Morocco in Focus: The interpack alliance Expands Its Network

North Africa is attracting growing attention from the international processing and packaging industries. With the launch of Morocco Food World, the interpack alliance is expanding its portfolio with a new trade fair in Morocco. In this interview, Thomas Dohse, Director of interpack, discusses the opportunities offered by this location, why the region is gaining importance for the industry, and the role the new event is set to play within the global interpack alliance network.

To be honest, I’m absolutely delighted. Whenever a new member joins the interpack alliance, it feels a little like the family is growing. And as the interpack alliance expands, so does the strength of our international network for the processing and packaging industries.

Morocco Food World enhances our presence in a region where food production is being continuously expanded and modernised. It creates a platform for exchanging knowledge on the latest technologies and solutions across the entire value chain. That holistic perspective is exactly what makes the interpack alliance relevant to industry professionals around the world.

Morocco is a dynamic growth market with a strong food industry and a strategically important position between Europe and Africa. At the same time, many companies are investing in modern production capacities. As food production continues to expand, the demand for advanced processing technologies, safe and efficient production processes, and modern packaging solutions is growing as well.

This is precisely where the strengths of the companies represented at our trade fairs come into play. That is why now is the right time to integrate the region more closely into the international network of the interpack alliance.

Successful trade fairs are always built on strong partnerships. FENAGRI is exceptionally well connected within Morocco’s food industry and has a deep understanding of the market’s needs. This local expertise perfectly complements our international know-how in processing and packaging.

What I particularly appreciate is the spirit of partnership behind the collaboration. Both sides contribute their strengths, learn from one another and work towards a shared goal. That combination of local market knowledge and global industry expertise creates a strong foundation for the long-term success of Morocco Food World.

Morocco Food World opens the door to a market that is currently developing at a remarkable pace. As the country continues to modernise its food production sector, demand is growing for innovative solutions in processing, production efficiency, product safety and packaging.

For suppliers of machinery, technologies and packaging solutions, this creates access to concrete investment projects and new business opportunities. The combination of food, processing and packaging is precisely what makes Morocco Food World such a natural addition to the international portfolio of the interpack alliance.

I hope that the exhibition will establish itself as the leading platform for the food, processing and packaging industries in the region. Our goal is to showcase innovation, drive technological progress and support companies in addressing the challenges they face.

If Morocco Food World helps bring modern processing and packaging solutions into practical application while fostering sustainable growth across the region, that would be a tremendous success.
