Interplastica: Russian plastics industry expands capacities
Next year’s interplastica, along with the upakovka – processing and packaging – Russia’s leading trade fair for the packaging industry and associated processing industry, will take place from 23 to 26 January 2018 at the Expocentre Fairgrounds Moscow.
The economic recovery in Russia – particularly in the plastics sector – has resulted in interplastica 2018 being very popular with exhibitors. The leading trade fair for the industry will again be presenting a representative overview of the available machinery and equipment for the plastics and rubber industry, raw and auxiliary materials, plastic and rubber products and services. The event’s organisers – Messe Düsseldorf and its subsidiary OOO Messe Düsseldorf Moscow – are expecting around 600 companies to attend from Russia and other countries. Strong participation is anticipated from the host country as well as from Germany, Italy, Austria and Turkey in particular.
Russia’s economy started to grow again in 2017 and the gross domestic product is expected to increase by between 0.5 and 2%. Investments will probably increase by 1.5%. Selected sectors, including the machinery and automotive construction, aerospace, electronics, IT and telecommunications, chemicals and mining industries, are being supported by the government. Petrochemical and industrial-gas generation plants are being built for the purposes of manufacturing intermediate and end products with greater margins and with the aim of improving supplies of raw materials from domestic sources to the country’s own chemicals industry. The plastics manufacturing and processing sectors, which have already been increasing their capacities for some time now, are also benefiting from this support (Source: GTAI – Germany Trade & Invest).
interplastica 2018 will again be occupying Halls 1, 2 and 8 at the Expocentr Krasnaya Presnya in Moscow. The upakovka – processing and packaging – Russia’s leading trade fair for the packaging industry and associated processing industry – will also be taking place at the same time and will be directly linked to the Hall Forum. That means that exhibitors and visitors will again be able to benefit from interesting synergy effects.
