ACTEGA looks back on a highly successful participation at METPACK 2026 in Essen, Germany, the world’s leading trade fair for the metal packaging industry. The event once again served as a key platform for innovation, exchange, and global collaboration. At this year’s exhibition, ACTEGA presented its latest portfolio of high performance coatings, printing inks, water-based sealants and compounds designed to improve efficiency, product performance and sustainability across a wide range of applications.
Throughout the four-day event, ACTEGA welcomed customers, partners, and industry professionals from around the world to the booth. Visitors showed strong interest in innovations, such as next-generation coatings like ACTNext® and ACTEcoat®, water-based sealants, PVC- and plasticizer-free PROVALIN® compounds, and INNOCAN® digital printing technology with offset quality.
A major highlight at the booth was the exchange around ACTEGA’s ongoing commitment to enabling more sustainable metal packaging production. Meaningful conversations focused on current industry challenges, increasing sustainability expectations, and the importance of balancing innovation with operational efficiency.
In addition to showcasing cutting-edge technologies, METPACK 2026 provided an excellent opportunity to strengthen existing partnerships and establish new connections across the global metal packaging community. The positive feedback received throughout the exhibition reaffirmed ACTEGA’s role as a trusted innovation partner within the industry.
