ILPRA Group Takes Center Stage at CFIA Rennes 2026: Three Days Devoted to Innovation in Processing and Packaging

From March 10 to 12, 2026, ILPRA Group participated in CFIA Rennes, one of the most important events for the French food industry. At booth 10–F37, ILPRA and Gelmini presented their integrated technologies, welcoming companies from all over France—ranging from major industrial players to regional producers across various food sectors.

For three days, the ILPRA France team met with long‑standing partners, engaged with new prospects, and showcased the Group’s comprehensive offering for food processing and packaging. The event once again confirmed CFIA as a strategic platform for strengthening ILPRA’s presence in one of Europe’s most dynamic and competitive markets.

Machines showcased at the booth

ILPRA Group presented a selection of solutions designed for flexibility, productivity, and efficiency in food packaging processes. The machines on display included:

• FormPack
• FoodPack Sprint
• FoodPack 400 Extra Roto
• Gelmini – Automatic cheese cutting machine

This combination offered visitors a clear overview of the Group’s capabilities across thermoforming, tray sealing, and cheese processing applications.

A key highlight of this year’s participation was the official debut of Gelmini within the ILPRA Group booth. For the first time, Gelmini presented its solutions to the French market as part of the Group, marking a significant step forward in the integration process.

Gelmini showcased its advanced wedge‑cutting systems for hard and semi‑hard cheeses. Equipped with 3D vision technology and engineered for highly precise fixed‑weight cutting, these solutions attracted strong interest from dairy producers—particularly those seeking to automate portioning while maintaining strict quality and consistency standards.

This debut expanded the scope of the Group’s offering at CFIA, reinforcing ILPRA’s position not only in packaging but also in specialized food processing equipment.

CFIA 2026 proved to be a successful edition for ILPRA Group, marked by a steady flow of visitors, meaningful exchanges, and strong interest in solutions aimed at improving efficiency, product quality, and production line performance.

Throughout the event, booth 10–F37 served as a lively meeting space where industry professionals could interact with our team, discuss market needs, and observe key technologies in operation.
