Empack Madrid 2026 — Nov 11-12 IFEMA | Exhibition Stand Builder

Empack Madrid 2026 takes place 11-12 November in Hall 6 at IFEMA Madrid. The previous edition drew 12,200 unique visitors and more than 180 exhibiting brands, which makes Madrid the largest of the Empack editions on the Iberian calendar and the entry point for suppliers targeting Spanish and Portuguese food, beverage and pharmaceutical packaging.

IFEMA is a professional venue with professional rules

IFEMA Madrid runs on accredited contractors, submitted structural drawings and enforced build-up windows. Exhibitors who arrive with a stand designed for a smaller regional venue lose days to approvals. We work IFEMA regularly: technical documentation, contractor accreditation and hall-specific height and rigging limits are handled inside the project timeline, before they become a problem on site.

Selling into Spain from Türkiye

Spain imports heavily in packaging machinery, films, closures and labelling systems, and Turkish manufacturers are already competitive there on quality and lead time. What is usually missing is presence: a Spanish buyer meets you once a year, and the stand is most of that impression. We build Iberian projects with Spanish-language graphics as standard, a seated meeting area (Spanish B2B conversations are longer than Northern European ones) and a product wall organized for technical comparison rather than brand storytelling.

Two days, November, one hall

A short November show means visitors arrive with a plan and leave on schedule. Stand design should make you findable in Hall 6 — clear height signage, a lit back wall, and an open corner rather than a closed box. Small detail with large effect: place your samples where someone walking the aisle can reach them without entering, then give them a reason to come in.

Timing

For a November show, confirm production by late September. Send your plot number and product range; a 3D concept and clear price band, installation at IFEMA included, arrive within 24 hours.
