With less than 3 weeks to go until the UK Corrugated Industry Trade Show 2026 (UKCITS26), taking place at Telford International Centre on 6–7 October, momentum continues to build for the industry event.
Exhibition floorspace is completely full, while visitor registrations have already exceeded the total achieved for the 2024 Trade Show. More than 115 sheet plants will be represented to date, many bringing multiple delegates from across their businesses.
There will also be a strong focus on the future workforce, with around 150 students expected to attend over the two days. Their visit will provide an opportunity to experience modern manufacturing first-hand, discover the breadth of careers available across the sector and, importantly, meet and engage with the businesses that could become their future employers.
Alongside the exhibition, the UKCITS26 Conference Programme has been published on the show’s dedicated website, with speakers and contributors including FEFCO, EUWID, NOA Ltd, Bruntons, Zeus Packaging, the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) and Young People in Print & Packaging (YPiPP). Sessions will look firmly towards the Future of Corrugated, covering Market Outlook & Industry Trends; Innovation in Machinery & Converting Technology; and AI, Automation & Cybersecurity.
The Conference Area is sponsored by BOBST, the Recharge Zone by Advantive, and Robotics by M&K Trading.
What sets UKCITS26 apart is its focus - a Trade Show dedicated to the corrugated and fibre-based converting industry, where visitors can see specialist machinery operating live, talk directly to suppliers who understand their production challenges and network with peer representatives from more than 115 sheet plant businesses.
