FoodPack China 2026

FoodPack China 2026 will take place from June 15–17, 2026 at the National Exhibition and Convention Center (NECC), Shanghai. It marks the 26th session of China’s premier food processing and packaging machinery event. Organized alongside ProPak China, it forms part of the larger “Shanghai International Processing and Packaging Industry Joint Exhibition.” The event is supported by Sinoexpo Informa Markets, leveraging its global network and experience in industrial exhibitions. Covering over 180,000 m², FoodPack China is designed to bring together more than 100,000 professional visitors and 2,000+ exhibitors, forming one of the most comprehensive gatherings in Asia for food, beverage, dairy, and health industries. The show’s co-location structure allows buyers to explore full production ecosystems—from raw materials and formulation to processing, packaging, and logistics—making it a practical one-stop solution for sourcing and partnership.

FoodPack China’s central theme revolves around “Innovation and Integration,” reflecting the industry’s transition toward intelligent, automated, and sustainable production lines. Exhibitors highlight new trends in hygienic design, robotics, digital control, and eco-friendly materials that align with the global goals for efficiency, food safety, and environmental responsibility. The event provides a high-value environment for companies focusing on next-generation technologies such as smart inspection systems, weight control, filling automation, flexible packaging, labeling, and material traceability. This emphasis on complete process chains allows participants to identify operational bottlenecks, adopt best practices, and establish technology partnerships that directly improve productivity and reduce total lifecycle costs.

The exhibition attracts a wide spectrum of participants across the food and packaging industries. Exhibitors typically include manufacturers of processing machinery, automation systems, filling and sealing equipment, and smart control systems, as well as suppliers of packaging materials, containers, and labeling technology. Key visitor groups comprise food and beverage manufacturers, dairy and bakery companies, nutrition and health product developers, and R&D centers. The co-location with ProPak China and other concurrent shows provides buyers from agriculture, pharmaceuticals, and logistics sectors access to integrated manufacturing and supply-chain solutions. This format fosters collaboration between machinery producers and food enterprises, enabling both domestic and international firms to align on technology adaptation, capacity upgrades, and market entry strategies.

The exhibition’s product range encompasses the entire lifecycle of food production and packaging. Exhibits include equipment for mixing, blending, sterilization, filling, pasteurization, weighing, inspection, and wrapping; packaging systems for liquids, powders, and solids; and industrial robots for palletizing and transport. Visitors will also find full ranges of packaging materials and containers, including plastics, paper, glass, and biodegradable options. Complementary technologies such as warehouse automation, material testing devices, and quality control systems round out the offer, creating a unified sourcing platform. The show serves as a regional hub where decision-makers can benchmark technologies, explore turnkey lines, and discuss customization directly with manufacturers and engineering integrators.

FoodPack China 2026 will be hosted at NECC (Shanghai), located at 333 Songze Avenue, Qingpu District. The venue is strategically positioned near Hongqiao Transportation Hub, allowing efficient access via Metro Line 2.
