On June 19th, the newly renovated International Fairgrounds of Casablanca opens its gates for the 5th edition of plast expo. Until June 22, 150 exhibitors from 19 countries present their innovations for the plastics and packaging industry. The organisers expect an audience of 2,800 professional trade visitors during the four days of the exhibition. plast expo is highlighted by a strong presence of Morocco as host country as well as Spain as Guest of Honor and further participation from Qatar, Italy, France, Turkey, Portugal and Germany. This business-to-business event with a clear focus on quality attendees is organised by the Moroccan Plastics Federation FMP, Forum 7 and their German partner fairtrade Messe from Heidelberg. The event is accompanied by a 3-day conference program.

„plast expo 2013 takes place against the backdrop of massive investments into the North-African plastics and packaging industry and a huge increase in demand for plastics and chemical products“, says Nabil Saouaf, director of FMP. Saouaf further: „The participation of 150 exhibitors from 19 countries mirrors the importance of this international trade show for the whole MENA region.“

By far the largest participation of course comes out of the host country Morocco. With 52 exhibitors Moroccan companies head the ranking. Spain has been appointed as Guest of Honor of plast expo 2013. On this occasion 12 Spanish exhibitors will present their innovations in plastics and packaging, in the frame of the Spanish pavilion organised by AVEP.
