Show & Tell

As March draws to a close, so too does the first quarter of the year—and what a busy start to 2026 it has been! We’ve been travelling across the globe attending a range of trade shows, and this month’s blog offers an insight into where we’ve been and what we’ve been up to.

We kicked off the year with Andrea exhibiting at Marca in Bologna, an Italian private label trade show where businesses showcase their latest products. As our first time exhibiting at the event, it proved to be a great success.

One of the standout moments was the Marca Awards. We entered the Best Innovative Product category and were thrilled to be shortlisted as finalists ahead of the show. During the event, the winners were announced – and we were incredibly proud to secure 2nd place. To be recognised among such inspiring and innovative entries means a great deal to our team and is a true testament to the creativity, strategy, and passion behind our business. A big thank you to Marca for this recognition.

Throughout the show, Andrea had the opportunity to connect with a wide range of businesses, as well as some of our customers – making it a fantastic start to the year.

Also in January, Adam and Mark travelled to Istanbul for the GlobalPETS Forum, where we hosted a tabletop stand. This event is a fantastic opportunity to gain insight into the latest innovations and trends within the pet industry through a series of keynote speakers.

It also gave us a valuable platform to share the Tyler story and highlight how we’re making an impact. The tabletop format allowed for more personal, one-to-one conversations, helping us build meaningful connections with both new and familiar faces across the industry.

We were able to showcase our latest innovations, discuss our sustainability goals, and engage with professionals looking for flexible, high-quality packaging solutions. It was a positive and productive event, and we’re already looking forward to reconnecting with everyone in Lisbon next year.

After a brief pause in February, we were soon on the move again – this time heading to Anaheim for Natural Products Expo West, another new event for us.

Adam and Mark represented us at what they described as one of the busiest trade shows they’ve ever attended. Over three incredibly busy days, the stand saw a constant flow of visitors, with conversations happening from start to finish and very little downtime.

The high level of engagement made this an extremely successful show, allowing us to build a large number of valuable new connections. Since returning, we’ve been busy following up with those we met, and we’re already excited about returning to Anaheim next year.

Returning for our ninth year, Iberzoo remains one of our favourite trade shows. Less than a week after Expo West, Adam, Mark, and Josh headed to Madrid for another packed schedule – complete with a chance encounter with Mauricio Pochettino on the flight!

While slightly less hectic than the previous week, the show was still highly productive. We made many new connections, had a number of positive discussions, and enjoyed catching up with existing customers to see how their businesses are progressing. We also had a great evening with Montego Pet Nutrition.

We’re already looking forward to returning next year to celebrate our 10th year at the show.

We rounded off March with two events in Orlando: The Pet Summit and GlobalPETS Expo.

At The Pet Summit, Adam and Mark attended a series of insightful talks from industry experts, covering topics such as the evolution of the pet industry, sustainability developments, and emerging trends. It also provided another excellent opportunity to build new connections.

Following the pet summit, we moved on to GlobalPETS Expo, where we hosted a small kiosk within the PSC Sustainability Pavilion. Being able to have a kiosk this proved to be a great platform for engaging with visitors about our packaging solutions and sustainability initiatives.

We also attended the PSC Happy Hour, which offered a relaxed setting to reconnect with industry friends and meet new contacts.

It was the perfect way to wrap up a hectic month of travel and events – and we’re already looking ahead to doing it all again in April, starting with FIBO!
