ABOUT THE FAIR
Interplast Pack East Africa is one of the most important international trade fairs for the plastics, printing, and packaging industries in East Africa. It is held annually at the Sarit Expo Centre in the heart of Nairobi, Kenya—one of the region’s most modern and best-equipped exhibition venues. The event is organized by MXM Exhibitions, an experienced provider of export-oriented trade fairs and a trusted partner for companies from Africa and the Middle East.
The fair distinguishes itself by showcasing the latest innovations and technologies in plastics, polymers, rubber, corrugated board, printing, and packaging, while presenting targeted solutions for the unique challenges and opportunities of the East African markets. Key focus areas include plastic and packaging materials, advanced printing technologies, sustainable packaging solutions, as well as state-of-the-art machinery and equipment for production, processing, and recycling. Interplast Pack East Africa is aimed at a specialized professional audience, including entrepreneurs, decision-makers, developers, technicians, and researchers.
The exhibition features a wide range of products and services, such as raw materials like polymers and resins, machines for plastics processing, extrusion and recycling equipment, innovative packaging systems, labeling and filling solutions, printing presses, corrugated products, automation technology, as well as testing and measurement instruments. The portfolio is complemented by specialized products such as shrink films, blister packaging, and CNC machines. Sectors such as food and beverage, pharmaceuticals, agriculture, cosmetics, chemicals, and industrial manufacturing particularly benefit from the innovations presented.
The event is specifically tailored to the needs of the East African market, providing companies from Kenya and neighboring countries with an excellent platform to present their products, establish new business contacts, and gain access to international markets. At the same time, it serves as a showcase for current trends—such as sustainable materials and resource-efficient production—and as a forum for exchanging views on industry-specific challenges, including environmental and sustainability issues, recycling, and the circular economy.
A particular highlight of Interplast Pack East Africa is the practice-oriented expert presentations and panel discussions, where specialists provide insights into new technologies, markets, and best practices. This makes the fair a central meeting point for the entire value chain—from manufacturers and suppliers to end users from a wide variety of industrial sectors.
Exhibitors include companies from mechanical and plant engineering, the plastics and chemical industries, the printing and packaging sector, and automation technology. The trade visitors consist mainly of decision-makers and specialists from production, procurement, research, development, and marketing, all seeking innovative solutions to enhance competitiveness and sustainability.
As part of a series of Interplast Pack trade fairs held in other East African countries such as Rwanda, Uganda, and Tanzania, Interplast Pack East Africa offers the opportunity to address regional markets directly and establish cross-border networks. For Nairobi and Kenya, the exhibition represents not only a significant economic stimulus but also a chance to position themselves as a hub for innovation, investment, and sustainable growth in East Africa.
With its modern infrastructure, central location, and excellent transport links, the Sarit Expo Centre in Nairobi provides the ideal setting for Interplast Pack East Africa—a trade fair precisely tailored to the needs of the plastics, printing, and packaging industries in East Africa.
