At Simco-Ion, we are proud to announce our participation in Interpack 2026, the leading global trade fair for the packaging and processing industry. From May 7 to May 13, 2026, we will be present at Messe Düsseldorf, where visitors can find us at Hall 12 – Stand E75.
In modern packaging production, static electricity is not a minor inconvenience. It is a critical factor that directly impacts product quality, production efficiency, and operational safety.
During high-speed processes such as film handling, labeling, thermoforming, and form-fill-seal operations, static charges are continuously generated through friction. If not controlled, these charges can lead to:
For industries such as food and pharmaceutical packaging, even minimal contamination can have consequences regarding quality and cause faulty packages. This makes effective static control essential for maintaining high standards and compliance.
At Simco-Ion, we see static control as a key driver of consistent and reliable packaging performance.
Simco-Ion is the global leader in electrostatic control, providing solutions that eliminate, measure, and utilize static electricity across packaging processes.
Our technologies are widely used in:
By eliminating unwanted static charges, we help prevent contamination and ensure smooth material handling. At the same time, controlled static charging can be used to position and hold materials in place during critical stages of production.
This combination of control and precision allows manufacturers to operate more efficiently while maintaining high product quality.
Static-related issues can lead to costly production inefficiencies and quality defects. With the right static control solutions, manufacturers can:
As packaging processes become faster and more automated, the importance of reliable static control continues to grow.
At Interpack 2026, Simco-Ion will showcase advanced solutions for static elimination, static charging, and surface cleaning.
Visitors to our stand will discover how to:
Our experts will be available to discuss specific challenges and provide practical recommendations tailored to individual applications.
We invite all attendees of Interpack 2026 to visit us at:
Hall 12 – Stand E75
