The METPACK is the global meeting place every three years for the international metal packaging industry. Numerous global players present sustainable and cost-efficient solutions for the production, refinement, painting and recycling of metal packaging at the world’s leading trade fair.

At the last edition in 2023, METPACK welcomed more than 310 exhibitors. METPACK received a particularly large number of visitors from abroad, accounting for 73%. Italy, the USA, and the UK led the national rankings. Process automation and networked production, for example through data analysis and the Internet of Things, were among the trends at METPACK 2023, as were digital printing processes that permit numerous new design options.
