To make the exhibition offering clearly identifiable for visitors, EMBALLAGE maintains its current organisation, divided into sectors or major packaging user markets: Food, Beverages & Liquids, Hygiene & Beauty, Luxury, Health, Industry.

Today, the most dynamic market segments are:

Food, for packaging machinery, closely followed by Beauty / Health / Luxury, also for packaging machinery and materials. “We have expanded the exhibition offering to better meet the requirement to integrate the user component. This strategic focus is complemented by highly sustained investment in worldwide promotion. The idea is to attract fresh decision-makers from our principal catchment area – Europe, the Middle East & Africa (EMEA) – by implementing new actions to invite major buyers, notably from Africa. We are working on quality, with novel and useful event content for visitors. The overall purpose is to produce the most efficient event possible in November.”
