A key highlight was the ICCMA Congress 2025, held on the theme “Achieving Sustainability, While Pursuing Profitable Growth.” The Congress featured thought-provoking sessions where industry leaders, policymakers, and experts discussed strategies to balance profitability with environmental responsibility.

Concluding the event, Umang Gupta, country head, Reed Exhibitions India (RX India) said, “In the 12th edition, India Corr Expo has only demonstrated its flagship position in the Corrugated packaging industry. At Reed Exhibitions, we understand the challenges and trends of each industry and hence the event was meticulously developed to bring only the best and latest of domestic and international machinery to the show. The strong visitor response, positive exhibitors’ feedback, and business deals that we witnessed at the show only raise the bar for next year’s India Corr Expo 2026 at Mumbai. I thank all our esteemed partners, ICCMA, exhibitors and buyers for making this year’s event a huge success and I look forward to seeing everyone next year at the 13th edition in Mumbai.”

Adding to this, Harish Madan, immediate past president, ICCMA said, “ICCMA Congress 2025 has once again shown the incredible resilience of the corrugated packaging industry to adapt and thrive in a dynamic environment. The sector serves as a vital backbone for sustainable supply chains, supported by numerous companies and attracting a significant number of industry visitors. The discussions at this Congress reflect the collective commitment to innovation, resource efficiency and global competitiveness. It is heartening to see industry leaders, innovators and policymakers come together to chart a stronger and greener future for corrugated packaging in India.”

Rishabh Agarwal, president, ICCMA, adds, “ICCMA Congress 2025 has been a benchmark for the corrugated packaging sector, setting the agenda for its sustainable and competitive future. As an association, our focus is to enable members to balance profitability with responsibility by driving technology adoption, policy alignment and global best practices. The discussions at this year’s Congress have reaffirmed that the industry is ready to innovate, optimize and contribute to India’s green growth. ICCMA will continue to provide direction, advocacy and insights for the long-term transformation of the sector.”
