Metal processing industry and metallurgy database

Every three years, Messe Essen hosts METPACK — the premier global gathering for the international metal packaging industry. Leading companies from around the world showcase sustainable, efficient and forward-thinking solutions for producing, finishing, coating and recycling metal packaging. METPACK serves as both a driving force for innovation and a central hub for industry communication.

Each edition also features the prestigious METPACK Innovation Award. The most recent winner was a manufacturer of a high-performance UV LED curing system for inks, coatings and adhesives used on metal packaging — a technology that eliminates mercury and therefore produces no ozone or unwanted radiation.

As the industry’s undisputed number one event, METPACK clearly demonstrates the current and future capabilities, expertise and innovation power of the metal packaging sector.
