At PACK EXPO International 2026, Syntegon will join its customers in “re:imagining” the Factory of the Future by providing answers to their most pressing challenges. With highly innovative solutions, the company will demonstrate how operations in the food, pharma and biotech sectors can be elevated to the next level of efficiency, flexibility and sustainability at the Syntegon food booth S-3514 in the South Hall and the Syntegon pharma Booth W-26038 in the West Hall.
Challenges as a Driver for Innovation and Growth
The U.S. industry faces unique challenges. Rising cost pressure, growing demand for flexibility, labor shortages, and increasingly complex regulatory requirements are reshaping production environments across all sectors. To stay competitive, manufacturers need to plan for their factory of the future. Syntegon addresses these needs with innovations developed in close collaboration with its customers. The vision: a factory that can regulate itself, adapt to changing requirements, and support human decision-making through an AI-enabled control center. At PACK EXPO International 2026, Syntegon will showcase the building blocks that help customers bring this vision to life – with operations that are more seamless, smart, and touchless, and ultimately more efficient.
“At PACK EXPO International, we demonstrate how our COCREATE and COSUCCEED concept helps customers in the US market address their most pressing production challenges. Game-changing innovations, jointly developed with pioneering customers, deliver greater business impact in an environment defined by cost pressure, labor shortages, rising flexibility needs, and increasing regulatory complexity. Our innovation highlights, neXt and SVX, raise the bar in the food sector. Moreover, we support our pharmaceutical customers in mastering ever-stricter regulatory demands with automated technologies and seamless line solutions. Syntegon’s promise as a strategic lifecycle partner combines innovation leadership with best-in-class lifecycle services as the ultimate enabler for our customers’ growth,” says Torsten Türling, CEO of Syntegon.
neXt: The Factory of the Future is Seamless, Smart, and Touchless
The food industry is evolving quickly: Consumer and retailer demands are changing overnight, requiring utmost flexibility – especially in a fast-moving market like the US. Labor is scarce and increasingly expensive, and regulatory as well as market expectations are driving the shift toward more automation and flexibility. The neXt system solution from Syntegon will celebrate its North America premiere at Pack Expo. neXt takes on the challenges by providing seamless operation, smart performance, and touchless automation. neXt allows operators to focus on the highest value-adding activities. Seamless operation increases efficiency and minimizes downtime. Real-time, smart data drives fact-based action and optimized OEE. Touchless automation and an intuitive UX result in faster changeovers, less training, and higher flexibility across product portfolios. Designed with future, evolving demands in mind, neXt enables a competitive edge for food manufacturers in a highly dynamic market.

It fully automates active and passive viable monitoring, resulting in less manual intervention, higher process safety, and increased machine availability. The SPC 4000 can be integrated into both new and existing equipment such as Syntegon’s seamless vial line solutions, which visitors can also discover at PACK EXPO International.
