Greetings from the Chairman

- ChairmanYuki Ikuta
The Chubu Packaging and Food Machinery Association will hold “2026 Chubu Pack” at Port Messe Nagoya, Exhibition Hall 1 from April 22 (Wed.) to 25 (Sat.), 2026. Chubu Pack is the only comprehensive exhibition in the Chubu region related to food and packaging with a history of 47 years since the first exhibition was held in 1979, being held biannually, and this time will be the 25th. We would like to take this opportunity to express our sincere appreciation for the support of government agencies and various organizations, as well as the understanding and cooperation of all exhibitors, which have made it possible for us to hold this exhibition for so many years.
In 2026 Chubu Pack we will prepare for a comprehensive exhibition that will showcase raw materials, processing, manufacturing, packaging, distribution, resource recycling, and related materials and equipment.
Recently, new technological capabilities are needed to address environmental issues in order to achieve a sustainable society. We believe that our industry’s mission is to continue to develop environmentally friendly products based on “safety and security,” which is the theme of our industry, and that this is the major significance of holding the exhibition, “Chubu Pack.”
The theme of this coming exhibition is “From Imagination to Creation~New Shapes of Packaging.” Imagining the future and acting with consideration will create new technologies. In addition, due to the declining birthrate and aging population, expectations for overseas markets are inevitable, and competition with overseas food and packaging machinery manufacturers is becoming even tougher due to the globalization of food products. I believe that promoting state-of-the-art AI and robotization is also a significant issue. The Chubu region has a thriving manufacturing industry and is an optimal place to present the latest technology, attracting attention from all over the country. The exhibition also plays a role in revitalizing the economy of the Chubu region while responding to the demands of society and the needs of customers at the time.
In 2026 Chubu Pack, we would like to make the most of its regional characteristics as the exhibition which will be held in the Chubu region and make it a unique exhibition that cannot be found in other regions.
As stated in the theme, we sincerely hope that you will take advantage of the “2026 Chubu Pack” as a place to give new shape to your creations and for the development of your company’s business, and we sincerely look forward to seeing more exhibitors, not only in the year of the exhibition, but also for business negotiations leading to the future and for the development of related industries.
