Swiss packaging equipment manufacturer BOBST will participate in WT Middle East 2026 in Dubai, highlighting integrated production technologies and digital workflows for tobacco packaging converters.
BOBST has announced its participation in WT Middle East 2026, scheduled for 10–11 November at Dubai World Trade Centre, where it will present its approach to integrated tobacco packaging production.
The Swiss manufacturer will be represented at Stand 2265 in Hall 2, focusing on solutions that connect prepress, printing, converting and finishing operations. Its presentation will address the integration of production technologies and digital workflow data, from the initial PDF file through to the finished package.
BOBST will participate under the Topacking collaborative platform, which brings together technology and materials suppliers serving the tobacco packaging industry. The group includes Daetwyler SwissTec, Focke & Co, Janoschka, Marbach, Pujadas and Siegwerk.
Through this collaboration, the participating companies aim to address production requirements across the packaging value chain, including process integration, manufacturing efficiency and print quality.
A central focus of BOBST’s participation will be the role of connected production processes in managing packaging complexity. Tobacco packaging converters must accommodate variations in pack design, print specifications and production volumes while meeting applicable packaging and labelling requirements.
The presentation will also address how coordinated workflows and the exchange of production data can support operational consistency across different manufacturing stages.
WT Middle East 2026 will be held alongside World Vape Show and World Cigar Show, bringing together exhibitors involved in tobacco processing, manufacturing equipment, packaging materials and related production technologies.
The two-day exhibition will provide a meeting platform for machinery manufacturers, materials suppliers, converters and other businesses operating across these sectors.
