From 11–13 March 2025, the international corrugated and folding carton industry will gather for the 7th edition of CCE International at the Munich Trade Fair Centre in Germany. With its unique technology focus on corrugated board and folding carton production, CCE International remains Europe’s number one trade event in this sector with global reach to key growth markets, notably the USA and Asia. Show preparations fall into a time of cautious optimism for a positive long-term outlook as the industry embraces a collective drive towards greener materials and emerging technologies.

 

The international meeting point for corrugated board and carton production, CCE International, returns to Munich in March 2025. The three-day event has become a trusted destination for technology buyers looking to source bespoke machinery, accessories and services for the efficient and cost-effective production of corrugated board and folding carton. Alongside a strong international line-up of leading suppliers, the event features two popular conferences revolving around the production and converting of corrugated board as well as print applications within the manufacturing process. Attendees are also invited to benefit from extra input and synergies from the co-located ICE Europe, the world’s leading exhibition for the converting of paper, film and foil.

 

“The board and carton industry plays a key role in Europe’s transition towards sustainability. In addition, we expect further growth potential in markets overseas, fuelled by industrial expansion and increased consumer purchasing power. Meanwhile, the industry is facing challenges in form of market fluctuations, rising raw material costs, changing consumer demands, and a shortage of skilled labour, just to name a few”, says Patrick Herman, Event Director for Converting, Paper and Print Events. 

 

He continues: “In this complex market, CCE International offers a key platform for industry engagement and technical innovation – we gather the leading suppliers under one roof and facilitate first-hand sourcing and networking opportunities, including live machine demonstrations and expert talks to help share professional insights and knowledge. The latest advancements in automation and digital printing provide the corrugated and folding carton industries with powerful tools to maximize efficiency and precision, turning obstacles into growth opportunities."

CCE International primarily addresses corrugated board and carton manufacturers and their target markets, including e-commerce and retail, food and beverage, pharmaceutical, transport and logistics, industrial packaging, consumer electronics, luxury goods, furniture, textile, fashion, and many more. 

 

Visitors can look forward to exclusive access and networking opportunities with well-known international brands, including Vice, Officina Meccanica Sestese, Tien Chin Yu Machinery, Talleres Serra, Macarbox, Baysek Machines, Höcker Polytechnik, Messersi Packaging, Bahmüller, Pentatech, Gazella Atlantique, Robatech, Pentatech, and CUIR Corrugated, complemented by highly specialised SMEs showcasing their innovative strength on the market.

 

Exhibits cover the full spectrum of corrugating lines and corrugated converting equipment, folding carton converting equipment, systems for machine and plant control, materials handling and warehousing, waste extraction and baling, consumables, and print machinery, systems and solutions.

 

With its broad offering of exhibits and engaging expert talks, the upcoming edition of CCE International will once again transform Munich's show grounds into a vibrant centre for corrugated board and cartonboard innovation, linking buyers with the latest the market has to offer, and providing plenty of opportunities to explore, assess and discuss how these new technologies can benefit their production processes.
