ProPak Asia Bangkok: Processing and Packaging Show Guide
By Ilyas Kerbal,
ProPak Asia, organised by Informa Markets, is the largest processing and packaging exhibition in Asia outside China. The 2025 edition hosted around 2,000 exhibitors and 72,964 visitors, with strong European, Japanese and Chinese machinery pavilions. It serves Southeast Asia’s fast-growing food, beverage, pharma and FMCG manufacturing. For machinery makers and packaging suppliers, the ProPak Asia attendee list is the regional buyer list to have.
This guide is for the June 2027 edition.

Walk into ProPak Asia with a target list
Event apps are built for browsing, not for sales teams. They cap connections, hide data behind logins and rarely let you export anything. I pull attendee, exhibitor and speaker data from the app and the event website, enrich every profile and hand you a clean file before the doors open, so your reps can book meetings in advance and follow up properly afterwards.
