interpack
Premiere surpasses all expectations
On 2 March, 1958, the time had finally come: The interpack celebrated its premiere. 32,544 trade visitors from a total of 42 countries flocked to Düsseldorf, in order to visit the exhibits of 255 companies from nine different nations on an exhibition surface area of 30,000 m2. Germany so far had lacked a fair specially dedicated to the packaging industry. The positive international feedback and the extremely high share of foreign guests and exhibitors showed that the concept to unite packaging machines, confectionery machines and packaging means in one trade fair was well accepted abroad. It showed the interpack as the ideal venue. Despite many critical opinions before the fair, with the interpack, a top-global trade fair and an international forum for the entire packaging sector was created.
