Paper Middle East Cairo

Since its inception in 2009, Paper Middle East (Paper ME) has established itself as the leading trade fair for the paper, pulp, and packaging industries in the MENA region (Middle East and North Africa). Held annually at the Egypt International Exhibition Center in Cairo, the event is strategically positioned at the crossroads of East and West—both geographically and economically.

Organized by Nile Trade Fairs, the exhibition is tailored to a specialized professional audience. Its core focus lies in technological innovation, state-of-the-art machinery, and raw materials for the paper, pulp, tissue, printing, and packaging sectors. More than just a knowledge-sharing platform, Paper ME serves as a key hub for business networking and investment opportunities.

International exhibitors showcase a wide range of solutions, including machinery for paper and board production, equipment for corrugated packaging, recycling technologies, laminating systems, as well as tissue machines, printing systems, and packaging technologies. The exhibition also features used and refurbished machinery, specialty papers, raw materials, and accessories—offering a comprehensive overview of the entire value chain, from pulp production to finished product.

Cairo, as a dynamic metropolis of growing economic importance, provides the ideal setting for such an international industry event. The fair attracts decision-makers, engineers, buyers, and experts from the fields of paper, printing, packaging, and logistics—professionals who influence technological direction, investment strategies, and market trends.

The Egypt International Exhibition Center impresses with its modern infrastructure, international standards, and excellent accessibility—from both downtown Cairo and the airport. Visitors not only experience a high-level industry event but also gain insight into a city that embraces its historical legacy while looking boldly toward the future.

Exhibitors and visitors meet for the 17th time on the Paper Middle East on 3 days from Tue., 09.09.2025 to Thur., 11.09.2025 in Cairo.
