INTRA-LOG Expo expands in South America

INTRA-LOG Expo expands in South America

INTRA-LOG Expo South America 2026, a trade show focused on intralogistics, warehouse automation and supply chain operations, will take place Sept. 15-17 at Expo Center Norte’s Blue Pavilion in São Paulo. Free registration is open for logistics, automation, supply chain, warehouse, distribution, engineering and IT professionals.

The event is entering its third edition with expanded exhibition space and a broader program for companies evaluating technologies that move, store, track and manage goods inside industrial, retail, e-commerce and distribution operations. The 2026 edition has doubled its footprint compared with last year, with 95% of exhibition space sold, and is expected to gather more than 400 national and international brands and more than 8,000 visitors.

INTRA-LOG Expo was launched in 2024 and drew 4,600 qualified visitors and 200 brands in its first edition. In 2025, attendance rose 35% to 6,228 visitors, with 250 Brazilian and international brands. The 2026 edition will also host the debut of Label & Pack Expo, a parallel event dedicated to industrial packaging, labels, tagging, printing, traceability and technologies applied to the logistics chain.

When we created INTRA-LOG Expo, there was a clear gap in the market… Companies in intralogistics and automation were taking part in several industry events, but they did not have a dedicated environment to discuss what happens inside operations. The show grew because the market needs a focused place to compare technologies, see equipment and systems in operation, speak with specialists and make better decisions.

said Cassiano Facchinetti, managing director of INTERLINK Exhibitions, which organises the event in partnership with Grupo IMAM.

Robotics, automation and live demonstrations

The 2026 program reflects the growing role of robotics, artificial intelligence, connectivity and automated distribution systems in logistics operations across Latin America. At least 20% of exhibitors are from outside Brazil, mainly from Asia, as global technology providers use the event as an entry point into the regional market.

The Robotics & Automation Summit will convene manufacturers and providers of robotic solutions to discuss market growth and applications in warehouses, manufacturing, distribution centers and e-commerce operations. Topics will include autonomous mobile robots, automated guided vehicles, mobile robots, robotic arms, autonomous material handling, automated picking and automated storage systems.

“Robotics is moving from isolated projects to the core of productivity, safety and scalability strategies,” Facchinetti said. “The Summit was created to connect global suppliers with the companies that are now assessing how these technologies can work in real logistics operations.”

A 600-square-meter Arena Tech will feature live demonstrations and equipment interaction. The free conference hub will offer technical sessions led by exhibitors, giving decision-makers in logistics, supply

chain, operations, manufacturing, technology, maintenance, engineering and procurement the opportunity to assess solutions in operation.

INTRA-LOG Forum to recognize operational innovation

The third INTRA-LOG Forum will present practical cases involving automation, artificial intelligence, robotics and operational excellence. The 2026 edition will also introduce INTRA-LOG Smart Solutions Honors, a recognition program for CEOs and directors whose companies have developed advanced projects in intralogistics and automation.

“We want the INTRA-LOG Forum to go beyond technical discussion,” said Eduardo Banzato, director of Grupo IMAM and ambassador of INTRA-LOG Expo. “Brazilian logistics has professionals and companies making important transformations that often happen outside the spotlight. Smart Solutions Honors was created to recognize leaders who are changing operations in practice, with impact on productivity, service, safety and competitiveness.”

Label & Pack Expo debuts alongside INTRA-LOG

Label & Pack Expo will run simultaneously with INTRA-LOG Expo in 2026, creating a combined platform for automation, traceability, sustainability and high-performance printing in the packaging chain. The event will feature solutions for industrial packaging, labeling, traceability, digital and flexographic printing, industrial automation, RFID, IoT, artificial intelligence and technologies for controlling and managing products, pallets, packages and cargo.

The exhibitor lineup includes Serralgodão, Robopac, Packing Group, Isoflex, Signode, José Braulio Paletes, CD Embalagens, Polibras, Valgroup, Z-Pisa, Emplaca, D&A Print and Colátio, among others.

Label & Pack Expo will also host the Label & Pack Congress, with content curated by the Brazilian Packaging Association, known as ABRE, and Projeto Pack. The program includes three mornings of sessions on packaging as a logistics strategy and on how the packaging industry is preparing for circularity, competitiveness and future supply chain demands. The congress will also host the launch of ABRE’s Transport Packaging Guide.

Companies scheduled to present cases include Syngenta, Termotécnica, Bosch, Exxon Mobil and Lord Embalagens.

Label & Pack Expo was created as a business-oriented environment for live demonstrations, direct access to specialists and practical discussions on automation and traceability… The packaging sector needed a dedicated and structured event, and that is the gap we intend to address.

Facchinetti said.

Why Brazil matters

For INTERLINK Exhibitions, the integration of INTRA-LOG Expo and Label & Pack Expo reflects a shift in how companies evaluate logistics efficiency. Brazil brings together industrial scale, large transportation networks, logistics operators, e-commerce platforms, retail, manufacturing and growing demand for technologies that can improve productivity and reduce operating costs.

Brazil is a gateway to Latin America and a laboratory for complexity… Companies that can apply technology here are better prepared to operate in other markets across the region. At the same time, Brazilian companies are developing competitive solutions, and international companies are looking at São Paulo as a starting point for growth in Latin America.

Facchinetti said.
