As a leading trade show for metal packaging, METPACK Essen receives predominantly international audience. Professionals from around the globe come to Messe Essen to explore products and services which introduce a modern approach to the production, refinement and recycling of cans, metal boxes and bottles, containers, barrels, tubes, etc.
METPACK 2023 will run on 2 - 6 May. It will gather under one roof more than 300 exhibitors and some 7000 visitors in search of innovative metal packaging solutions. The last three days of the trade show will coincide with interpack 2023 in Dusseldorf, held on 4 - 10 May 2023. Around half of the METPACK participants in 2017 chose to benefit from both exhibitions. Many of them have already made the necessary arrangements to take part in the 2023 editions.
