Packaging. Depot Chişinău

Packaging. Depot is a highly specialized trade fair for packaging technologies and solutions that has, since its inception, evolved into a key industry meeting point in Southeastern Europe. The term “Depot” symbolically represents a place of convergence—a hub for ideas, innovations, and connections where everything revolves around modern packaging.

Held annually at the International Exhibition Centre MoldExpo in Chișinău, the capital of the Republic of Moldova, the fair takes place at the country’s largest exhibition venue. The center stands out for its modern infrastructure and strong international connectivity.

The event is organized by I.E.C. MOLDEXPO S.A., an experienced host of international trade fairs. Its mission is to promote economic exchange and enhance the global visibility of Moldovan and regional businesses.

Packaging. Depot covers the entire value chain of the packaging industry. The spotlight is on innovative technologies, advanced machinery, sustainable materials, and solutions for labeling, storage, and logistics. Special emphasis is placed on developments that combine environmental responsibility and resource efficiency with forward-thinking design. The fair positions itself as a catalyst for the sustainable transformation of the industry.

Exhibits include materials such as cardboard, paper, glass, metal, and bio-based plastics—primarily for the food, cosmetics, and pharmaceutical sectors. The product range spans from dosing technology to automated warehouse systems, offering a comprehensive overview of current trends and customized solutions.

As a platform for knowledge transfer and professional exchange, the fair enriches the exhibition experience with lectures, workshops, and networking formats. Here, industry professionals, developers, and decision-makers from business, trade, and research come together.

Exhibitors represent sectors such as mechanical engineering, materials development, logistics, printing technology, and recycling. Visitors—mainly buyers, developers, packaging designers, and logistics specialists—come from Eastern Europe, but increasingly also from Western Europe and Asia.

Thanks to excellent accessibility via Chișinău International Airport, a well-developed road network, and central hotel connections, MoldExpo is an attractive location for both national and international guests. More than just a trade fair, "Packaging. Depot" serves as a networking hub, a driver of innovation, and a key gathering point for the industry at the heart of Europe.

The Packaging. Depot takes place annually, and therefore for the 28th time previsibly in May 2026 in Chişinău .
