Aetna Group will participate in TECNA, reference trade fair for the industrial technologies, taking place in Rimini, Italy from 22 to 25 September. The Group, a global reference in the packaging sector with a strong specialization in end‑of‑line solutions, will be present with a booth dedicated to the TechLab network and its services.
TechLab, reference research laboratory system in the industry, and its Italian unit has been joined by facilities in China, Germany, Spain, the United States and Brazil. The goal is to pursue continuous product and process development, offering customers the opportunity to scientifically verify the effectiveness of palletized load packaging systems.
Aetna Group’s participation in TECNA 2026 also includes involvement in a conference dedicated to intralogistics, scheduled for 24 September. Together with other top players in the ceramic sector, the discussion will focus on the strategic value of this segment, which has become a true lever for the entire production process. With increasingly fragmented orders, constantly evolving formats and packaging, and ongoing pressure on costs and service levels, intralogistics is now responsible for a significant portion of operational continuity and competitiveness downstream of production.
A conference with Aetna Group at the center
“From end‑of‑line to supply chain: how certified load stabilization transforms manufacturing intralogistics” is the title of this important conference, where Aetna Group specialists will present wrapping and end‑of‑line solutions, highlighting their benefits in terms of efficiency and load protection. The session will also include an overview of technologies specifically designed for the intralogistics sector, with a particular focus on LGVs (Laser Guided Vehicles) and internal flow automation. The journey will conclude with an in‑depth exploration of load stabilization, showcasing the value and advantages that TechLab offers customers through testing, analysis and optimization activities.
The starting point is the end‑of‑line, where production meets logistics and where efficiency is often lost. Through daily testing, analysis and certification activities carried out by the various TechLab units, Aetna Group measures and optimizes load performance throughout the entire logistics cycle. In the cases analyzed, benefits include up to 85% reduction in product damage, 40% increase in load stability, and up to 60% reduction in material usage.
From this starting point, the presentation retraces intralogistics in its entirety — from entry‑level solutions to the most advanced automated systems — with applications ranging from consumer goods to heavy manufacturing.
