SACMI @ Interpack 2026

From 7 to 13 May 2026 in Düsseldorf, Germany, SACMI will be at Interpack, the leading international fair dedicated to technologies for the packaging and processing industry.

As usual, the SACMI Rigid Packaging Business Unit will be exhibiting in Hall 4 – Booth F06, along with SACMI Packaging & Chocolate. Together, they’ll be highlighting the Group's extensive expertise in packaging, vision and automation solutions, showcasing an integrated approach that combines expertise in everything, from materials to technologies and automation of the quality control process.

Cellulose, PURECAP, multi-layer cap

Technological advances in terms of new materials and sustainability are at the heart of SACMI's offering at Interpack. For example, the new SACMI line for cellulose fiber caps uses dry molding technology to produce - with short cycle times - caps with excellent mechanical properties. One of its main applications - already offered to the market - is the production of caps and single-dose capsules (such as coffee pods), opening up new horizons for sustainable packaging.

Alongside cellulose stands the SACMI PURECAP™ project, which aims to create a sustainable packaging supply chain based on the use of recycled, food-grade certified rHDPE. Aided by Europe’s introduction of the tethered standard, this project aims to create a cap-to-cap supply chain of recycled HDPE: to do so, it uses caps retrieved (separated from the PET bottle via a mechanical recycling process and decontaminated) from the beverage supply chain. Completing SACMI's offering, this solution aims to accompany customers throughout the development process, from the supply of raw materials to functional-mechanical testing of pellets and finished caps, with close support from the Rigid Packaging Lab. The goal: to provide a complete industrial supply chain and outpace regulatory developments in the sector.

CCMM and multilayer applications will also play a prominent role at the fair. These enable the production of caps and pods with sophisticated material architectures; simultaneously, they improve packaging performance and sustainability thanks to flexible layer management and offer, again, the opportunity of introducing alternative, low-impact materials into the process.

Tethered: the easy way

SACMI offers outstanding tethered closure manufacturing solutions. SACMI will be highlighting its vast portfolio of Lab-developed tethered solutions based on the latest cap-neck standards, designed to lessen the environmental impact of packaging and enhance the customer experience. 

Increasingly appealing - also on markets outside Europe, where the tethered standard is mandatory - the SACMI range combines extensive product development expertise with the option of adopting post-processing slitting, thus streamlining the transition and offering significant advantages over alternative technologies. New developments in the closures sector include PET caps, produced with a dedicated CCM, an option for obtaining premium caps.

Velomat: high-performance assembly solutions

Interpack will also be showcasing solutions from Velomat, a SACMI Group company specializing in the development of automatic assembly systems and machines. Velomat has been designing and building high-speed assembly machines for caps and closures, micro-pumps, medical-pharmaceutical packaging and connectors for over thirty years and provides high-speed assembly solutions. 

Quality and Process Control: towards total automation 

Vision systems are increasingly crucial to modern manufacturing, and SACMI is steadily evolving them in the direction of process control. Technologies on display will include PVS Robot, an automated off-line preform inspection system: a development of the tried-and-tested PVS002, this integrates a Scara robot for handling and a fully automated format magazine that allows preforms from different presses to be inspected without any need for manual format changeover tasks. Able to inspect up to 1,200 pieces/hour (without weighing), the system features a modular, scalable architecture, including integrated weighing and configurable compliance thresholds. New features include roller positioners with automatic format changeover and bin picking options that use articulated robots and 3D sensors. 

Alongside these technologies, in synergy with the Packaging & Chocolate range on the stand, visitors can also see the new chocolate cremino wrapping inspection system. Part of the new integrated end-of-line wrapping solution, this application highlights how SACMI's quality control expertise extends into the confectionery sector.

SACMI service and Global Network

SACMI’s presence at Interpack confirms its role as a key technology partner to the global packaging industry and a provider of an advanced product range that integrates material, process and automation expertise. Ultimately, the goal is to help manufacturers transition to increasingly sustainable, high-quality packaging, with SACMI service providing all-round support, from product design to complete technologies.
