CEMAT 2025 incorporates processing, packaging and more

From 22–24 July, CeMAT Australia will return to The Dome at Sydney Olympic Park on a different scale and scope with two new features: 

• Industrial Transformation Australia (ITA); and 
• Processing and Packaging Pavilion powered by APPMA.

At its core, CeMAT Australia remains an event for intralogistics and supply chain management, with live demonstrations and access to automation, robotics and warehouse technology.

ITA is a new area dedicated to the technologies and strategies behind smart manufacturing, Industry 4.0 and digital innovation. Developed to meet growing demand from Australia’s manufacturing sector, ITA will provide a focused platform for manufacturers, technology providers and industrial leaders to explore data-driven solutions, from IoT and AI to digital twins and connected factory infrastructure.

The Processing and Packaging Pavilion introduces a focus on innovation in processing, packaging and production automation. Backed by the APPMA, the pavilion will highlight the latest systems and equipment supporting food, beverage, pharmaceutical, chemical and ecommerce production lines.

Across all areas, attendees will see an expanded exhibition floor featuring the latest products and solutions from local and international suppliers.

Alongside the exhibits, the CeMAT Knowledge Theatre will continue together with the new ITA Innovation Stage, which will host speakers from leading brands, emerging innovators and industry bodies. Topics will include everything from AI in the supply chain and cybersecurity in manufacturing to sustainable packaging, ESG compliance and reshoring strategies. The APPMA-led industry program, held within the ITA Ideas Arena, is focused on the future of packaging and processing, covering regulatory shifts, sustainability targets, production automation and the role of smart technology in maintaining global competitiveness. The Australian Forklift Championships will also return for this year’s event.

The event is suitable for professionals from logistics, supply chain, warehousing, materials handling, intralogistics, transportation, packaging, processing, automation, robotics, manufacturing, advanced manufacturing, industrial engineering, food and beverage production, pharmaceuticals, retail, chemicals, mining, energy, government and sustainability.
