Published:2026-10-03 · Industry News

The processing and packaging machinery exhibition listed as INTERPACK 202 is scheduled for February 25, 2021, at Messe Düsseldorf International Exhibition Center in Germany, organized by Messe Düsseldorf GmbH. The contact numbers included in the event information are 021-61992314 and 5021596784.

The previous Interpack 2019 edition covered 174,369 square meters of net exhibition space across 19 halls and brought together more than 2,700 exhibitors worldwide. Nearly 170,000 visitors from over 60 countries and regions attended, including more than 100,000 from abroad, accounting for over 66%. Feedback indicated strong satisfaction: more than 80% of surveyed exhibitors called the show very successful, and more than 90% committed to exhibiting again at the next edition.

Founded in 1958 and held once every three years, the show gives exhibitors ample preparation time and underlines the professionalism of the packaging sector. It serves food, pharmaceutical, cosmetics, confectionery and pastry applications with new packaging products, innovative solutions and related services. Because packaging machinery, packaging materials and food machinery are closely connected, Messe Düsseldorf decided to add a food processing machinery zone to the 2020 packaging industry exhibition. The event has become an important platform for opening the European market, especially Germany, gathering industry information and trends, learning new technologies and signing contracts. It brings together leading brands in global packaging machinery and connects exhibitors and visitors through its international reach and diverse supply.

Germany is one of the world's economically developed countries. Its 2017 GDP was about US$5.5 trillion, ranking among the top in Europe and fourth globally after the United States, China and Japan. Data from the German Federal Statistical Office showed that, supported by higher domestic consumption and investment as well as a strong export sector, Germany's economy maintained steady growth, with an annual GDP growth rate of 3%.

Germany is a major global goods exporter and the third-largest goods importer. In packaging machinery design, manufacturing and technical performance, Germany holds a leading position worldwide and is one of the major packaging machinery exporters, joining the United States, Japan and Italy as global packaging machinery powers. German packaging machinery design is based on market research and analysis, aiming to serve customers, especially large enterprises, as effectively as possible. Filling machinery for beer and beverages, in particular, requires high-speed, complete-set, highly automated and highly reliable products. Taking part in Interpack 2020 in Düsseldorf, Germany, will help relevant Chinese enterprises win a broader European market.
