Interpack 2026

Marchesini Group will take part in Interpack 2026, the Düsseldorf trade fair dedicated to the world of packaging and processing, scheduled from 7 to 13 May 2026. The company will once again welcome customers, suppliers and partners in Hall 15, Stand A42 1‑6, presenting areas dedicated to sustainability, primary packaging and aseptic filling, along with robotics, digital solutions, artificial intelligence applications and traceability. Visitors will be guided through a pathway highlighting technologies and services designed to meet the needs of the pharmaceutical and cosmetic markets, going beyond the state of the art and maintaining a forward‑looking vision of the industry’s future. 

“Interpack 2026 will be an important opportunity for Marchesini Group to present its latest innovations, including a machine for filling and capping non‑injectable liquids,” comments Valerio Soli, CEO of Marchesini Group. “We will also showcase several solutions from the Aseptic Business Unit, giving visibility to our ongoing collaboration with AST. Sustainability and robotics will take centre stage as we support our customers in implementing the PPWR regulation, balancing product safety, traceability and material recyclability” 

One of the main innovations at this year’s edition will be ORBITA‑L, a modular machine for filling and capping non‑injectable liquid products, featuring two key advancements: a magnetic transport system that enables 100% in‑process weight control (100% IPC) and a servo‑driven dip tube tightening unit that optimises the capping phase. This solution, presented for the first time, will be located in a reserved area accessible by appointment only. 

The over‑1,500‑square‑metre booth will also host several flagship solutions from the Aseptic Business Unit, which offers a complete range of technologies for filling lines dedicated to injectable products. A compact system for the automated filling and closing of vials, syringes and cartridges will be on display, as well as a monobloc machine for the automatic inspection of syringes, equipped with integrated denesting and renesting units. 

A large area will also be dedicated to sustainability. Marchesini Group will showcase its expertise in developing machines and production lines capable of packaging products using paper, mono‑material plastics, recyclable and recycled‑content materials, as well as aluminum. In recent years, collaboration with suppliers and customers has led to the creation of a dedicated team committed to turning the PPWR Regulation guidelines into a concrete opportunity for innovation and growth. 

To further explore these topics, a series of talks on European regulations will be held at the stand, with a focus on technologies that enable the progressive replacement of PVC and the introduction of recyclable mono‑material alternatives for blister and tray thermoforming. The sustainability area will also feature an integrated and robotised high‑speed line for packaging blister packs made entirely of polypropylene, paired with a cartoner equipped with a new automatic carton magazine, showcased for the first time. The line will also include an AI‑based Line Clearance system developed by SEA Vision, a company specialised in vision systems for product traceability. 

However, sustainability is not limited to packaging materials. The commitment also extends to prolonging the lifecycle of machines thanks to Rinova, the company created to give new life to original Marchesini models through a complete remanufacturing process. This commitment will be showcased in a very tangible way: a refurbished cartoner will be displayed, assembled only up to 60%. During the exhibition days, the Rinova team will continue the assembly directly on-site, bringing the workshop to the fair and showing visitors how the remanufacturing process takes place. 

A dedicated area will also be reserved for cosmetic packaging. Marchesini Group Beauty will showcase two lines for packaging liquid products: one consisting of a compact robotic feeder and a filling machine capable of handling different types of bottles, the result of close collaboration between Axomatic and Vibrotech; the other featuring an automatic tube filling and dosing machine for plastic tubes, paired with an automatic cartoner from V2 engineering. 

Lastly, a dedicated area will be reserved for robotics and the new frontiers of artificial intelligence. In fact, several models from the Next Generation Robotics platform will be unveiled at the fair, a new generation of industrial robots built on modular, high‑performance multi‑axis architectures, integrated with advanced machine vision systems and AI–Deep Learning algorithms. These technologies enable systems to dynamically adapt to increasingly complex production environments, manage unstructured scenarios, and operate with high precision even under variable and non‑deterministic conditions, responding to a market where reliability and production flexibility are essential competitive factors. An interactive installation will also be featured, designed to showcase all the robotic applications developed over the years.

AI will also underpin the “Morpheus” predictive maintenance solution, which visitors will be able to explore at the show, along with the services available through the customer portal (including online digital machine documentation, the Service Platform for managing support requests, the interactive spare parts manual), and the augmented reality format‑change system.
