“EXPO PACK Guadalajara continues its strong growth trajectory with the 2025 show setting records for attendance, exhibitors, and exhibit space,” reported Celia Navarrete, EXPO PACK director. “We are proud to welcome attendees from Mexico and throughout Latin America to an event that identifies the latest trends and provides opportunities to see equipment, forge valuable partnerships, and achieve a more sustainable future.”

“EXPO PACK Guadalajara 2025 not only broke records — it reinforced the region’s leadership in packaging and processing innovation,” said Jim Pittas, president and CEO, PMMI. “This year’s success proves that Latin America is not just keeping pace with global trends — it’s helping shape them. The energy, engagement, and high-caliber attendees made it clear that this is the place where real progress happens.”

The show floor was packed with innovations ranging from smart packaging and automation to sustainable materials. Sustainability was a major focus with the EXPO PACK Verde program reinforcing the industry’s growing commitment to environmental responsibility and spotlighting sustainable packaging practices and products such as biodegradable, recyclable, and low-impact packaging innovations.

Live equipment demonstrations allowed attendees to experience machinery in action and discover operational efficiencies in real time. The new Containers & Materials Pavilion presented the latest packaging materials innovations, while the Digital Transformation Pavilion demonstrated how capturing and analyzing data can maximize efficiency, boost productivity, and overcome workforce shortages.

“EXPO PACK is extremely important for the industry,” says Salvador Nondo, project maintenance lead at Bacardi. “It’s the only national-level event where you can see different processes and equipment for the industry firsthand.”
