Global packaging leader BOBST has announced its upcoming participation in WT Middle East, the leading B2B global trade event and networking hub for the tobacco manufacturing, processing, and packaging sectors.
The exhibition, scheduled for 10–11 November 2026 at Dubai World Trade Centre, will see the Swiss manufacturer occupy Stand 2265 in Hall 2, giving regional converters direct access to high-performance production experts. The showcase focuses heavily on complete, end-to-end solutions for tobacco packaging, combining advanced technologies across every production stage, from initial PDF file to final packaging.
To expand its technological reach, BOBST is exhibiting under the collaborative umbrella of Topacking, an independent organisation of partners dedicated to providing market and technology insights, as well as sharing best practices across the packaging value chain within the tobacco industry. BOBST acts as a principal partner alongside other companies including Daetwyler SwissTec, Focke & Co, Janoschka, Marbach, Pujadas, and Siegwerk.
By linking advanced machinery with shared digital workflow data, BOBST aims to help regional manufacturers balance high-volume efficiency with the rapid design changes required by strict tobacco packaging laws.
This year, WT Middle East will take place alongside World Vape Show and World Cigar Show, creating an unrivalled gathering for the global tobacco and nicotine industry. The two-day event will bring the full industry spectrum under one roof for the first time(from tobacco processing and next-generation products to premium cigars), offering exhibitors and buyers unlimited access, crossover opportunities, and insight into the future of the market.
