TAROPAK 2026 – three days that powered the packaging industry in Poznań

Nearly 300 exhibitors, over 8,000 visitors, representatives of public administration, business, trade and foreign partners. TAROPAK 2026, held alongside the POLAGRA trade fair, once again showed that the strength of the Polish packaging industry lies not only in cutting-edge technology, but also in people, relationships and the ambition to grow business far beyond the country's borders.

For three days, the Poznań International Fair served as a shared meeting platform for packaging manufacturers, machinery suppliers, logistics specialists, as well as food producers and trade representatives, forming one joint exhibition block with TAROPAK and POLAGRA. It was precisely this closeness between the two industries — packaging and food — that gave this year's edition its distinctive character.

One block, two industries, shared value

The numbers only tell part of the story. Because the joint edition of TAROPAK and POLAGRA is, above all, hundreds of conversations held every day at the stands, in networking spaces and during business meetings — about new contracts, exports, investments, technology and the future of the packaging market.

Business and public administration at one table

This year's edition was also marked by an especially strong presence of public administration representatives. Attendees included Małgorzata Gromadzka, Secretary of State at the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development, and Grzegorz Wrona, Undersecretary of State at the Ministry of State Assets. During the official opening, alongside business representatives, the event also welcomed representatives of central and regional administration, the diplomatic corps, and industry organizations.

The conversations addressed concrete challenges facing the sector — supply security, production costs, energy, and the competitiveness of Polish companies, including packaging and machinery manufacturers.

From product to relationship. From conversation to business

At the TAROPAK stands, visitors could discover new technologies and solutions in packaging, labeling and logistics — but above all, meet the people behind them: manufacturers, buyers, importers and distributors.

The international character of this year's edition was further strengthened by the Hosted Buyers Program, which brought selected foreign buyers to Poznań looking for specific product categories — benefiting exhibitors from both events, TAROPAK and POLAGRA.

Three days. One shared direction

TAROPAK 2026 showcased an industry that is diverse, yet increasingly aware of its shared purpose. On one side — packaging and technology manufacturers we can be proud of. On the other — food, trade, administration and institutions, without which it would be hard to imagine further scaling of the business. And that is exactly what the joint TAROPAK and POLAGRA block is about: it brings together people who have the knowledge, the products, the opportunities and the shared ambition, and then gives them the space for something more to grow out of these meetings.
