PACK EXPO
Bosch Rexroth exhibits automation solutions that boost productivity across the packaging value stream at PACK EXPO 2026
Few industries face the kind of complex, constantly shifting trends and customer preferences that consumer packaged goods (CPG) manufacturers deal with daily. CPG companies prioritize solutions to manufacturing challenges such as supply chain transparency, digital transformation and production line flexibility.
Rexroth will display automation product technologies and solutions for the packaging industry in Booth S-1654 at PACK EXPO 2026, October 18-21, in Chicago, IL.
Bosch Rexroth has the industry’s most complete factory automation solutions engineered to meet the unique needs of CPG manufacturers. At PACK EXPO, attendees will be able to experience this for themselves and interact with a selection of exhibits from Bosch Rexroth’s various technology groups, as well as speak one-on-one with product experts on the latest advancements in automation technology.
Featured Solutions and Technology

VarioFlow plus Plastic Chain Conveyance
High throughput rates combined with constantly changing package designs can become a productivity nightmare if the wrong material transport systems trap packaging lines into limited configurations. Bosch Rexroth conveyors and transport systems like VarioFlow plus are modular systems engineered with maximum flexibility.
ctrlX FLOW High-Speed Conveyance
Automating and optimizing intralogistics processes is essential for the success of the Factory of the Future. With the ctrlX FLOW product family, Bosch Rexroth provides easy-to-integrate solutions that enable optimal and highly efficient material and goods flows.
Complete Palletizing System
Featured will be a multi-tech collaborative palletizing demo, built on a foundation of Bosch Rexroth’s aluminum structural framing, that consists of a VarioFlow plus conveyor system that delivers high accuracy with unprecedented speed, combined with a Kassow Robots 7-axes cobot designed for heavy-payloads.
ctrlX DRIVE Cabinet-Free
Cabinet-free servo drive technology offers several key advantages, including easy installation, significantly reduced space requirements, minimal cabling, and high flexibility. The ctrlX DRIVE cabinet-free IP65/IP67 system effectively eliminates the need for a control cabinet, freeing up space for modular, lean production setups.
VarioFlow belt Conveyor System
The modular belt conveyor from Bosch Rexroth ensures the smooth transport of CPG, pharmaceutical and healthcare products. Thanks to its fine-meshed and level surface, it is ideal for transporting bulk and film-wrapped products as well as large-format packaging. The modular design also benefits manufactures with flexible belt widths and layouts, maximizing adaptability and efficiency in production.
