IMA invites you on a journey through an entire pavilion transformed into a living, breathing expression of what the Group calls Cognitive Manufacturing
Across more than 4,500 sqm and 38 machines in live motion, attendees will enter a place where technology feels intuitive, where intelligence flows naturally between humans, systems and services, and where automation becomes something more: a connected experience designed around people, performance, and possibility.
An immersive innovation space
At the heart of IMA booth lies The Loop, the Group’s immersive innovation space. Here, cutting‑edge ideas come alive: autonomous robotics, AI‑driven interactions, and glimpses of how tomorrow’s production environments will think, adapt and evolve, making concrete IMA’s vision of the future of automation, the Cognitive Manufacturing.
Visitors’ journey continues inside the new IMA Service, where Group’s digital universe expands into advanced insights, proactive care and seamless support, redefining what service can be when everything speaks the same intelligent language.
Attendees will also encounter IMA OPENLab, the Group’s world dedicated to materials, sustainability and the future of packaging. A place where creativity meets science, and innovation reshapes what’s possible.
Attendees from all over the world will have the chance to discover many new machines and innovations developed by the main sectors of the IMA Group.
Here are the NEW machines for the Confectionery market that will be presented at Interpack:
The IMA Ilapak Vegatronic 6400 DZ is an open‑frame continuous‑motion VFFS machine for large Doy‑Zipper bags, equipped with 400 mm sealing jaws and a high‑speed zipper applicator. Ideal for snacks, confectionery, and other markets, it reaches mechanical speeds of up to 120 ppm. Fast format changeover and broad flexibility in pack styles – ranging from pillow and BB to Quad Seal, 3SS and Doy‑Shark with zipper – make it a highly efficient and versatile solution.
On show, a complete packaging line for confectionery products, featuring advanced robotic units for precise picking and placing of items arriving both aligned or randomly, feeding them seamlessly into the flow‑wrapping line for individual primary packaging (EURO 88 PP by IMA Eurosicma). The secondary packaging process (multipacks) is handled by a compact, high‑speed stand‑up pouch form‑fill‑and‑seal machine, paired with a hygienic multi‑head weigher that ensures accurate dosing of the flow‑wrapped products into each pouch (Doytronic 120 and WA 16-10 Slim by IMA Ilapak). Completing the system is a compact, high‑performance case packer, engineered to form cases from flat blanks, load products, and close boxes (AIO G Series by IMA Mespic) – all within a fully integrated, space‑efficient solution.
The SWM600, part of the XWM Series, is a high‑speed wrapping machine by IMA GIMA for stick packs containing gum pellets, mints, and pressed candies wrapped and packed on edge. The XWM Series offers single- or double‑wrap options and adjustable sealing parameters to handle a wide range of packaging materials, including paper‑based and fully recyclable mono‑material films. It also accommodates multiple pellet and tablet sizes, with counting from 4 to 16 pieces and stick lengths up to 115 mm – all with quick, easy changeovers.
