ABOUT THE FAIR
Propak Africa is the leading trade show in Africa for the packaging, printing, food processing, plastics, and labeling industries. It takes place every three years at the Johannesburg Expo Centre in South Africa – the country’s largest exhibition venue and a key hub for international business in Southern Africa.
Organized by Specialised Exhibitions – Montgomery Group, a seasoned event organizer with a strong presence in the African market, Propak Africa is exclusively geared towards industry professionals and decision-makers in the fields of packaging, processing, labeling, printing, and recycling. It serves as a central platform for sharing cutting-edge technologies, sustainable solutions, and emerging business opportunities.
The event places a strong emphasis on innovation and future trends. More than just a product showcase, it acts as a catalyst for sustainable development, technological advancement, and high-level professional dialogue. Highlights include smart packaging solutions, advanced labeling and printing technologies, and resource-efficient recycling methods that combine economic efficiency with environmental responsibility.
A key focus is the use of sustainable materials and the responsible management of raw resources – addressing current global challenges while offering practical, solution-oriented approaches. This is complemented by innovations in food processing and safety, which are equally vital to both manufacturers and suppliers.
Propak Africa is aimed at anyone looking to understand, shape, or strategically enter the African market for industrial processing and packaging. Together with its co-located events – Pro-Plas Expo, GAPP Print Expo, Pro-Label Expo, and FoodPro Expo – it presents a comprehensive industry overview, fostering synergies and offering added value to attendees.
Daily seminars are another highlight of the program, covering topics such as technological innovation, sustainability, women in industry, and regional best practices. These sessions offer valuable opportunities for knowledge sharing, networking, and gaining fresh insights.
Propak Africa stands as a vital meeting point for innovation, collaboration, and sustainable progress in one of the world’s most dynamic economic regions – delivering tangible benefits for all players in the processing and packaging industries.
The Propak Africa will take place on 4 days from Tuesday, 07. March to Friday, 10. March 2028 in Johannesburg.
