10 football fields of technology, innovation and business opportunities, 1037 participants from 16 countries, new markets – for the first time, exhibitors from Saudi Arabia and Brazil came – this is what a real industry explosion means!

What surprised everyone?

The record area is 6 exhibition halls of Crocus Expo in two pavilions - 18 sections of exhibitions for businesses of any scale.

Robots vs. manual labor — automation has become the main trend. And SMG Technology sold the equipment directly from the booth — customers did not want to wait.

Eco-packaging is back in the top — the general partner of the Arkhangelsk Pulp and Paper Mill exhibition and the ESG partner of RosUpack, PCBK, showed how recycled paper and cardboard can look premium. And Danaflex surprised with a biodegradable film that is not inferior to a conventional one.

A souvenir photo - the installation from the blogger "Things from the Pipes" became a hit: the queue of those wishing to take a creative photo with colleagues did not dry up all three days.

Who came?

The entire top FMCG and retail: PepsiCo, Danone, L'Oréal, Nestlé, Wildberries, Ozon, X5 Group and dozens of others. There is a particular stir in the area of digital printing (Printech) and finished packaging (RosUpack). 30,416 professionals from 46 countries and 84 regions of Russia. Printech visits increased by 25% compared to last year!

Who supported it?

The list of partners of the current season's exhibitions has been updated. The events were held with the support of the Ministry of Natural Resources of the Russian Federation, the Ministry of Industry and Trade of the Russian Federation and the Chamber of Commerce and Industry of the Russian Federation.

The Shanghai Association of Packaging Technology organized a VIP delegation to visit RosUpack/Printech, and the Association of Printing and Printing Equipment Manufacturers of China invited exhibition director Sergey Dityov to give a speech at its domestic exhibition Print China 2025.

The general partner of the RosUpack exhibition was Arkhangelsk Pulp and Paper Mill. The GT Group became a strategic partner of the exhibition. The partner of the Equipment section was HD RUS. The official partner of the business program is NEOPOLIS. The co-organizer of the business program and a partner of RosUpack was the National Confederation of Packers (NCPak). For the first time, partners of Avito and Ozon-Bank joined the participation.

Terra Print, Syktyvkar (Taiga brand), and ILIM were partners of the RosUpack exhibition, and PCBK was an ESG partner with a special project for recycling waste paper.

The management of the exhibition expresses its deep gratitude to the information partners of RosUpack and Printech: the magazine "Packaging and Packaging", which celebrated its 30th anniversary this season and has supported the exhibition throughout its existence. The main Internet partner of the Unipack.ru, the UpackUnion channel, for supporting the pulp and paper section of the exhibition, the Kursiv publishing house and the August Borg Information and Analytical Center for their long-term cooperation, and the PUBLISH publishing house for supporting the Printech exhibition.

What and how was discussed in the business program?

For the first time, both conference halls of the RosUpack and Printech business program were built up on the exhibition site, which made it possible to invite even more experts, create unique content and gather more than 1700 unique visitors. And this is 21% more than last year. As part of the program, 141 industry experts, including 6 representatives of the authorities: the Ministry of Natural Resources of Russia, the Ministry of Industry and Trade of Russia and the Chamber of Commerce and Industry of the Russian Federation, spoke in 24 sessions - which is a record number of events of the RosUpack and Printech business programs.

The Printech business program grew to a full three days and also delighted its visitors with a variety of practical lectures and workshops and even business games. Topics: logistics, labeling, food safety and human resources for the industry.

How did you connect?

After the end of the exhibitions, 14,399 participants from 1,373 companies were registered in the RosUpack Connect community, and this is already the population of a small country. The lead scanning service and the system for scheduling appointments and smart recommendations have proven themselves well on event days, so we will continue to make participation and visits of professionals even more effective.

RosUpack and Printech 2025 have set a new standard. We are waiting for the exhibition from June 16 to 19, 2026 — it will be even larger!
