The International Processing and Packaging Exhibition — ProPak Hanoi 2026 — will take place from October 13 to 15, 2026, at the Vietnam Exposition Center in Dong Anh, Hanoi.
As Northern Vietnam emerges as a pivotal industrial growth hub, fueled by an explosion of industrial zones, global supply chain shifts, and a surge in Foreign Direct Investment (FDI), ProPak Hanoi 2026 is set to become the premier platform for connecting knowledge, technology, and business opportunities across the food, beverage, pharmaceutical, and logistics industries.
Spanning over 4,000 sq.m, the event will showcase the latest advancements in processing technology, packaging, automation, smart factories, and cold chain logistics.
Speaking at the press conference on June 25, Senior Manager of Informa Markets Vietnam, Ms. Annie Tran, said "Businesses no longer compete solely on scale or cost. Today’s competition is defined by operational efficiency, technological integration, quality standards, sustainability, and the capacity to participate in global supply chains."
According to Ms. Tran, a modern production line does more than just increase productivity; it serves as a vital tool for businesses to minimize waste, optimize quality control, and meet the stringent demands of international markets.
Chairman of the Vietnam Beer, Alcohol, and Beverage Association (VBA), Mr. Nguyen Van Viet, noted that for the beverage industry, processing, filling, and packaging technologies must be viewed as strategic pillars of development. He argued that these are no longer just technical components of a production line, but factors that directly impact product quality, operational efficiency, and overall market competitiveness.
From a research and application perspective, Assoc. Prof. Dr. Nguyen Duy Lam, President of the Vietnam Association of Food Science and Technology, asserted that science and technology are the "keys" to the industry’s major breakthroughs.
“Processing, preservation, and packaging technologies are no longer isolated technical stages; they have become fundamental elements that determine the efficiency of the entire value chain. From reducing post-harvest losses and enhancing product quality to ensuring food safety and expanding export markets, modern technology is the direct contributor to every success,” said Mr. Lam.
