Empack e Logistics & Automation Porto kicks off this week and promises to revolutionise the market.

The only trade fair for the packaging, logistics and transport sector in Portugal starts on 19 April, to present the news of the more than 70 exhibitors present, through the Innovation Tours, and a conference programme on the challenges and future of the industry.

The show will be held at Exponor, in Matosinhos, on 19 and 20 April with the debut of the Transport & Delivery brand, which merges the transport sector with Empack and Logistics & Automation, being the biggest novelty this year. Among exhibitors and conferences, it will be possible to attend lectures such as “Efficient, safe and sustainable logistics: Bosch Secure Truck Parking”, from the BOSCH brand, “Integrated logistics at CTT – The challenges of the last mile” from CTT Express, or even “The challenges of Abreu Logistics in the new economic-social context” from Abreu Logistics.

In addition, this room will also host a presentation on “Logistics-Intermodal Platforms as economic drivers between Spain and Portugal”, by Pablo Hoya, Manager ZALDESA and Former President of Europlatforms, Iago Domínguez, Manager of Función Loxística de Galicia, Leonel Cação, General Director Jomatir and Juan Manuel Cabo, Head of Logistics and Technical Analysis.

In the Empack and Logistics room, the conferences will bring topics on sustainability such as “Good sustainability practices and circularity in waste management” with the presence of the companies Jerónimo Martins, Nespresso, Vila do Conde Porto Fashion Outlet and Veolia. Also in this room it will be possible to attend the conference on “The success story: Jysk Distribution Centre”, among many others.

To satisfy the most avid visitors of innovation and technology, it will be possible to participate in the Innovation Tours, created to show the most innovative products in the sector. In this compilation of selected products we will be able to find Muscle Suit Every, a product designed for those in distribution, which helps in the movement of loading objects from the floor to chest level. We can also see ECOBOT PHANTAS, a cleaning robot with four sanitising modes: vacuuming, washing, sweeping and mopping, among other products that will impact the market in the coming years.

Óscar Barranco, Event Director, states that: “It is with a great sense of responsibility and immense pride that we will open the doors to more than 70 exhibitors and around 3,000 visitors expected for this 7th edition. We are confident that it will be another successful fair and that we will surpass last year’s results”.

It will be two days of intense networking, where brands and visitors will be able to attend various conferences and contact the most innovative products in the areas of logistics, packaging, transport and distribution.
