The UPCBMA Kanpur Chapter successfully hosted its Technical Seminar 2026, bringing together members and professionals from the corrugation and packaging industry for an evening focused on knowledge, innovation, technology and stronger industry connections.

The seminar was designed around a simple idea — to look beyond traditional manufacturing and explore the technologies and practices that can shape the future of our industry.
