Plenty to see in the first half of the trade fair year!
February 9, 2026
The interpack trade fair in Düsseldorf in May 2026 is sure to be one of the highlights. However, HEUFT will also be presenting intelligent innovations at ten other international exhibitions, shows and congresses in the first half of the year.
The trade fair season is finally back! And we can't wait to present our latest new and further developments for intelligent in-line inspection in the filling and packaging process of beverages, food and pharmaceuticals at numerous shows, also to those who may not have made it to the major industry gatherings and innovation platforms such as drinktec in Munich last year.
In the first half of 2026, there will once again be opportunities on five continents to see for yourself the exceptional detection reliability of our newly developed intelligent inspection and image processing technologies. We will be present at more than ten international trade fairs before the end of May – showcasing everything that high-performance optics, pulsed X-ray and AI now have to offer in terms of gapless empty and full container inspection.
For safely bottled beverages!
It all kicks off on 17 February, when the four-day Pack Expo East starts in Philadelphia, USA. Just like at BrewExpo America, which takes place two months later, from 20 to 22 April, in parallel with the Craft Brewers Conference 2026 in the same city, the focus here will be on new deep learning algorithms developed in-house, which now also detect defects that were previously undetectable when inspecting beverage bottles before filling. We will also be presenting compact devices for entry-level quality control of already filled bottles and cans on a HEUFT level at both trade fairs.
This also applies to CFIA 2026 in Rennes, France, where we will be presenting the slimline HEUFT ONE full container check device with extended functionality from 10 to 12 March 2026, along with numerous other technologies for greater safety, quality and efficiency in the filling process and fault-free end products. Compact checking and intelligent inspection systems for ensuring sustainable packaging integrity and product quality in beverage filling and food packing will also be the focus of our activities at Empack 2026, which will take place from 14 to 16 April in Gornichem, Netherlands, at drink technology Delhi from 22 to 24 April in India, and at Sitevinitec from 12 to 15 May in Mendoza, Argentina.
For complete packaging and drug safety!
Our offering at a total of three pharmaceutical events, on the other hand, will focus entirely on HEUFT systems developed specifically for this industry, which, for example, perform container closure integrity testing (CCI) and quality inspection of empty and filled primary packaging such as vials or blow-fill-seal infusion bottles. Even when it comes to difficult-to-inspect products (DIPs) such as prefillable syringes, they achieve exceptional detection and rejection reliability.
You can see this for yourself from 21 to 25 March at PharmaTechnica 2016, which is taking place parallel to the PharmaCongress in Wiesbaden. And from 21 to 23 April at Interphex in New York City and at the PDA Visual Forum in Dublin, where everything will revolve around flawlessly manufactured and packaged parenteral products on 19 and 20 May 2026.
For fault-free and foreign object-free packaged end products!
Our presences at Djazagro 2026 from 12 to 14 April in Algiers and at interpack from 7 to 13 May in Düsseldorf, which will be the highlight of the first half of the trade fair year, will again focus on food manufacturers and beverage bottlers. In addition to high-performance technologies and equipment for empty bottle and empty can inspection, the programme will include intelligent methods for the intelligent X-ray detection of dangerous foreign objects in food jars and cans.
At interpack 2026 in particular, there will also be in-depth insights into the new possibilities offered by our deep learning AI, including for the complete optical finish inspection of wide-neck jars of various formats and sizes – and innovative IT solutions for consistent track & trace.
All HEUFT trade fair dates, including hall and stand numbers, can be found in our online trade fair calendar, which is continuously updated as always.
