ECHO Machinery 2026 Exhibition Plan: Meet Our Packaging Engineers in 8 Countries

If 2025 proved anything, it is that a packaging machine is easier to sell in a hall than in an inbox. Buyers want to hear the servo, watch the gripper close, and inspect the seal with their own hands. That is why Wenzhou ECHO Intelligent Packaging Technology Co., Ltd. (ECHO Machinery) is again taking its equipment on the road in 2026 — this time to eight countries across four continents.

Below is our confirmed and planned exhibition calendar for the year, along with what we intend to bring to each market and why.

The 2026 calendar at a glance

South America: entering the room properly

Our year begins in Brazil. ANUFOOD Brazil, organised by Koelnmesse, runs 7–9 April at District Anhembi in São Paulo and covers food, ingredients, and machinery. Brazil is one of the largest food processing economies in the Western Hemisphere, and its coffee, açaí, nut, and pet food segments are precisely where rotary premade-pouch technology delivers the clearest return.

We return to São Paulo from 26 to 29 May for Brazil's international foodservice exhibition. Two shows in one country within two months is a deliberate choice: we would rather build one market properly than appear once and disappear.

Asia-Pacific: two anchor events

The ECHO "Integrated Packaging Line" display wall in Bangkok

FHA – Food & Beverage in Singapore, 21–24 April, is organised by Informa Markets and remains the region's most internationally attended food and hospitality event. Singapore functions as a decision-making hub — regional purchasing managers for multinational food groups are frequently in the hall even when their plants are elsewhere.

Then comes the highlight of our Asian calendar: THAIFEX – Anuga Asia, 26–30 May, at the IMPACT Exhibition Centre in Bangkok. Organised by Koelnmesse, THAIFEX covers the entire spectrum from confectionery and frozen food to seafood, meat, beverages, and food technology. Having exhibited at ProPak Asia in Bangkok in 2025, we know this audience well: highly technical, price-aware, and unforgiving of vague answers.

In August we head to VIETFOOD & BEVERAGE in Ho Chi Minh City, 6–8 August, now in its 30th edition and organised by VINEXAD. Vietnam has moved decisively up the value chain — from raw commodity export toward branded, packaged consumer goods — and that transition is exactly what drives demand for automated pouch packaging.

North America: a focused bet on pet food

Application categories: snacks & nuts, powders, pet food, frozen food, liquids

From 12 to 14 August we will exhibit at the pet industry trade show in Las Vegas, covering pet food, pet supplies, pet healthcare, and aquatic products. Pet food is one of the most demanding pouch applications in the industry: heavy fill weights, abrasive kibble, resealable zippers, and premium graphics that must not be scuffed during handling. Our rotary premade-pouch and vacuum systems are already running on pet food lines in several markets, and Las Vegas is where that category concentrates.

Africa and the Middle East: two visits to Cairo

Egypt appears twice in our 2026 plan, which is not an accident. AfricaFood Manufacturing runs 2–4 June in Cairo, focusing on food additives, ingredients, packaging, and equipment. We return in December, from 9 to 12, for the Messe Düsseldorf-organised food and food processing exhibition in the same city.

Egypt is the natural gateway to North and East Africa, and the local processing sector is investing heavily in import substitution — building domestic capacity for products previously brought in finished. That is machinery demand in its purest form.

Closing the year in Istanbul

Our 2026 calendar ends where Europe and Asia meet. Worldfood Istanbul, organised by ICA Events, runs 15–18 December in Istanbul, Türkiye, spanning food, confectionery and nuts, frozen food, seafood, fruit and vegetables, meat, beverages, food processing, packaging equipment, and food technology. Türkiye is both a major food producer in its own right and a re-export hub serving the Balkans, the Caucasus, and Central Asia.

What we will bring

A vertical packaging machine running on the show floor

At every stand in 2026, our priorities are the same three things buyers told us mattered most in 2025:

Running machines, not posters. Wherever hall logistics allow, we exhibit live equipment. Bring a sample of your product — powder, granule, liquid, frozen, or pet food — and we will discuss exactly how it would run.

Format flexibility. Our rotary platform handles stand-up pouches, zipper bags, gusseted bags, quad-seal bags, spouted pouches, and tray-style packs. Changeover time, not top speed, is the specification we want to talk about.

Line thinking, not machine thinking. Feeding system, weighing, packaging, conveying, case erecting and sealing — we quote and commission integrated lines, because a bottleneck upstream makes a fast bagger irrelevant.

Book a meeting before you travel

Show floors are busy, and the best technical conversations are the scheduled ones. If you plan to attend any of the events above, contact us in advance with your product type, target bag format, and required output, and we will have the right engineer and the right sample data waiting when you arrive.

We look forward to meeting you in São Paulo, Singapore, Guadalajara, Bangkok, Cairo, Ho Chi Minh City, Las Vegas, or Istanbul.
