The 2026 edition of Cosmopack is set to welcome best-in-class exhibitors and serious buyers from around the world for three days, March 26 – 28, at the BolognaFiere Exhibition Centre in Northern Italy.
“Even as trade structures shift, the global supply chain is consistently agile and dependable. Cosmopack 2026 will showcase the cosmetics and fragrance industry’s readiness for the future with the latest in product and packaging solutions and with innovations in circularity, traceability, and automation that drive results and create lasting value,” says Enrico Zannini, General Manager at BolognaFiere Cosmoprof.
GLOBAL SUPPLY CHAIN EXCELLENCE
The industry widely recognizes Cosmopack as the cosmetics supply chain’s leading tradeshow, distinguished for being:
- colocated with Cosmoprof Worldwide Bologna
- the place where suppliers from every sector launch new innovations
- a hub for buyers and suppliers from around the world to connect face-to-face
Cosmopack is colocated with Cosmoprof Worldwide Bologna, where brands in both the consumer beauty sector and the professional sector exhibit. And collectively, the tradeshow attracts well over 250,00 visitors and 3,000 exhibitors annually.
This format gives brand leaders unparalleled access to suppliers across ingredients, fragrance, packaging, manufacturing, machinery, and more. It also means that suppliers have a unique opportunity to explore the new ideas and fresh consumer concepts that brand leaders are bringing to market.
Cosmopack is where cosmetics, personal care, and fragrance industry suppliers roll out the year’s most meaningful innovations, breakthrough technologies, and sustainability initiatives, along with new capabilities and services.
It’s where contract manufactures launch new product formats, formulation prototypes, and on-trend collections; where packaging and labeling suppliers debut new materials, deco options, as well as inspired carton and container designs; where fragrance makers present new scent collections and new inputs and sourcing methods; it’s where ingredient companies and distributors show new solutions and original starter formulas; and it’s where machinery manufacturers display the best and newest lines and standalone machines.
At Cosmopack 2026, supply-side companies including Intercos, Lubrizol, Berlin Packaging, Fiabila, Froma, Marchesini Group, Ancorotti Cosmetics, and Woowon will be showing their best and latest offers.
And a fully international industry comes together at Cosmopack. It’s important to know that Cosmopack is a valuable event for global companies as well as for small and medium sized enterprises (SMEs). Cosmopack is well suited to meet the needs of brands, retail players, trend scouts, and industry innovators from niche operators to multinational companies and everyone in between.
And while Made in Italy excellence can absolutely be found at Cosmopack, the tradeshow is not specific to any single market—in fact, Cosmopack is where business connections are made, collaborations start, and deals are transacted that impact nearly every country, region, and community the cosmetics industry touches.
“Cosmopack is proud to host suppliers and buyers from around the world again this year in Bologna,” says Zannini, adding that, “and our team has designed the floor plan and curated programming and features to support networking opportunities, business meetings, and innovation discovery.”
