Cosmopack 2021


Location

The event will take place at the BolognaFiere Exhibition Centre.


Purpose

The 2021 edition focused on resilience and digital transformation. Its specific goals included:

  1. Maintaining Continuity: The primary purpose was to prevent a "dark year" for the supply chain. By using digital matchmaking, the event ensured that brands could still find packaging and formulation suppliers despite being unable to travel to Italy.
  2. OnBeauty (The September Hybrid): The physical event in Bologna was designed as a "re-start" to test safety protocols and allow European suppliers (packaging, contract manufacturing, and machinery) to meet with domestic and regional buyers.
  3. Focus on Hygiene & Safety: Reflecting the global situation, Cosmopack 2021 highlighted innovations in "touchless" packaging, antimicrobial materials, and machinery for the mass production of sanitizing products.
  4. Sustainability Amidst Crisis: Even during the pandemic, the event pushed "Green Valley" initiatives, focusing on how the supply chain could remain eco-friendly while meeting the increased demand for single-use or high-protection packaging.
