Empack Exhibitor List

The exhibitor list is a working tool for anyone attending Empack in Brussels. It shows which companies plan to be on the floor, so you can decide where to spend your time. Sales teams use it to build target account lists before the show. Buyers use it to shortlist packaging and logistics suppliers. Researchers use it to map who is active in the sector. Because the event runs for three days, a clear plan matters. Pick the halls and stands that match your goals, note the companies you want to meet, and leave room for unplanned conversations. The list does not guarantee every contact will be available, but it gives you a strong starting point.

• Shortlist companies before you travel
• Plan meetings around three show days
• Compare suppliers in one location

If you sell packaging machinery, materials, software or logistics services, Empack puts many potential buyers in one place. The exhibitor list lets you sort companies by segment, size and relevance. You can research each one, find the right contact and prepare a short, specific message. Then book meetings before the show opens. On the floor, use your list to track who you have seen and who you still need to visit. After the event, follow up while the conversations are fresh. This is standard trade show practice, and the list makes it faster. It also helps you avoid wasting time on companies that do not fit your offer. Availability of individual contacts varies, so confirm details as you go.

• Sort exhibitors by fit and priority
• Book meetings before arrival
• Follow up quickly after the show

Buyers and procurement teams can use the list to plan a focused sourcing trip. Identify exhibitors that supply the materials, machines or services you need. Group them by category: flexible packaging, rigid containers, labelling, automation, logistics, and so on. At the show, you can see equipment running, ask technical questions and compare quotes in person. Bring your specifications and volumes so suppliers can respond properly. The list helps you set a route through the halls and avoid missing key stands. It also gives you a record of who you spoke to. Not every supplier will have the exact solution you need, but the show is a good place to narrow the field and decide next steps.

• Group suppliers by category
• Bring specs and volume data
• Compare quotes face to face

Analysts and researchers can treat the exhibitor list as a signal of activity in Packaging & Logistics. Companies that invest in a stand are usually pushing a product, a market or a region. By tracking who exhibits over time, you can spot shifts in focus, new entrants and changing priorities. At the 2026 edition, the list covers large groups and smaller specialists. You can note which segments are crowded and which are quiet. Combine this with conference topics and press releases for a fuller picture. The list is not a full market report, but it is a practical input. Use it to ask better questions and to plan interviews on site.

• Spot active and emerging players
• Compare segments across the floor
• Pair list data with conference themes

Brussels Expo is a large venue, and Empack uses several halls. With around 350 exhibitors, you cannot see everything in detail. Use the list to build a simple route. Start with your highest-priority stands, then work outward. Check the floor plan and note hall numbers. Leave time for the sustainable packaging, automation and logistics zones. If you are new to the show, spend the first hour getting oriented, then follow your plan. Wear comfortable shoes and carry a small notebook or use your phone. The goal is to have useful conversations, not to collect every brochure. A focused route based on the exhibitor list makes the three days more productive.

• Prioritise stands before you walk
• Check halls and zones in advance
• Leave room for spontaneous meetings

The exhibitor list is useful after Empack too. Once you are home, review who you met and who you missed. Send follow-up messages while people remember the conversation. Add notes about what each company offers and what you agreed. For sales teams, this becomes a pipeline. For buyers, it becomes a shortlist for samples, trials or requests for quotation. For researchers, it becomes a record of the 2026 edition. Keep the list alongside your notes so you can compare with future events. This small habit makes each show more valuable than the last. It also helps you decide whether to return next year and who to see first.

• Follow up within a few days
• Record what each contact offers
• Compare notes with future editions
