In agreement with its partners in associations and the industry, and with the trade fair advisory committee, Messe Düsseldorf has decided to cancel both interpack and components 2021 trade fairs, scheduled to take place from 25 February to 3 March, due to the restrictions related to the Covid-19 pandemic.

Wolfram N. Diener, CEO of Messe Düsseldorf, explains: “We have done everything we can to do justice to interpack’s tremendous importance for the processing and packaging industry, even during this pandemic. Ultimately, however, feedback from our exhibitors has shown that the uncertainty is too great, and we are thus unable to host an interpack event that would meet the standards of a leading international trade fair. We are now focussing on the next edition of interpack, which will take place in May 2023 according to plan, and which we will supplement with extended online offers”.

Until the next edition of the leading trade fair, the industry can access continuous updates on industry trends, developments and innovations at www.interpack.de. The online offer for components is available at www.packaging-components.de. Additional online options will be made available for exhibitors and visitors of the upcoming interpack and components 2023.
