Saudi Basic Industries Corporation (Sabic), one of the world's largest petrochemicals groups, showcased its range of innovative products in construction, printing and packaging at the 12th Saudi Exhibition for Printing, Packaging, Plastics and Petrochemicals 2015 held in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia.

With more than 300 domestic and international exhibitors from 19 countries around the world, the exhibition represented a unique platform for reviewing key services and products in printing, packaging, plastics and petrochemical areas, and discussing the latest trends and opportunities in both local and global markets.

The event, one of the largest specialised trade fairs in the Middle East, was opened on March 1 by Saleh Al Salmi, Deputy Minister of Commerce and Industry for Industry Affairs, on behalf of Dr Tawfiq Al Rabiah, Minister of Commerce and Industry, said the organisers.

Sabic was the Diamond Sponsor of the exhibition held at the Jeddah Centre for Forums and Events from March 1 to 3.

The company also highlighted its technical solutions for key sectors such as transportation, health and consumer appliances, particularly the company’s polymers, synthetic rubber and specialty range, which respond to the sustainability needs of customers.

It used the opportunity to hold a lecture series to raise awareness among customers on various subjects including research, technology, manufacturing, and marketing, besides business developments specific to the company, said a senior official.
