From manufacturing to palletizing and packaging – returns from 18 to 20 November 2025 to Eurexpo Lyon.
This event will bring together key players in the production, processing, and packaging industries, offering a unique opportunity to discover the latest innovations and sustainable solutions. With over 750 French and international exhibitors (up 20% compared to 2023), Prod&Pack confirms its position as a strategic hub for supporting market transformation, focusing on industrial performance, sustainability, and adaptation to new regulations and usage patterns.
The event highlights the transformations underway in the production, industrial processes, and packaging sectors, covering the entire life cycle of the packaged product. Organized into four complementary areas, designed to offer an integrated and comprehensive view of the supply chain:
• Packaging and wrapping machinery and equipment.
• Production and processing machinery and equipment.
• Packaging, containers, and materials.
• End-of-line, handling, storage, shipping, and logistics.
The 2023 edition attracted 15,872 visitors, confirming the growing interest in this event, now a benchmark for industrial transformation.
Special events:
• AI Village
A new thematic area dedicated to artificial intelligence, presenting solutions applied to design, production processes, sustainability, and distribution. This strategic space is designed to intercept and anticipate technological developments in the sector.
• Mini-Factory Showroom
An exclusive area of nearly 800 m² will house five functioning mini-factories, simulating authentic packaging and wrapping lines using five key materials: wood, plastic, glass, metal, and paper/cardboard.
• Innovation Alley
Visitors are welcomed by an immersive exhibition of concrete solutions for the packaging of the future.
• Reuse Village
A thematic area organized in collaboration with Réseau Vrac & Réemploi to highlight the latest innovations in industrial reuse through demonstrations, practical solutions, and expert talks, in line with the AGEC law (the French law that aims to improve the transparency of information on waste-generating products and promote circularity).
• Roundtables, meetings, and the National Conference on Reuse
A high-level conference program will offer an up-to-date and in-depth overview of the challenges facing the sector today. The fair will also feature the third edition of the National Conference on Reuse, a unique opportunity to explore real-world case studies, hear firsthand accounts, and discover the ongoing projects that are transforming the industry.
Prod&Pack: The History of the Show and Its Evolution
Prod&Pack is a biennial event dedicated to the packaged product ecosystem, bringing together key players in the production, processing, and packaging sectors. Its first edition was held in November 2021 at Eurexpo Lyon, evolving from the previous Europack Euromanut CFIA show to meet the new needs of the packaging industry. In 2023, the event attracted over 15,000 visitors and more than 600 exhibitors, cementing its position as a leading event for innovation and sustainability in the packaging sector.
The next edition will be held from November 18 to 20, 2025, at Eurexpo Lyon, with over 750 exhibitors and 16,000 visitors expected. Prod&Pack continues to be a strategic platform for anticipating technological changes and responding to the sector's environmental, economic, and social challenges.
Ucimu: orders index for the second quarter of 2026 still down (-25.8%); foreign orders (-15.3%); dom
Riccardo Rosa, president of UCIMU: "We'll have to wait until the next few months to see the full effects of the hyper-depreciation, but we're very confident this measure will last until September 2028." In the second quarter of 2026, the machine tool orders index compiled by the UCIMU-SISTEMI PER PRODURRE Study & Business Culture Centre recorded a decline of -25.8% compared to the April-June 2025 period . In absolute value, the index stood at 47.8 (base 100 in 2021). The result expresses the difficulties that Italian machine tool manufacturers have encountered both on the domestic and foreign markets. In particular, orders collected from abroad decreased by -15.3% compared to the second quarter of 2025, for an absolute value of 63.2. Order intake in Italy also declined , falling 38.7% compared to the same period of the previous year. The absolute value of the index stood at 33.1. Riccardo Rosa, president of UCIMU-SISTEMI PER PRODURRE, stated: “The uncertainty of the geopolitical context—shaken by wars, the Hormuz crisis, and the decidedly worrying attitude of the President of the United States toward international politics—has profoundly undermined the already precarious balance in which the industry found itself operating.” "The decline in international deliveries, given the current situation, is understandable, and we expected it. Business has slowed, but, as is our custom, we've tried to focus our offerings on those areas less directly affected by conflicts and critical issues, diversifying our product offerings wherever possible." "It is certain ," continued President Riccardo Rosa , " that the investment figures and values once ensured by the automotive industry cannot be replaced by the demand expressed by other sectors, however dynamic, such as defense, aerospace, and energy. For this reason, once again, we ask our representatives in Europe to reconsider their decision and adopt the principle of technological neutrality when defining automotive development plans. This approach would allow the industry, and its entire supply chain, to properly manage the ongoing transition, not only respecting the environment but also safeguarding, where possible, employment." Domestically, businesses awaited clarifications on the hyper-depreciation program to confirm their purchasing intentions. Since June 12th, the day all the operational steps were completed, the hyper-depreciation program has been bearing fruit. We immediately noticed a change in attitude among Italian users: orders are starting to arrive. "We'll have to wait a few more months, however, for the effect to be fully reflected in our data, but we're definitely confident. This is also because, in the meantime, we have data from the Ministry of Business and Made in Italy, which, as of July 9th, reported the submission of 7,000 communications on the GSE platform, worth €2.5 billion." MIMIT deserves great credit for having established a multi-year term for this incentive. Its effectiveness until September 2028 should ensure thoughtful planning of investments in new machine tools and production technologies by Italian customers, also allowing us manufacturers to plan our production activities over the medium term. "The hope ," concluded Riccardo Rosa , " is to soon see the Italian market return to the levels it experienced in 2021-2022, when it was worth over €6 billion. This is also because our manufacturing industry needs to innovate to remain competitive in an international context where digital and AI are completely reshaping the rules of the game."
