Exhibitor Bookings Reopen for UK Corrugated Industry Trade Show 2026

Exhibitor bookings for the UK Corrugated Industry Trade Show 2026 (UKCITS26) have now reopened on the dedicated Trade Show website.  Applications to take a stand at the Show can be made by any company involved in the corrugated sector, not just SPA members.

UKCITS26 will take place at the Telford International Centre on Tuesday 6th and Wednesday 7th October 2026, with exhibitor set-up on Monday 5th October.  Following the success of the 2024 event, we expect significantly higher footfall, with the 2026 Trade Show running as a full two-day event open to the entire industry, including overseas visitors.

Alongside the exhibition area, the Conference agenda is now taking shape, with invited speakers representing brand owners, retailers, and key stakeholders from across the supply chain.  This ensures the programme will offer broad commercial and strategic appeal, making it highly relevant for converters, suppliers, brand owners, and industry partners alike.

To support exhibitors bringing heavy machinery, the SPA has secured ground-floor exhibition space, making the show particularly suitable for large-scale equipment and live demonstrations.

We are also pleased to confirm that several other Trade Associations, that support fibre-based industries, have pledged to exhibit at UKCITS26 and actively encourage their members to attend, further strengthening the breadth and reach of the event across the corrugated supply chain.

With over 60% of exhibition space already booked, companies planning to exhibit are strongly encouraged to secure their space as soon as possible to avoid disappointment.

We look forward to working with exhibitors and partners to make UKCITS26 a standout showcase of innovation, collaboration, and capability within the corrugated industry.

Kind regards

Tim Gray, Chairman
