IPACK-IMA, the international exhibition dedicated to processing and packaging technologies and innovative materials, has officially begun its journey towards the 2028 edition with results that mark a new milestone in the event's history—starting with the rebooking phase, when exhibitors from the previous edition secure their exhibition space well in advance.

Nearly one year after the close of the latest edition, the number of companies that have already re-confirmed their participation is 22% higher than the number recorded over the same period ahead of the 2025 edition. A clear sign of strong confidence in the exhibition, which will take place at Fiera Milano from May 29 to June 1, 2028.

Equally significant is the performance of Pharmintech powered by Ipack Ima, which, at the same rebooking deadline, recorded a 34% increase in re-confirmed exhibitors compared to the 2025 edition. This performance reinforces the increasingly central position of the event dedicated to Life Science technologies, held concurrently with IPACK‑IMA.

These figures, all showing growth compared to previous editions, confirm the strength of the exhibition model. Exhibitors are not only confirming their participation, but are choosing to renew their presence well ahead of time, recognizing IPACK‑IMA and Pharmintech as strategic platforms for business development and key reference events for processing, packaging, and chemical‑pharmaceutical technologies.
