IBC specialist Schütz will be presenting an interactive exhibition on what constitutes ideal packaging in a visually engaging form at this year’s Interpack global trade show, taking place in Dusseldorf from 4-10 May. 

Under the trade fair motto “Containing everything that matters”, in Hall 10 Booth D22, E34, the company will be highlighting current supply chain requirements and tasks, and presenting its latest product and service solutions in the field of intermediate bulk containers (IBCs), plastic and steel drums.

Schütz will be hosting a multi-storey exhibition booth covering more than 650 square metres with large-scale, integrated, advanced LED technology that makes the entire stand shine and metamorphose into different shapes. The company says the technology will be a defining part of the multimedia exhibit, with products and topics presented across the entire area using sophisticated 3D animations.

At Interpack, Schütz will be presenting a variety of innovations. The focus is on closed packaging cycles. Among other things, the company will be highlighting the packaging in Schütz’s new Green Layer series. The company says that the IBC inner bottles and drum bodies in this product line are made with 30 per cent high-quality, natural-coloured recycled material, which is itself recovered as part of the Schütz worldwide collection programme for emptied packaging.

In keeping with this commitment to sustainability, also on show will be other product innovations that help to further minimise the CO2 footprint of packaging through the use of recycled material.

As well as the numerous packaging innovations Schütz will be presenting as the second major focus of the fair, trade visitors will also be able to explore the current general packaging ranges. For example, the company will be showing its range of tight-head plastic drums in sizes between 30 and 220 litres as well as all closed-head drums and specialised versions. 

The international team on the Schütz booth, including Schütz Australia CEO Alan Barham, invites visitors to discover the company’s innovations. Many of the exhibits can be experienced live in action, with detailed product animations clearly explaining the specific innovations.
