Pack & Play Day 2026

Safe designing, even for the highest hygiene requirements?

Strict regulations apply to the packaging or processing of food. Which products and materials fulfil the requirements of FDA, EU 10/2011 and EU 2024/3190 (bisphenol)? What do I need to bear in mind during designing? And what about PFAS/PTFE and hygienic design?

Short development times have long been common practice. In this workshop you will learn how to realise functional components quickly and economically - directly from CAD and without tool costs. From filament and resin to SLS powder, also for special technical requirements in the food industry.

*World's first*: Let us show you the first resin with EU conformity for the food industry.

In this presentation, we will not only show you the industrial production of cables for individual customer requirements with no minimum order quantity. We will discuss the right cable qualities for individual applications, calculate the service life of specific cables and show you how to save up to 95% harnessing time with harnessed energy chains.

From pickers and cobots to mobile robotics for the food and packaging industry - everything is "plug and play".

How can processes be automated quickly and how do software and tools help simplify integration? We will show you solutions, potential savings and how we can customise Low Cost Automation for your application.

The playground for automation enthusiasts: Experience the customer testing area and be inspired by the dynamics and possibilities of Low Cost Automation.

Production, test laboratory and research on 90,000m². On this tour you will get to know the flexible igus® Factory, where everything from plain bearings to the igus:bike is produced. You will also be able to take a look at the largest testing area in the industry with 5,500m2.
