UPAKEXPO (Moscow International Packaging Exhibition) serves as a premier gathering for domestic and international manufacturers and suppliers of packaging equipment, finished packaging, packaging materials, various technological solutions, and other related sectors that constitute the entire packaging production and processing chain.

The event attracted over 33,000 professionals and featured participation from more than 1,000 companies across 20+ countries, including Russia, Turkey, Iran, China, UAE, Brazil, Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan, India, Egypt, Italy, Germany, and Belarus.

UPAKEXPO demonstrates a strong interest from both domestic and international participants in tapping into the Russian market. Many exhibitors showcased their products for the first time, allowing visitors to gain in-depth insights into new suppliers from Russia, the CIS, Asia, and the Middle East. Companies from China, Turkey, India, and Iran were particularly prominent, while European enterprises and leading Russian domestic manufacturers continued to steadily expand their presence in the local market.

Kirill Piskarev, Project Director for RUPLASTICA and UPAKEXPO, noted: "Each year, we witness an expansion in exhibitors' product portfolios, encompassing more equipment, raw materials, finished goods, and production modules. This growth is driven by active technological innovation, process automation, and the development of production facilities."

The exhibition's business forum comprises five segments: the POLYMER PLAZA forum for the polymer industry, the INNOVATION PACK forum for packaging and printing, the RECYCLING SOLUTIONS conference on recycling economics, the ADDITIVE MINDED expert conference on 3D printing, and the 3rd International Polymer Hackathon for university students.

The B2B format of UPAKEXPO ensures a high-caliber professional audience, represented by domestic and international experts from manufacturing and processing enterprises. It consistently reaffirms its status as a pivotal event for the packaging industry in Russia and the CIS countries.
