Strategies

Welcome.
Click here for smart packaging strategies.

Our Event Packaging Strategies is an exclusive forum by the German Packaging Institute for board members, owners and managing directors of machine manufacturers in the packaging sector as well as top managers and stakeholders from Austria, Germany, Italy and Switzerland.

Lectures and workshops at all levels of the value chain deal with relevant trends in the packaging sector and market developments in mechanical engineering and automation. The top topic is exogenous, not technology-driven trends.

Take part in the event – find answers to current questions, new impulses for your company and take home important and helpful information when making decisions.
