Now in its 7th edition, CCE International is firmly established as a premier sourcing hub for production equipment. As such, it draws technology buyers from across the global corrugated and cartonboard industry – from board manufacturers and converters to packaging designers and printing specialists. With visitor registration in full swing, the 2025 event is once again on track for a strong international attendance. CCE Europe’s record edition in 2019 welcomed 2,406 trade visitors from 79 countries, demonstrating the show’s global reach and industry appeal.Many of the 100 specialist exhibitors will bring their live machinery to Munich. Visitors can look forward to a new generation of high-speed equipment, packed with advanced automation and digital features to boost connectivity and workflows. Sustainability remains a key focus, with energy-efficient machinery helping manufacturers cut waste and shrink their environmental footprint.
Attendees will have plenty of opportunities to personally meet production experts from well-known brands such as Vice, Officina Meccanica Sestese, Tien Chin Yu Machinery, Talleres Serra, Macarbox, Baysek Machines, Höcker Polytechnik, Messersi Packaging, Bahmüller, Pentatech, Balemaster Europe, Robatech, Solarco Machinery, Kolbus Group, EDF Europe, and CUIR Corrugated. Overall, the corrugated and folding carton sector relies heavily on custom-built machinery and good supplier relations, as Patrick Herman, Event Director for Converting, Paper and Print Events at RX, explains:
“Every production line has unique requirements, making off-the-shelf solutions rare. Investing in custom-built machinery is a long-term commitment, and having a reliable supplier ensures not only seamless integration but also ongoing technical support and innovation. CCE International provides a hands-on experience with direct access to live machinery and – just as importantly – a collaborative environment to build lasting partnerships that help businesses stay competitive. Our entire show concept is built around the industry’s three key pillars: tailored solutions, expert guidance, and future- proof technologies."
