Preparing your visit

For the exhibitor

• T-9 months: apply to the themed spaces (Village du Réemploi, Village IA, La Pépinière) to amplify press visibility.
• T-6 months: prepare live demonstrations (the 800 sq m showroom mini-factories have historically been the most visited).
• T-3 months: activate the partner federation channels (Elipso, Polyvia, Citeo, Adelphe) for upstream communications.

For the decision-making visitor

• Target the live demonstrations in the 800 sq m showroom (often crowded in the afternoon).
• Plan the PPWR and AI conferences in advance.

Policy & CSR initiatives

Information not available: as at the date of this listing, Prod&Pack does not publish a dedicated CSR commitments page for the organiser or for the trade show itself. The sustainability theme is handled editorially through the Allée des Tendances Durables, the Village du Réemploi and the Assises Nationales du Réemploi des Emballages, without a formalised public CSR policy for the trade show (source: agro-media.fr).

How the trade show has evolved

Trajectory analysis

The 2020-2021 rebranding (Europack Euromanut CFIA to Prod&Pack) accompanied a strategic repositioning: dropping the CFIA co-location and broadening to all industrial sectors (beyond food alone). Volumes have remained stable at around 16,000 visitors across the old and new brands, but the number of exhibitors grew by 25% between 2023 and 2025 (+750 exhibitors), which saturated the halls and limited new registrations. The biennial rhythm (a shift in 2020 to one edition every 2 years) results from a deliberate trade-off to maintain a quality experience for exhibitors and visitors alike.
