Driving Industry Upgrade in the Greater Bay Area

ProPak Shenzhen takes packaging machinery as its core exhibit category, while accelerating its footprint across three high‑growth vertical sectors:

✓ Prioritizing the Packaging Materials and Containers Segment

Partnering with food and packaging industry associations for exhibitor outreach, the show assembles a full spectrum of packaging materials, finished products, containers, as well as plastic, paper‑board, metal and glass packaging solutions, to fully address buyers’ diverse packaging requirements.

✓ Advancing the Smart Manufacturing Segment

Broadening its advanced manufacturing coverage, the exhibition places strategic focus on robotics & automation, AGV forklifts and embodied intelligent robots, cementing its position at the cutting edge of industry‑wide smart innovation.

✓ Scaling up the Food Processing Segment

Working alongside food‑industry associations and the Central Kitchen Research Institute, ProPak Shenzhen curates signature programs including the Greater Bay Area Agricultural Products and Food Processing Industry Innovation and Development Forum, and the Central Kitchen Complete Processing Technology Achievement Sharing Session.

A 160,000 sq.m mega‑exhibition ecosystem: Reach multi‑sector buyers through one‑show participation

ProPak Shenzhen forms a core component of the 4th Connexion Shenzhen shows. Built around the “two flagship shows + ten interconnected industry sectors” framework, the joint event will host more than 2,000 exhibitors across 160,000 square meters of exhibition space.

Bringing together closely‑linked verticals spanning healthcare, foodservice, hospitality, consumer goods, machinery & electronics and furniture, the co‑located format enables exhibitors to tap into cross‑industry customer bases with a single participation, delivering dual‑value returns in brand visibility and tangible business conversions.

Targeted Matchmaking: Precision‑Driven Connections for Streamlined Business Deals

Pre‑show precision‑matching activities kick off ahead of the event to shortlist well‑aligned suppliers. On‑site, dedicated one‑on‑one in‑depth business meetings are arranged for both domestic and global participants.
