Hispack celebrates its 20th edition from 4 to 7 May 2027 and, to mark the occasion, is paying tribute to the companies that were there at the show’s origins and are still part of it today. That is how The Pioneers of Hispack came about.
The companies that have built Hispack
The Pioneers of Hispack is a recognition programme for the companies that took part in the show’s first edition, in 1983, and have continued to contribute to the evolution of packaging, process and logistics.
Their journey explains how packaging has changed in Spain, from technologies and materials to production processes and market demands. It also explains how Hispack has established itself as the sector’s meeting point.
A journey that culminates in May
Over the coming months, Hispack will revisit these companies’ memories, testimonies and key moments through interviews, content and communication initiatives.
In addition, The Pioneers will have a prominent space during the show, within the story of the 20 editions in the Brand District (formerly Hispack Unboxing), and at their own stands.
Public recognition will come on 5 May 2027 at Hispack Night 20, a gala at the Llotja de Mar in Barcelona that will bring together business, institutional and industry representatives to celebrate the show’s twentieth edition.
A story we continue to write together
The Pioneers is part of the special programme with which Hispack celebrates its 20 editions, alongside the project The Skin of Progress and The Voices of Hispack, part of a commemorative book. A look back to gain perspective on the future of packaging.
Because this story is not only about those who were there at the beginning: it belongs to all the companies and professionals who, edition after edition, help this community grow. We look forward to seeing you at Hispack 2027, from 4 to 7 May, in Barcelona.
