SHOWCASE

Welcome Letter packexpoeast.com

Welcome to PACK EXPO East 2026

n behalf of PMMI Media Group and Packaging World magazine, President David Newcorn and I would like to welcome you to PACK EXPO East 2026. Whether you’re a seasoned PACK EXPO East veteran or it’s your first time walking this show floor, we’re genuinely excited for you to join us. February can be a tricky month in packaging; it might feel like you’re still shaking off the holidays, while there’s a whole year ahead of projects to complete and progress to be made. That’s exactly why this show matters. PACK EXPO East gives you a chance to get ahead of the curve, find real solutions early in the year, and start implementation while others are still planning. And the best part is, you don’t have to fly across the country to make it happen. This show puts the most cutting-edge innovations right in your backyard. This year, we’ll have around 500 exhibitors and 8,000 professionals all under one roof at the Pennsylvania Convention Center. Its proximity to several East Coast manufacturing hubs means it’s a drive or train ride away, so you can bring your whole team without blowing the travel budget. Team-wide collaboration to find solutions on the show floor really is worth its weight in gold. Think of this issue of PACK EXPO East Showcase as your insider’s guide, packed with everything you need to hit the ground running. You’ll find pavilion highlights, educational session information, networking events, and practical tools to plan your days. Spend some time with these pages before you head out on the show floor, bookmark what matters most to you, and you’ll thank yourself while you’re out there. There are a few new and notable features to see at this year’s show. Those who have attended a PACK EXPO International might be familiar with this first one: making its PACK EXPO East debut is the Containers and Materials Pavilion. It’s the perfect destination to refresh your packaging or boost sustainability, featuring the newest innovations in paperboard, glass, metal, flexible, and resealable solutions. If you’re running a smaller operation, pay special attention to the new SMB FastTrack program. This program makes it quick and easy to find suppliers offering special financing, discounts, and services tailored specifically to small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs). Look for the “SMB Friendly” tag in the exhibitor directory to point you toward the suppliers catering to your needs. Also new this year is the Incubator Hub, presented by PMMI in partnership with Ben Franklin Technology Partners, located at Booth 1432. There, you’ll find Pennsylvania-based innovations in this state-funded initiative aimed at driving economic growth and entrepreneurial success. To make your machinery search even easier, look for the new gear icon in the show directory; it highlights which exhibitors are bringing machinery to the show floor. While you’re at the show, make sure to carve out some time for educational sessions. Both the Innovation Stage and Industry Speaks will offer free sessions throughout the show, covering everything from automation and AI to sustainability and workforce challenges. They’re the perfect opportunity to hear from the industry’s experts and thought leaders on the latest topics, trends, and issues impacting operations. One more thing: download the PACK EXPO East Mobile App, sponsored by ProMach, Inc. Seriously. The new turn-by-turn navigation will pay dividends in avoided frustration, plus you can build your personal agenda, look up exhibitors, and get real-time updates. Use My Show Planner on the app or at packexpoeast.com (they sync!) as a resource planning tool, directory, and even an exhibitor appointment scheduler, so those conversations aren’t left up to chance. I won’t go on about every last detail here, as that’s what the next several pages are for. But I will say this: Dave and I have been doing this a long time, and we know how valuable face-to-face time is in this industry. You’ll find plenty of it this February in Philadelphia. So set your agendas in order, lace up your most comfortable shoes, and get ready to make some real progress on your 2026 goals. We look forward to seeing you out there.

What if you could connect to your next supplier by searching online through a curated, vetted list of the leading suppliers of packaging and processing machinery, materials, and services? Now you can. PMMI ProSource is the online directory of PMMI members, representing the top suppliers in our industry who are experts in packaging and processing.

Why PMMI ProSource? PMMI ProSource quickly connects you to your next supplier. How? • Focused on our industry. Browse hundreds of categories of validated suppliers in key areas of machinery, materials, and services, such as vertical form/fill/seal equipment, liquid fillers, and conveyors. • Authoritative. All companies listed are members of PMMI, the leading global association of packaging and processing that produces the PACK EXPO shows and this magazine. PMMI staff validate category listings. • Less scrolling, more finding. Rather than spending hours scrolling through search engine results online, go to PMMI prosource.org for a curated experience that connects you faster to the packaging and processing specialists who have the specific solutions you need.

Filter your results

Use PMMI ProSource’s filters to sort through packaging solutions as you search, similar to the consumer sites you love. • Use the panels on the left to narrow down your results.

www.nyledehydrators.com Nyle Dehydrators, based in Brewer, Maine, is a global leader in high-efficiency dehydration technology, specializing in heat-pump systems that drive “industrial electrification.” By utilizing proprietary closed-loop heat-pump technology, Nyle systems recycle heat energy rather than venting it, allowing manufacturers to reduce energy consumption by 40% to 60% compared to traditional dryers. This process ensures total climate independence for consistent results year-round and utilizes lower drying temperatures (80°F–160°F) to preserve the superior color, flavor, and nutritional profile of the product. The company offers a versatile range of “Made in the USA” equipment designed to scale with any business, including FD-Series batch dehydrators for premium quality, MD-Series modular units for growing capacity, and CD-Series continuous conveyors for high-volume automation. To ensure peak performance, Nyle provides a dedicated Drying Lab where engineers conduct a Drying Curve Analysis on customer samples. This data-driven approach removes guesswork by pre-determining the exact airflow and temperature settings required for a specific product before the equipment ever reaches the facility.

www.rechner.com RECHNER SENSORS Rechner Sensors is the world leader in industrial capacitive sensor design. Our numerous patented technologies allow our sensors to detect lower dielectric materials, sense further, and ignore a larger buildup of solids and viscous materials than the competition. We strive to be the most reliable sensor that you can depend on for production uptime. HIGH TEMPERATURE SENSORS Rechner has four product lines of high temperature proximity and level sensors. These include IASseries inductive sensors, KS-series capacitive sensors, the extreme-range KXS-series capacitive sensors, and KF-series level probes. All four series operate in temperatures up to 482°F (250°C). KXS SENSORS KXS-series systems are exceptional in their extreme sensing distance. Our M30 KXS sensors have a maximum sensing range of 100mm with a hysteresis of only 1-2 mm! This is useful for extremely accurate level control in sticky and viscous liquids (such as hot melt glue), or dusty and high static environments (such as plastic regrind). KXA-amplifiers can support up to 4 sensors or up to 4 independently adjustable outputs on a single sensor for flexible, multi-point level control installations. HIGH TEMPERATURE LEVEL PROBES KF-series custom-made level probes fit your tank perfectly. We have no minimum order and quick turnaround times. Probe sizes can range from 0.5 inches to 78 inches. You can choose between discrete measurements (1-4 points) or analog level measurement (4-20 mA or 0-10V). Our sensors are used for level control, position detection, and quality control applications. We carry a wide selection of miniature sensors, sensors for explosive atmospheres, and analog measurement. Contact us for help finding the correct sensor for your application.
