 visitors to interpack the last time it was held, which was three years ago in 2014. With around 2,700 exhibitors hailing from 60 different countries signed up for the 2017 version May 4-10, it’s a safe bet that attendees will once again pour into the Düsseldorf fairgrounds in big numbers.

interpack 2017 is recording the highest demand among exhibitors in its 55-year history. By the official close of registration for this outstanding international event for the packaging industry and related processing industries, exhibitors had booked about 20 percent more space than was available at the exhibition center with its 262,400 square meters in 19 halls. As before, a special exhibit and conference called Components for Processing and Packaging will be running in parallel. It will feature products from supplier industries of the packaging sector. This event, too, is now fully booked, yet it will occupy more than twice as much space as in 2014, which marked its premier.

Industry 4.0—in partnership with VDMA
Where size and internationalism are concerned, interpack is a unique platform for businesses offering products and solutions in packaging technology and related processes as well as packaging media and materials for the various segments of this industry: food, beverages, confectionery and baked goods, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, non-food consumer goods, and industrial goods. The products and services presented here will be supplemented by several innovative specialist areas.

Working together with the German Engineering Federation (VDMA), Interpack 2017 will put the focus on Industry 4.0, in particular. The special show will take the form of a Technology Lounge at the VDMA stand, featuring examples of solutions in packaging machinery and process engineering and opening up new opportunities for applications in security, traceability, copying, and counterfeit protection as well as in customized packaging.
