JOBO AT CHINAPLAS 2026 — A WEEK WE WON'T FORGET

We just got back from CHINAPLAS 2026, and honestly, it was one of those events that reminds you why you do what you do.Held from April 21–24 in Shanghai, CHINAPLAS is always a big deal for anyone in plastics and packaging — but this year felt different for us. We brought our 40 Cavity Cap Compression Molding Machine built specifically for 29/25 caps, and the response from the floor was something we genuinely didn't expect to that degree.

The machine was running live throughout the show, hitting 41,092 caps per hour. Numbers on a spec sheet are one thing — watching it run consistently, hour after hour, in front of a packed exhibition hall is another. People stopped. They watched. They came back with colleagues. That kind of reaction tells you more than any sales report.

Over the four days, we had conversations with people from more than 40 countries. Some were old contacts we hadn't seen since before the pandemic. Many were completely new faces. A few of those conversations turned into something more serious by day three.We've been building toward this kind of recognition for a while. It's good to know the machines speak for themselves.We've been building toward this kind of recognition for a while. It's good to know the machines speak for themselves.
