DUSSELDORF, GERMANY — In a constituent meeting of interpack’s advisory board, Mark Rustler, president and CEO of Theegarten-Pactec GmbH & Co. KG, was re-elected president and chair of the processing and packaging trade fair.
“I would like to thank you for the trust you have placed in me and look forward to continuing this task,” Rustler said following his re-election. “Our common goal is to build on the success of interpack 2023 and to further strengthen the 2026 trade fair as a trend, technology and solution platform in order to proactively meet the opportunities presented by dynamic market changes.”
