The International Fibre Moulding and Paper Forming Conference
Welcome to The International Fibre Moulding and Paper Forming Conference (IFPC), which is being organised by RISE in Stockholm for the fourth consecutive year on 23–24 September 2026.
A strategic meeting place for industry and research
The International Fibre Moulding and Paper Forming Conference is a central platform for professionals and experts in the 3D shaped fibre and paper packaging industry. The event focuses on technological innovations and current market insights that are shaping the sustainable solutions of the future.
We invite you to two content-rich days in Stockholm, where leading players in the industry will gather to exchange knowledge, establish collaborations and discuss future opportunities. The conference offers a qualified forum for inspiration, networking and strategic development in a rapidly changing field.
Inspiration from IFPC 2025
At the previous International Fibre Moulding and Paper Forming Conference, stakeholders from across the value chain came together to share experiences and perspectives on market trends, process technology developments and new solutions in moulded fibre and paper-based packaging. The discussions and insights from the conference continue to shape developments in the field and form the basis for the issues, collaborations and opportunities that will be in focus when the industry meets again in autumn 2026.

Testimonials
The conference was nice and interactive. Also, I gained a lot of connections, knowledge and some nice people working in the field. Looking forward to attending again next year.
Very good experience. Strong turnout. High quality of talks and attendees. The RISE tour was good.
For me the presentations were extremely useful, albeit some were a bit too technical for me, and that is understandable.
However the best part was to visit RISE and see their capabilities, but most importantly the networking amongst people who share the same passion and experience.
