The comprehensive supply-side show is thoughtfully laid out across 5 Halls (and then some) at the Exhibition Centre, allowing attendees to map out a results-driven experience while still creating space for serendipitous discovery, impromptu networking, and actionable takeaways. Every vertical along in the supply chain is here, from ingredients to fragrance, from manufacturing to machinery, from packaging to labelling, and so much more. And it is here that the future of the cosmetics and fragrance industry comes into focus.
INGREDIENTS, RAW MATERIALS, AND ALL THINGS FRAGRANCE
The Fragrances & Ingredients Zone is where cosmetic and personal care ingredient makers, raw material suppliers as well as distributors are showing both new and classic ingredients. And it’s where R&D pros, product developers, and brand leaders find the inspiration and partners they need to fill their product launch calendar for the year(s) ahead.
The Fragrances & Ingredients Zone is an accessible hub for ingredient discovery, where legacy suppliers and pioneering startups showcase familiar ingredients and innovative solutions, including solutions for sustainable beauty. For example, Austria-based Kern Tec will be exhibiting at Cosmopack in 2026. This company specialises in stone-fruit seed oils sourced from apricots, cherries, and plums. The skincare-ready oils are cold-pressed and rich in both antioxidants and lipids. While the fruit itself is harvested and processed into jam or juice (for the food and beverage market). Kern Tec also upcycles the outer pit-shell of these same fruits for use in skincare and body care formulations as a physical exfoliant.
The Fragrances & Ingredients Zone at Cosmopack is also where fragrance houses, fragrance ingredient suppliers, and fragrance manufacturers turn out in force. In 2026, exhibitors including Scentmate by dsm-firmenich and eps Fragrances, based in Spain and Turkey respectively, will be there showing the latest scent concepts.
These suppliers and many, many more—across active and functional ingredients, raw materials, and all things fragrance, as well as supplement specialists, and formulation consultancies—are located in Hall 20.
PRODUCTION MACHINERY, AUTOMATION, AND ROBOTIC TECHNOLOGIES
On the ground floor (one level down from the Fragrances & Ingredients Zone), Hall 19 is home to state-of-the-art equipment for ingredient processing, product manufacturing, filling, packaging, and more. Cosmopack is the only trade fair where beauty makers can discover and experience machinery, automation, and robotic technologies specific to their needs.
This is where the world’s top production machinery companies demonstrate stand-alone and full line capabilities including, but not limited to, processing, mixing and blending, filling, quality control, labelling, cartoning, and pallet loading. Technical experts, engineers, and support specialists are on-site at Cosmopack, providing information and answering questions about how the various equipment solutions allow for scale up, interoperability, and system upgrades, as well as details on service and maintenance support.
Machinery specialists exhibiting at Cosmopack in 2026, will include Marchesini Group (Italy) showing state-of-the-art machines and lines for packaging cosmetic products; Roboqbo (Italy) specialising in a single-machine system for mixing, emulsifying, cooling, concentrating, homogenising, and more; Wish-Tech (Taiwan) experts in the automation and AI automation sector will show next-gen manufacturing in action; and mixing equipment specialist WooWonMix (Korea) will show solutions for homogenization, powder or surfactant dispersion, emulsifying, and more.
Citus Kalix will be there; the France-based company, part of Coesia Group since 2005, designs and sells filling and packaging machines. In fact they’ve sold more than 10,000 machines in over 120 countries, and are well-established as a trusted partner for both major international cosmetic brands and local subcontractors. Contec Group (Italy), experts is automated equipment for product dosing, capping, sealing, and labeling, will be at Cosmopack 2026; as will Deremaux (France), showing manual filling machines and lines for single-dose products in glass and plastic fine-tipped ampoules, suitable for travel; and Fazendas Stainless Steel Engineering (Portugal), a company that designs, manufactures, and assembles stainless steel equipment like the Vacuum Reactor built with rotor-stator homogeniser tech suitable for semi-solid cosmetic formulations, e.g. creams, gels, lotions, and more.
WooJung Tech will showcase the latest versions its color cosmetics manufacturing equipment for dry powder, wet powder, mascara, nail color, hot-fill products, and more. This Korea-based machinery company supplies beauty makers in some 40 countries. And IMA Group (Italy), a company with more than 10 production plants across Europe, India, Asia, and the Americas—and a much larger global reach—that prides itself on R&D, designing, and manufacturing automatic machines for both processing and packaging cosmetics will of course be at Cosmopack 2026 too.
Cosmopack is a unique opportunity to experience equipment options side by side, to close the gap between production planning and implementation, and to be ready for future growth by improving productivity.
MANUFACTURING SOLUTIONS, FORMULATION INNOVATION, AND EVERY ASPECT OF PACKAGING
Cosmopack is a destination event for industry insiders and emerging players ready to meet with manufacturing partners that can turn ideas into products. This is where the leading manufacturers in cosmetics and personal care launch their newest product formulations, textures, formats, and on-trend collections.
Contract and independent manufacturers exhibiting at the trade fair offer turnkey, full service, and OEM / ODM solutions, private label and white label products, custom manufacturing, semi-finished and bulk products, and more.
