PMMI – The Association for Packaging and Processing Technologies is a leading North American trade association that serves as a global resource for the packaging and processing industry, connecting stakeholders across the manufacturing supply chain. Founded to advance the business interests and technical capabilities of machinery, materials, and component suppliers, PMMI today represents hundreds of companies that design, build, and integrate packaging and processing solutions for consumer and industrial markets.

Beyond traditional association services, PMMI has become a major trade show organizer, best known for its PACK EXPO portfolio, which brings together equipment manufacturers, brand owners, and supply chain partners to explore new technologies, automation, sustainability solutions, and production efficiency improvements. PMMI’s value proposition combines in‑person market access with industry intelligence and workforce development.

Its Business Intelligence unit produces detailed market and technology reports that help members and exhibitors identify growth opportunities and investment trends in packaging and processing. Through PMMI U and related training programs, the association also develops technical skills via courses such as the Fundamentals of Packaging Machinery, supporting the talent pipeline for OEMs and end users.

PMMI Media Group extends this ecosystem year‑round by providing news, analysis, and product coverage across multiple media brands, further amplifying exhibitor visibility and buyer engagement. Headquartered in Herndon, Virginia, with additional offices in Chicago and Mexico City, PMMI reaches a broad audience across North America and increasingly worldwide, positioning its events as critical platforms for companies involved in packaging, processing, and related logistics.

For exhibitors and visitors, participating in PMMI‑organized shows offers direct access to qualified buyers, technology leaders, and comprehensive educational programs focused on real‑world production challenges.
