Editor: aprazych@nvpublications.com Robyn Smith - Vice President Sales: rsmith@nvpublications.com Greg Kishbaugh - FMN Editor/Sales: flexo@nvpublications.com The partnership reflects increasing demand for stronger cross-market collaboration as packaging and processing companies navigate evolving supply chains, automation investments, digital transformation initiatives, sustainabil- ity goals, and continued global growth opportunities. Coming To An Agreement As part of the agreement, PMMI will lead the develop- ment and management of the North American Pavilion at interpack 2029, creating a centralized destination for PMMI members from across the United States, Mexico, and Canada. The pavilion is expected to enhance visibility for partic- ipating companies while strengthening business connec- tions between North American manufacturers and interna- tional buyers. PMMI, The Association for Packaging and Processing Technologies, and interpack have signed a strategic partnership agreement designed to expand internation- al business opportunities for North American packaging and processing companies and strengthen global indus- try collaboration. Longstanding Relationship Announced during interpack 2026 in Düsseldorf, Ger- many, the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) reinforc- es a longstanding relationship between the two organi- zations while creating new pathways for North American manufacturers and suppliers to connect with global cus- tomers, partners, and emerging markets. The MoU includes the creation of a dedicated PMMI North American Pavilion at interpack 2029 in Düsseldorf, Germany, organized and managed by PMMI.
