BPF Secures Funding for Plastivision 2017

Having submitted a bid to UK Trade & Investment (UKTI) to obtain grants for the Plastivision show (19-23 January 2017 in Mumbai, India) the British Plastics Federation (BPF) is pleased to announce that they have been successful.

“The BPF have been organising British Pavilions at Plastivision since 2011 and the show has always proved highly successful for British participants” commented Stephen Hunt, Membership Services Manager, British Plastics Federation.  “When we first attended in 2011, the show was growing rapidly and had a real buzz to it. That year the show attracted 75,000 visitors, when we returned in 2013 the number of exhibitors had significantly increased to 110,000 visitors”

The exhibition is now one of the largest events in the global plastics calendar and due to the increased level of demand the exhibition space for the show has already sold out, however the BPF are holding space for the British Pavilion.

“We are delighted to announce that we have secured grants of £2,500 for eligible British companies looking to exhibit at the show” said Justyna Elliott, Senior Business Development Executive at the BPF, “however, with a limit of just ten grants and the fact that the show has already sold out we would expect the space we are holding to go quickly”.
