ABOUT THE FAIR
Expo Plásticos is an international trade fair for the plastics industry and is widely recognised as a leading business, technology and innovation platform for Mexico and Latin America as a whole. The event is organised by Trade Show Factory, S.A. de C.V., an experienced Mexican exhibition organiser specialising in high-quality B2B formats for future-oriented industrial sectors.
The exhibition takes place at the Guadalajara Exhibition Center in Guadalajara, one of the country’s most modern exhibition venues. Guadalajara is regarded as the industrial hub of western Mexico and a major innovation centre, with a strong concentration of companies from the automotive, electronics, packaging and medical technology sectors. This well-established regional industrial cluster gives Expo Plásticos its particular relevance: it is not only an international trade fair, but also a reflection of Mexico’s economic strength as a manufacturing and technology base for plastics.
In terms of content, Expo Plásticos focuses on current, practice-oriented topics across the plastics industry. At its core is a comprehensive showcase of advanced machinery and equipment for plastics processing, including solutions for injection moulding, extrusion and rotational moulding, as well as tools, moulds and auxiliary systems, many of which are demonstrated live in operation. The exhibition is complemented by a broad range of materials, raw materials and additives, including engineering polymers, bioplastics, colour masterbatches and functional additives. Particular added value is provided by solutions in areas such as automation, process control, additive manufacturing, recycling, the circular economy and industrial safety—fields that are increasingly critical to manufacturers’ competitiveness.
Exhibitors represent sectors including machinery and plant engineering, plastics processing, raw materials and chemicals, packaging, automotive supply, construction, medical technology, consumer goods, and environmental and recycling technologies. The visitor profile is equally diverse: decision-makers, buyers, production managers, engineers, developers and managing directors attend the show to prepare investment decisions, identify new business partners and initiate concrete projects. A structured conference and presentation programme featuring expert panels, best-practice case studies and market analyses complements the exhibition and positions Expo Plásticos as a knowledge-sharing and networking platform.
The venue is easily accessible from Guadalajara International Airport as well as from the city centre and offers ideal conditions for an internationally oriented trade fair, with modern infrastructure, spacious exhibition halls and excellent transport links. In this way, Expo Plásticos brings together technological depth, close proximity to regional industry and international relevance, establishing itself as a key meeting point for all those actively shaping the future of the plastics industry.
The Expo Plasticos will take place on 3 days from Wednesday, 13. October to Friday, 15. October 2027 in Guadalajara.
