PACK EXPO Showcase 2025 by PMMIMediaGroup

Welcome to PACK EXPO Las Vegas 2025

This year’s show is truly something special. Not just because of the technology, the scale, or the packed agenda, but because we’re celebrating 30 years of PACK EXPO Las Vegas.

Since its start in 1995, this show has grown from a regional gathering into the most comprehensive packaging and processing event of the year. And if you think you’ve seen this play before, think again; this year’s show is the most expansive to date. Surpassing 1 million net sq ft of exhibit space for the rst time, housing 2,300 exhibitor across over 40 vertical markets, there’s no shortage of ground to cover or conversations to start.

This issue of the PACK EXPO Las Vegas Showcase is here to help you make the most of it. Inside, you’ll nd a detailed Show Preview (p.8) to point you toward key pavilions and exhibitors, educational offerings, student activities, and networking events. If you’re short on time, ip to our two-page Quick Facts section (p.4) for a streamlined guide of the most essential show features. We’ve also included a QR directory to make your educational experience at the show even easier; just ip to p.22 and scan to see up-to-date session lists for each educational stage.

In a massive and famously nonuniform industry like packaging, it’s a relief that PACK EXPO includes focused destinations, bringing order to complexity. Need sustainable packaging solutions? Head to the Containers and Materials Pavilion, or the Reusable Packaging Pavilion, sponsored by the Reusable Packaging Association. Wrestling with supply chain challenges? The Logistics Pavilion is an essential visit. The Healthcare Packaging Pavilion offers state-of-the-art solutions covering pharma, biologics, nutraceuticals, and medical devices. Food and beverage producers will feel right at home in The Processing Zone or The Confectionery Pavilion, sponsored by the National Confectioners Association. And you can even stop by the Education and Workforce Development Pavilion for insights on strengthening your personnel and building the next generation of packaging pros.

While you’re out there, don’t forget to visit one of the seven educational stages scattered across the show oor. More than 100 informative sessions will touch on the industry’s hottest topics and trends, including sustainable packaging solutions, Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR), circularity, automation, AI, food safety, reusable packaging, and more. These sessions are your chance to learn directly from industry experts, thought leaders, and innovators in your eld. You might even discover fresh perspectives to spark innovation within your own company.

With such a vast expanse to explore, it helps to have an industry insider guide you toward what matters most. That’s why PMMI Media Group is producing an all-new feature for this show, a set of expert-led, curated show oor tours. The PACK EXPO Discovery Tours, sponsored by Lantech on Monday and Formic on Tuesday, are speci cally designed for senior decision-makers and rst-time buyers of packaging and processing automation.

You’ll also want to check out this year’s Technology Excellence Award nalists, where you can vote for your favorite technology among a host of standout innovations never-before displayed at a PACK EXPO show. It’s a great way to discover the companies truly pushing boundaries at the show, and a good reason to visit their booths to see the technologies up close.

Of course, this 30th anniversary celebration is about more than what’s new. It’s also a moment to re ect on the staying power of this industry and the people who drive it forward. As you walk the show oor, keep an eye out for the 30-Year Legacy Exhibitor logos; these mark the companies who were part of the inaugural 1995 show and continue to exhibit today.

VDG is the leader in the design and manufacturing of drum motors for belt conveyors, with a strong focus on safety, reliability, and longevity. VDG adheres to a simple principle: provide reliable belt drive solutions to the material handling and food processing industries through innovation, continuous research and development, and precision manufacturing. Manufacturing in-house in the USA and Canada since 1985, using cutting-edge production technology and automation, VDG ensures product quality, short lead times, and after-sales service.

The VDG Drum Motor is a one-component conveyor drive that has all drive components, including the new premium-efficiency electric motor, gear reducer, and bearings, enclosed inside the drive drum, increasing mechanical and electrical efficiency, optimizing space, and promoting operator safety. Designed for 80,000 hours of continuous operation before maintenance, VDG Drum Motors reduce maintenance and operational costs and increase productivity. VDG Drum Motors are available in a range of diameter sizes, belt speeds, horsepower, and industry-specific options and features to suit various belt conveyor applications.

VDG’s patented IronGrip™ lagging increases the durability and lifespan of the lagging and the conveyor belt. The IronGrip™ lagging system consists of symmetrically welded steel bars on the outside of the drum with vulcanized rubber lagging inserts between the steel bars. IronGrip™ lagging eliminates uneven belt wear, improves belt tracking, increases belt traction by 40%, and has 5 times longer service life compared to standard lagging.

All-stainless steel SSV Series Drum Motors, designed specifically for food processing and handling belt conveyor applications, drive modular, wire mesh, and monolithic conveyor belts without using sprockets. The belt profile is either machined directly on the drive drum or on an exchangeable profiled sleeve (XP). The profiled sleeve on the SSV-XP Drum Motor can be easily removed and exchanged for another sleeve to match the belt required on the conveyor. Therefore, the same drum motor can be used when switching to another belt for a different type of processing.

All SSV Series Drum Motors feature an IP69K-rated sealing system, withstand up to 3,000 psi washdown pressure, and eliminate crevices that trap food by-products and bacterial harborage, reducing washdown time and water usage by 50%. Belt profiles are available for all major belt manufacturers.

The IntelliDrive™ Drum Motor features new synchronous permanent magnet motor technology, delivering 40% increased electrical efficiency, a wider range of belt speeds without loss of torque, and an increase in electric motor lifespan compared to a traditional external conveyor drive. It enables onsite diagnostics, full motor indexing speed control, and communications with other automated plant equipment.
