Extrusion International USA 4-2022

8 Extrusion International 4/2022 INDUSTRY NEWS  From May 4 to 10 2023, Düssel- dorf will once again become a busi- ness platform and future technology workshop. interpack has already been fully booked out. 18 halls, targeted exhibition areas, new speciality shows and forums demonstrate the industry's innova- tive prowess. Around 2,700 exhibitors from around the world will present leading technology and packaging trends from the entire value chain. Six years and a forced absence during the pandemic mean that there is a multi- tude of novel developments on the market. Although there is still a year be- fore the event, interpack has already been fully booked out and will occupy the entire exhibition area. Interested companies can still register for the waiting list and thus have the chance to exhibit too. interpack demonstrates the influ - ence that megatrends like connectiv- ity, security and sustainability have on the future of the continuously evolv- ing packaging industry. "Conditions like scarcity of resources and disrupted supply chains pose great challenges to the industry, while simultaneously fac- tors such as increasing demand, new technology and a growing awareness of sustainability offer us big chances to take huge strides forward," says Thomas Dohse, Project Director for in- terpack. "interpack is the place where the industry creates the future at a global level". interpack delivers stimuli for pro- gressive and visionary concepts, and continues to expand the accompany- ing programme accordingly. At the moment, there are plans for several speciality shows and forums. For ex- ample, specially themed days ensure that visitors receive targeted informa- tion. interpack uses this to demon- strate answers to current challenges within the packaging industry. Next year's event will specifically focus on the topics of circular economy, sav- ing resources, digital technology and product safety. Outside exhibition times, too, in- terpack's digital communication plat- form Tightly Packed keeps its finger on the pulse and continues to offer information on new developments, best practices and trends.
