1,440 companies exhibited at FachPack 2013, 285 of them for the first time in Nuremberg in late September. The German packaging industry was strongly represented as always, this time by 1,040 firms. 400 exhibitors (28 %) travelled to Nürnberg mainly from the neighbouring countries – the Netherlands (57), Italy (54), Switzerland (43), the Czech Republic (42) and Austria (35). FachPack specializes in products and services along the packaging process chain in the segments of packaging (678 exhibitors), technology (531), processing (219) and logistics (386). But as FachPack has “only” 1,440 exhibitors, this means a good quarter of the mainly small and medium enterprises showed products and services in several segments of the packaging process chain.
