The global pulp, paper, and allied industries are set to converge at ADNEC Centre Abu Dhabi, for a landmark event featuring a strategic trio of co-located exhibitions. From 31 March to 2 April 2026, the flagship Paper & Tissue Show will run concurrently with two new specialised events: Hygiene & Nonwoven Show and Packaging & Recycle Show, attracting a broader spectrum of industry professionals from around the globe. Organised by Al Furat Group, the exhibitions offer an unparalleled platform encompassing the entire value chain, set to redefine industrial excellence across the MENA region.
Expanded Scope and Product Categories
The triple events will significantly broaden the product categories to encompass the full spectrum of the industry – from raw pulp and finished goods to advanced machinery and sustainable packaging solutions.
More than 300 exhibitors will showcase their latest innovations across three distinct exhibition platforms. The Paper & Tissue Show will feature raw paper, pulp, tissue products, corrugated cardboard, specialty papers, paper chemicals, and converting machinery. The Hygiene & Nonwoven Show will cover personal care, medical, and home care nonwovens, as well as associated production technologies. Lastly, the Packaging & Recycle Show will focus on sustainable packaging materials, recycling technologies, packaging machinery, smart packaging solutions, and waste management.
This comprehensive approach ensures that every segment of these vital industries is represented, offering unmatched opportunities for discovery and collaboration to over 16,000 expected visitors.
International Presence Amplified
The upcoming exhibitions are poised to significantly enhance their global appeal and facilitate focused B2B interactions by introducing dedicated country pavilions. Key manufacturing and trading nations, including China, Germany, India, Italy, and Turkey, will be prominently featured.
These pavilions will function as specialised platforms, enabling their respective national industries to showcase their unique strengths, fostering international trade and attracting direct investment. The pavilions will serve as concentrated hubs for innovation and commerce, allowing visitors to efficiently explore the diverse offerings from these key manufacturing powerhouses.
Strategic Partnerships and Global Reach
The organiser’s commitment to fostering global connections is reinforced through key partnerships. The Packaging & Recycle Show has announced its strategic partnership with World Packaging Organisation (WPO). As a globally recognised authority with an extensive network spanning 84 associations in 63 countries, this collaboration is set to significantly enhance the exhibition’s international recognition and bring unparalleled insights and expertise to the packaging industry.
Furthermore, the Paper & Tissue Show team recently undertook a strategic tour across Tunisia, Morocco, and Algeria, thereby strengthening their presence in North Africa. Meetings were held with key institutions like PACKTEC, CEPEX, AMDIE, CCISCS, and others focusing on packaging, industrial cooperation, and promotional support. This tour successfully opened doors for the participation of national pavilions, facilitated hosted buyers programmes, and established new media collaborations ahead of the 2026 event in Abu Dhabi.
Exclusive Opportunities for Engagement
To maximise networking and business generation, the Hosted Buyers Programme will host over 400 meticulously selected top-tier decision-makers, hand-picked from influential companies. These buyers will benefit from pre-scheduled, one-on-one meetings designed to ensure highly productive engagements and tangible business outcomes for exhibitors.
Mixing business with pleasure, an exclusive gala dinner will provide a sophisticated setting for high-level networking, fostering deeper relationships and celebrating industry achievements amidst a vibrant atmosphere.
Delegates will also have the opportunity to experience the cultural richness of Abu Dhabi through an exhilarating safari tour. This unique social event offers a chance for informal networking while enjoying the captivating desert landscapes.
