EMPACK & LOGISTICS & AUTOMATION BILBAO, THE ONLY MEETING POINT FOR THE PACKAGING AND LOGISTICS SECTORS IN THE NORTH OF SPAIN, IS BORN

Empack and Logistics & Automation Bilbao will open the doors of the BEC on 26 and 27 April 2022, making it the only meeting point for packaging and logistics professionals in northern Spain.

Xabier Basañez, General Manager of the Bilbao Exhibition Centre, emphasised that “as a venue we are delighted to add two events to our calendar for the coming year and that they will be held on a continuous basis. I believe that Empack and Logistics & Automation Bilbao complement our range of specialised trade fairs and will be a very interesting meeting point for industry in the Basque Country. Packaging and logistics play a very important role in the field of sustainability. From BEC we will give all our support to the Easyfairs group, with which we have an excellent collaboration in other projects, to promote the success of this event”.

The launch of the new trade fair is in line with the strategy of the Easyfairs Group, a Belgian multinational that holds 200 events in 14 countries, to take trade fairs to those geographical areas where the professional visitor is located. “We are sure that Empack and Logistics & Automation Bilbao will provide the opportunity that the market in Northern Spain has been waiting for, to easily and directly meet the purchasing decision-makers of thousands of companies in the area in just two days and with our successful all-inclusive formula,” said Oscar Barranco, Divisional Director of Easyfairs Iberia.

Empack and Logistics & Automation Bilbao will not only bring together the latest packaging, intralogistics, automation and robotics solutions, but is also the venue chosen by the Easyfairs Group for the premiere launch of Transport & Delivery. This new space will accommodate a critical and booming sector such as logistics operators, road, rail and sea transport, couriers & last mile and transport software. As well as having an exhibition area, it will host training and networking spaces for 1to1 activities between the main stakeholders.

Easyfairs’ extensive experience in Spain, with the development of packaging and logistics fairs in Madrid (fourteen editions of Empack and ten of Logistics), as well as in Oporto (with five editions held), is joined in this launch by the strong support of the main associations and partners in the sector, such as UNO, CEL, ICIL, Transprime, ACE Cargadores, ACTE, IVL (Instituto Vasco de Logística), Cluster Logístico de Euskadi, Packnet, Aifec and Aspack, among others, who will actively participate in the programming of conferences and activities to enhance their quality and interest.

Thus, for 2 days – Easyfairs’ characteristic formula – BEC will host the only meeting point for the packaging, packaging, intralogistics, logistics and transport sectors in the northern area, in a complete format, with an exhibition area, conference spaces, demonstration areas and networking activities, a 100% professional visitor and with marketing tools and segmented campaigns that allow a faster and more measurable return on investment for participating companies.
