The third edition of Plastivision Arabia, an international plastics exhibition and conference, will be held in Sharjah, UAE, from February 22 to 25 next year.

Organised by Expo Centre Sharjah, in association with All India Plastics Manufacturers Association, the event is expected to provide insights into improving production and personnel efficiencies and reducing costs.

Plastivision Arabia 2016 is aimed at providing regional manufacturers an instant access to new machinery, technologies and materials.

Given the strong market fundamentals, regional manufacturers are keenly waiting for a premier industry event to better equip themselves in a highly competitive market, said the organisers.

“The regional plastics industry is in the midst of sustained growth focusing mainly on quality, efficiency and environmental concerns. The industry will have to rely on technical innovations to produce a more diverse product range and achieve sustainable growth,” remarked Rituraj Gupta, the president of the All India Plastic Manufacturers Association.

Saif Al Midfa, the CEO of Expo Centre Sharjah, said: "We will continue the partnership with All India Plastics Manufacturers Association, the oldest and the largest apex body of the plastic industry in India, for the upcoming Plastivision Arabia."

"Apart from sharing their expertise, this will facilitate the participation of plastic processing machinery manufacturers from India," stated Midfa.

According to him, Plastivision Arabia has firmly established itself as the best regional sourcing point with its past two editions.

"The next edition of the show is sure to open up more channels for machinery makers and suppliers to tap this high-growth market," stated Midfa.

Plastivision Arabia 2016 will be held alongside Arabia Mold, in association with Demat, the organiser of world-renowned EuroMold, the world’s leading fair for mold-making and tooling, design and application development.

The 2nd Print Pack Arabia, which is jointly organised by Expo Centre Sharjah and the Indian Printing, Packaging and Allied Machinery Manufacturers' Association (Ipama), will also be held concurrently.-TradeArabia News Service
