Industrial Transformation 2025 (July 22-24) is set to showcase the future of manufacturing and supply chain innovation, and the APPMA Processing & Packaging Pavilion is a highlight industry won’t want to miss. With over 400sqm of space already confirmed and limited spaces still available, the pavilion promises to be a hub of innovation and industry expertise.

The APPMA Processing & Packaging Pavilion brings together a dynamic mix of industry leaders, innovators, and service providers under one roof. Visitors can look forward to exploring solutions from exhibiting APPMA members, including Australis Engineering, Beckhoff, Contech, HMPS Propac, ifm efector, Pilz, Robotic Automation, Schmalz, Trimatt Systems, and Result Group. Adding to this impressive line-up are non-member exhibitors such as Aurora Process Solutions, Epson, and Finlease (an APPMA sponsor), alongside cutting-edge technologies from Graph-Pak, IMA Group, KwikClamp, SATO, Sealed Air, Viscount Plastics, and Ranpak. Each exhibitor will showcase innovations that promise to transform the processing and packaging sectors, offering visitors a wealth of opportunities to learn and connect.

In addition to the vibrant exhibitor space, APPMA and Hannover Fairs are finalising an exciting program for the Knowledge Theatre, which will deliver invaluable insights into the latest trends and challenges shaping the industry.

Chris Foley from APCO is already confirmed to speak, presenting on packaging reform, eco-modulation, and the 2030 Strategic Plan for the packaging industry. These topics are at the forefront of industry conversations, and his session promises to be both thought-provoking and informative, as the industry faces the real-time effects of APCO’s Packaging Targets.

The Knowledge Theatre is designed to spark meaningful discussions and provide a platform for industry professionals to share expertise and insights. With additional speaking opportunities available, it’s an ideal way to position your business as a thought leader in the field.  

The pavilion is shaping up to be one of the standout features of Industrial Transformation 2025, but there’s still time to get involved. Limited exhibitor spaces remain, and the Knowledge Theatre still has openings for speakers eager to share their expertise and engage directly with decision-makers and industry professionals.

To secure your exhibition space or express interest in the Knowledge Theatre, contact APPMA Marketing & Events Manager, Denni Egan (denni@appma.com.au).
