ABOUT THE FAIR
ProPak MENA (Processing and Packaging Middle East and North Africa) is an internationally recognized trade fair for the food and beverage industry. Since its inception in 2012, it has been held annually at the Egypt International Exhibition Center (EIEC) in Cairo. The event is organized by Informa Exhibitions Egypt, a global leader in trade shows and conferences known for creating innovative industry platforms with international reach and regional relevance.
Serving as a central hub for processing, packaging, and logistics solutions, ProPak MENA offers comprehensive insights into technological advancements and strategic trends shaping the food industry across Egypt, North Africa, and the Middle East. The exhibition highlights forward-looking production and packaging technologies, sustainable materials, automation, and digital innovations – including Artificial Intelligence and the Internet of Things – alongside measures for quality assurance and food safety.
The fair adopts a highly practical approach. In addition to the exhibition area showcasing cutting-edge machinery and innovative packaging solutions, professional visitors can benefit from an extensive supporting program. This includes workshops, certified training courses (offered by organizations such as UNIDO and the World Packaging Organisation), and expert conferences. Key topics include pressing industry challenges such as circular economy, CO₂ reduction, and hygiene standards.
A distinctive feature of ProPak MENA is its commitment to diversity – particularly through dedicated initiatives promoting women in the food and beverage sector. The event also offers exclusive networking formats such as VIP business matchmaking, as well as export promotion programs designed to help local companies access international markets more effectively. It targets a qualified professional audience: manufacturers, engineers, packaging specialists, and decision-makers from sectors such as production, mechanical engineering, logistics, and wholesale attend the fair to initiate business deals and exchange knowledge.
As part of the international ProPak trade show series – with additional locations across Asia, South America, and other regions – ProPak MENA is the leading platform of its kind for Africa and the Middle East. It plays an active role in supporting Egypt’s economic development and enjoys broad backing from government bodies.
