Hosted by Grupo Embalex, the event brought together 32 participants from 16 countries, representing experienced professionals, family-owned businesses and global industrial packaging specialists focused on the future of international trade and logistics.
Global Expertise in Export Packaging and Industrial Logistics
The Barcelona meeting focused on some of the most important challenges currently shaping the export packaging industry, including:
- digital transformation,
- customs and regulatory changes,
- sustainability,
- global supply chain uncertainty,
- and international business development.
A central theme was the increasing need for companies to become more digitally integrated and operationally flexible, while maintaining the highest standards of cargo protection, compliance, and efficiency.
For INPRO members, collaboration goes beyond networking. The organisation provides a trusted international platform for sharing technical know-how, operational experience, and strategic insights—enhancing export packaging and industrial logistics solutions worldwide.

Their involvement highlights how tradition, long-term thinking and innovation can successfully work together in today’s global export and logistics environment.
As part of the programme, participants were also given a broader overview of the host’s operational ecosystem.
These insights provided additional context into the scale and diversity of operations supporting modern industrial packaging and logistics environments.
