Pneumofore at METPACK 2026: Setting the Benchmark in Energy-Efficient Canmaking

METPACK 2026 confirmed Pneumofore as a key reference in energy-efficient vacuum and compressed air solutions for the global canmaking industry. The event, the world’s leading exhibition for the metal packaging industry, held every three years in Essen (Germany), attracted strong interest at the Pneumofore stand, with canmakers, technical specialists and industry professionals seeking reliable and efficient pneumatic solutions for high-speed can production.
A key highlight of Pneumofore’s participation was the technical conference presentation delivered by Pneumofore CEO Mr. Rolf Hilfiker, titled “Performance & Reliability: From People to Machines”. Drawing a parallel between human relationships and industrial equipment, the presentation emphasized that trust must precede performance in any selection process. In industrial applications, this translates into prioritizing reliability over peak efficiency. Reliability, durability, and long-term efficiency are the true indicators of value, together with the trustworthiness of the manufacturer.
The strong interest on Pneumofore solutions confirmed the growing attention of the canmaking industry towards reducing energy consumption, CO₂ emissions and long-term operating costs associated with pneumatic systems, which account for more than 50% of electricity demand in modern 2-piece can lines.
METPACK also represented an important opportunity to strengthen relationships with customers and trusted partners, like Airvacs and OEE, whose presence contributed to the success of the event and reinforced the long-standing cooperation developed over the years.
With more than 100 years of engineering experience, Pneumofore continues to support the global canmaking industry with reliable, sustainable and high-performance pneumatic solutions designed for continuous 24/7 operation.
