Cannex & Fillex – the World Canmaking Congress, is an international showcase of the latest canmaking and filling technologies from around the world. It is the perfect place to review the latest metal packaging equipment, materials and services and to make or re-establish valuable business contacts. Whether you are a canmaker, filler or a supplier to these industries, Cannex & Fillex continues to be a focal point to help you develop your business, exchange information, discuss new technologies and meet the people that you need to see in one place at one time. Cannex & Fillex Asia Pacific returns to Guangzhou, China, 16-19 July 2024 and will be held at the Pazhou Complex. Time and again, Cannex & Fillex has proved itself as a metal packaging and filling platform, offering unparalleled doorways to the Asian market and to the world.

Our idea is to offer the opportunity to those canmakers in the Southern cone of the Americas to be able to attend. Canmakers from other countries have shown interest in visiting a different part of the continent and learning about the current market situation in the region. Attendees will have the opportunity to visit this beautiful and historic city, meet current and prospective customers and enjoy everything the neighborhood of Puerto Madero has to offer.

Every three years Messe Essen with METPACK becomes the most important global meeting place for the international metal packaging industry. Numerous global players present sustainable and cost-efficient solutions for the production, refinement, painting and recycling of metal packaging at the world's leading trade fair. Metpack is the nucleus for innovation and a communication platform at the same time. The METPACK Innovation Award is also presented at every trade fair. Most recently, it went to the manufacturer of a high-performance UV LED system for curing printing inks, lacquers and adhesives on metal packaging. The absence of mercury means that there is no ozone and no undesirable radiation. As the undisputed No. 1 in the industry, METPACK impressively demonstrates the level of innovation and knowledge of today and tomorrow.

Bringing together 45,000 attendees and 2,500 exhibiting companies with packaging and processing solutions for 40+ vertical markets, PACK EXPO International is one powerful show. Come to experience innovative solutions in action, explore educational sessions, problem-solve in real time and enjoy networking and idea-sharing across industries. There really is nothing else like being there.

For over three decades, The Canmaker Summit has served as a hub for the global metal packaging and filling industry. Each year companies and individuals gather to exchange ideas, discuss current trends and make valuable connections. Since its inception in the UK in 1988, The Canmaker Summit has traveled the world stopping in cities across Europe, Japan, the UAE, Hong Kong, North and South America. The event is known for its exceptional line-up of speakers and delegates, offering attendees the chance to explore the latest industry developments and network with canmakers, fillers and suppliers from around the globe. With over 150 attendees each year, The Canmaker Summit actively encourages face-to-face meetings to delve deeper into subjects and spark new business alliances and ideas.

A highlight of The Canmaker Summit is the annual Cans of the Year Awards, where we recognise and reward the industry’s top achievements and innovations. Delegates have the opportunity to see all the shortlisted cans, vote for the Delegates’ Choice Award, and meet the individuals behind the productions.
