W&H And GARANT Use Interpack Platform To Expand Industry Connections
Interpack has once again confirmed its role as a key platform for international exchange in the packaging industry, concluding successfully for Windmöller & Hölscher (W&H) and its subsidiary GARANT Maschinenhandel (GARANT).
The international trade fair for packaging, dosing, processing, and logistics took place in Düsseldorf from May 7-13, 2026. The booth was very well attended on almost all days, providing ideal conditions for in-depth discussions with customers and partners from around the world. The focus was clearly on personal interactions and direct dialogue: existing relationships were further strengthened, and new contacts were established.
“interpack was, above all, a place for exchange and personal encounters this year,” summarizes Nicolai Bisgaard, Sales Director Asia Pacific at Windmöller & Hölscher. “Our discussions with customers once again highlighted how important close partnerships are to successfully address the challenges facing the industry together.”
A particular added value for international visitor groups was the proximity to the W&H and GARANT headquarters. Many took the opportunity to gain a comprehensive impression of the companies’ capabilities and offerings on site.
Sustainability played a central role in many conversations. A large proportion of customers showed strong interest in solutions that enable more sustainable packaging production. Efficiency, design for recycling (mono-material solutions),and the use of recycled materials were key topics in making packaging future-proof, especially in the context of European and global legislation.
A common starting point for these discussions was the W&H “supermarket shelf,” which showcased a collection of international MDO-PE packaging solutions. Efficiently and industrially produced by W&H customers worldwide. In addition to these proven mono-material packaging solutions, the display featured a wide range of sample packaging for various applications, including paper-based solutions with and without barriers, mono-material packaging with and without barriers, and packaging solutions incorporating PCR.
Solutions for paper-based packaging, as offered by the W&H subsidiary GARANT Maschinen, also attracted strong interest among visitors. In particular, applications in e-commerce, such as padded paper shipping and return mailers were identified as a growing market. In connection with the trade show, visitors also had the opportunity to take a closer look at automation solutions during the GARANT Open House in Lengerich. The focus here was on integrated processes, from bag making to end-of-line automation and palletizing.
With many new impulses and strengthened partnerships, W&H and GARANT now look ahead to the coming months, continuing to rely on innovation, collaboration, and close customer relationships as key success factors.
