The World's Leading Fair for Metal Packaging.


The METPACK is the most important meeting place for the international metal packaging industry. Every three years, the market leaders and many specialised companies from the metal packaging industry present their innovations at the world's leading fair in Essen. The METPACK is a nucleus for innovations and a communication platform at the same time. And so a high-calibre jury confers the METPACK Innovation Award to particularly trendsetting developments which reduce costs and increase quality. As the undisputed No. 1 of the industry, the METPACK impressively demonstrates the level of innovation and knowledge of both today and tomorrow.
