Leaf Tech Expo Hyderabad

The “Leaf Tech Expo” is an international B2B trade fair dedicated to technologies across the entire industrial tobacco value chain – from post-harvest handling and processing through to packaging and logistics.

The event takes place at the modern HITEX Exhibition Center in Hyderabad, one of the country’s key technology and industrial hubs. It is organised by United Expo LLC, an international exhibition organiser specialising in sector-focused platforms with a strong emphasis on emerging markets and industrial innovation, connecting companies with decision-makers.

At its core, the Leaf Tech Expo addresses topics such as industrial processing and conditioning of tobacco leaf, advanced packaging technologies, raw materials and additives, automation solutions for manufacturing processes, and testing and quality control systems. The scope is further complemented by specialised logistics and warehousing solutions, as well as technologies for environmental management and occupational safety, providing a comprehensive overview of the industry.

Exhibits include drying, fermentation and sorting systems, cutting and blending machinery, and technologies for flavouring and raw material purification. Also featured are high-performance packaging lines for various tobacco products, sustainable packaging materials, specialised inputs such as filter components and additives, and digital solutions including ERP and MES systems for production control. In addition, laboratory and analytical equipment for compliance with international standards, as well as climate control and storage technologies for safeguarding sensitive raw materials, are showcased.

The choice of location is strategic: India is among the world’s leading producers and processors of tobacco, and the region around Telangana is a major centre for cultivation, processing and export. The exhibition acts as a platform linking local producers, international technology providers and global markets, while promoting knowledge exchange across the sector.

Highlights of the Leaf Tech Expo include live demonstrations of modern machinery, expert-led conferences, and the presentation of innovative solutions designed to enhance efficiency, sustainability and compliance.

Exhibitors represent a wide range of related industries, including machinery manufacturing, packaging, chemicals and raw materials, automation and software, as well as testing and environmental technologies. The visitor profile is equally focused, comprising primarily production managers, procurement specialists, engineers, quality managers and senior decision-makers from the tobacco industry, alongside professionals from related sectors such as packaging, logistics and industrial processing.

In addition to its strong content, the event benefits from excellent infrastructure: the HITEX Exhibition Center is one of the country’s most advanced exhibition venues, with convenient access to Rajiv Gandhi International Airport and the city’s transport network. The Leaf Tech Expo therefore serves as a key meeting point for industry professionals and offers ideal conditions for fostering international business relationships.

The Leaf Tech Expo will take place on 2 days from Thursday, 01. April to Friday, 02. April 2027 in Hyderabad.
