PLAST 2021 - 10% discount on raw space by 10th May

Over 550 companies have already booked their stands at PLAST 2021 (Milan, Italy, 4 -7 May 2021). 

An analysis of the figures relating solely to direct exhibitors who have registered to date – just under 400 – shows an improvement when compared to three years ago, with an increase, though only slight, in the total exhibition area booked (+1.5%). 

This is an encouraging result, above all considering the current situation hallmarked by international tension and concern affecting trade, investments, and the planning of promotional activities, on the part of all companies, including those operating in the plastics and rubber sector. 

Companies which register for PLAST 2021 by 10th of May 2020 will, benefiting from a 10% discount on the participation fees and priority assignment in the respective exhibition halls. 

The list of participating companies is available on  www.plastonline.org. 

PLAST will be the most important event in Europe for 2021 in the plastics and rubber sector, and – together with the collateral exhibitions that make up “The Innovation Alliance”, namely IPACK-IMA, MEAT-TECH, PRINT4ALL and INTRALOGISTICA ITALIA – it will constitute the major European show dedicated to the capital machinery industry, taking up all the halls in the FieraMilano fairgrounds. 

Below are some key figures for the past edition of PLAST, which took place from 29 May to 1 June 2018 in Milan:

• total fair area: 55,000 m² net
• exhibition sectors represented: 75% machinery, 20% materials and products, 5% services
• total exhibitors: 1,510 from 55 countries (57% Italian, 43% foreign; 1,049 direct and 461 via representatives)
• satellite fairs: RUBBER (rubber industry), 3D PLAST (3D printing and related technologies), PlastMat (innovative materials)
• visitors: 63,000 (27.5% from outside of Italy) representing 117 countries.

In this context, the Secretariats of the five shows are defining an agreement in order to create an event of international relevance during the show, in cooperation with one of the most renowned global organizations in the area of the circular economy. The event will see the participation of top managers from multinational companies who will be able to contribute their experiences on the theme of sustainability, above all in the plastics sector. 

This conference will provide an opportunity to highlight the sector’s commitment – something that has been visible for some time now – to the introduction of circular and sustainable materials, technology and manufacturing processes, in order to encourage energy saving and environmental protection. 
In addition, the show and its programme of collateral events will include other occasions dedicated to the in-depth exploration of specific application areas, such as automotive, building, medical products, agriculture and so forth. 

As we have now become accustomed, PLAST will host three satellite shows, focusing on three sectors of excellence in the field, with the respective start-ups: RUBBER (at its fourth edition, dedicated to the world of elastomers, in collaboration with Assogomma), 3D PLAST (at its third edition, highlighting additive manufacturing and related technology) and PLAST-MAT (at its second edition, presenting solutions in innovative plastic materials).
