Material & Packaging Technology Mumbai

Material & Packaging Technology, formerly known as PackEx India, is the leading trade fair for packaging materials and technologies on the Indian subcontinent. Organized by the renowned Koelnmesse Pvt. Ltd., the event is held annually, alternating between two of India’s major business hubs: Mumbai at the Bombay Exhibition Centre (BEC) NESCO, and New Delhi at the International Exhibition cum Convention Centre (IECC) Pragati Maidan.

The trade fair reflects the latest developments and challenges facing the Indian packaging industry and offers targeted solutions for key issues such as food safety, shelf life, export and import requirements, and sustainable innovations. On display are advanced packaging materials including metal, paper, cardboard, modern plastic laminates, and flexible composite films, as well as state-of-the-art packaging machinery, end-of-line technology, robotics, and digital applications for the packaging sector. The event also places a special focus on progress in flexible and sustainable packaging solutions, bio-based alternatives, and recyclable monomaterials. The range of offerings is rounded out by specialty films with UV protection, tamper-evident closures, and intelligent control and tracking systems that ensure a high level of product safety and protection against counterfeiting.

One of the defining features of Material & Packaging Technology India is its unique concept of running in parallel with other major industry trade fairs, such as ANUTEC – International FoodTec India, Food Logistics India, and ANUTEC – Ingredients India. This combination creates cross-industry synergies and provides a comprehensive insight into related sectors, including food and beverages, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, and textiles. Exhibitors range from international technology leaders and innovative medium-sized companies to emerging start-ups. The event is particularly aimed at decision-makers and professionals from production, procurement, quality assurance, research and development, marketing, and logistics who are seeking forward-looking solutions to optimize their processes and meet the demands of the Indian market.

As part of Koelnmesse’s international trade fair portfolio, Material & Packaging Technology India is firmly embedded in the global network of packaging events and benefits from the expertise of a worldwide organizer. The event’s significance for Mumbai and New Delhi is considerable: both cities are recognized as centers of innovation and, with their modern exhibition venues, provide ideal conditions for business development, networking, and knowledge exchange. The locations are optimally connected and offer both exhibitors and visitors an inspiring atmosphere in the economic heart of India.

With its clear thematic focus, international reach, and strong network, Material & Packaging Technology India provides access to new markets, innovations, and sustainable business relationships – making it a must-attend event for anyone seeking to actively shape the future of the packaging industry.

On the whole the organisers welcomed on the 3 days of the fair, from 14. September to 16. September 2022, about 419 exhibitors from 23 countries and 20389 visitors from 52 countries on the Material & Packaging Technology in Mumbai.
