Friday 1st May 2026 Something exciting is happening this year, and we're not talking about the World Cup! Join us at Metpack 2026 for a first look at what's coming next from Sencon — independent by choice, innovative by nature. At Metpack 2026, Sencon marks 50 years of innovation in the metal packaging industry. But this isn't just a celebration of the past — it's a look at what comes next. Since 1976, Sencon has introduced technologies that have reshaped canmaking — advancing process control, strengthening quality assurance, and setting new industry standards. At this year's Metpack, visitors will be able to explore that legacy through a retrospective of "world firsts" that have helped improve the quality and efficiency of modern can and end plants. But while that history sets the context, it isn't the main story. A Hint at What's Next Behind the scenes, we've been working hard to develop another set of innovative solutions for canmakers. Some of these will be unveiled at Metpack 2026. A dedicated area on the stand will offer a glimpse into what's currently in development — new approaches to solving the real-world challenges faced on today's modern metal packaging lines. The details remain under wraps, but for those working in the industry, it will be well worth a closer look. Evolving the Standards Alongside this preview, Sencon will introduce a new generation of solutions, including: New versions of Sencon's widely used semi-auto enamel rater and digital coatings thickness gauges Self-checking enamel rating can stands A new Benchmark™ series gauge for measuring a previously unmeasured ('lost') dimension within the standard can specification An extended size range version of the groundbreaking ES8000 end and shell gauge Enhancements to Sencon's world-leading canline sensor and leak testing technologies. Built on well-proven platforms, these developments deliver improved performance, smarter functionality, and a more intuitive user experience, continuing a long-standing approach to innovation shaped by close collaboration with customers. More will be revealed at the show. Nostalgia and Networking on the Stand On Wednesday, May 6, Sencon will host a 50th anniversary celebration on our stand. Beginning in the late afternoon and continuing after the exhibition closes, the event will bring together customers, colleagues, and industry partners for an opportunity to connect, unwind, and mark five decades of shared progress.
