EMPACK Hamburg

EMPACK is the leading regional trade fair for packaging technology, materials, and services. It provides a concise overview of the entire packaging process—from the initial concept to a market-ready solution. The name EMPACK stands for "Exhibition for Packaging" and represents not just a trade fair but a well-established innovation platform, held annually at Messe Hamburg. The event is organized by Easyfairs GmbH, one of Europe's most respected trade fair organizers, known for targeting key decision-makers and experts in the packaging industry.

As a central industry event, EMPACK is aimed at professionals from the packaging sector and adjacent industries. The focus is on practical, future-oriented solutions. The fair covers a wide range of topics including modern packaging machinery, sustainable materials, automated processes, robotics, and digital tools for process optimization. It also serves as a forum for discussing smart packaging solutions, current developments in labeling, and the growing importance of digitalization and intralogistics.

A particular highlight of EMPACK is its supporting program, which includes expert presentations, themed tours, and interactive formats—creating a valuable learning and networking experience. More than just a product showcase, the fair acts as a platform for in-depth professional exchange. Running concurrently is Logistics & Distribution, a trade fair focused on material flow and intralogistics. Together, these two events offer a comprehensive view of the processes across the entire production and supply chain.

Exhibitors represent a wide range of industries, including mechanical engineering, the food and consumer goods sectors, pharmaceuticals, and chemicals. The audience is equally diverse, comprising buyers, packaging developers, logistics professionals, and production managers—each seeking tailored solutions for their business challenges.

EMPACK is part of a Europe-wide series of trade fairs under the Easyfairs umbrella, with events also held in locations such as Dortmund. This ensures regional proximity to key economic centers.

Hamburg, as an international hub, offers ideal conditions for professional events. Its excellent accessibility—by car, train, plane, or public transport—combined with the central location of Messe Hamburg, featuring modern halls and short distances, makes it an especially attractive venue. Furthermore, the city is one of Europe’s most important logistics regions and home to numerous companies in the packaging industry—providing the perfect setting for a forward-looking trade fair like EMPACK.

The EMPACK will take place on 2 days from Tuesday, 02. June to Wednesday, 03. June 2026 in Hamburg.
