ABOUT THE FAIR
PlastExpo is a biennial international trade fair that has established itself as a key platform for the plastics and packaging industries in North Africa. Organized by the Fédération Marocaine de la Plasturgie (FMP), Morocco’s national association for plastics processing, the event is exclusively geared toward industry professionals. It brings together manufacturers, suppliers, technology providers, and service companies from across the entire plastics value chain. Since its launch in 2004, PlastExpo has become one of the most important industry gatherings in the region, with a strong focus on innovative products, forward-looking technologies, and sustainable solutions.
The fair is held at the state-of-the-art “Parc des expositions Mohammed VI” in El Jadida, near Azemmour. This modern venue offers spacious exhibition areas, excellent transport links, and comprehensive infrastructure, providing ideal conditions for both exhibitors and visitors. Its geographic location makes the event a strategic hub for businesses from Europe, Africa, and the Middle East seeking insights into market trends and new business opportunities.
PlastExpo covers the full spectrum of the plastics and packaging industries—from processing and machinery to recycling and environmental technologies. Key areas include current advancements in injection molding, extrusion, thermoforming, and blow molding. Exhibits feature raw materials such as polymers, masterbatches, bio-based plastics, and recycled materials, alongside cutting-edge production systems, automation technologies, and Industry 4.0 solutions. Innovative packaging for the food, pharmaceutical, and industrial sectors, as well as logistics applications, also play a prominent role. Special emphasis is placed on recycling and circular economy topics, with showcases of sustainable packaging, waste management systems, and eco-friendly production methods.
In addition, the fair addresses related sectors such as petrochemicals, rubber and composite materials, and the production of semi-finished and finished plastic goods. Live demonstrations and technical seminars facilitate direct knowledge exchange and offer in-depth insights into technological advancements and market dynamics. With its technical depth, international scope, and hands-on approach, PlastExpo is regarded as an essential meeting point for professionals seeking innovation and business development opportunities in the plastics and packaging industries.
On the whole the organisers welcomed on the 4 days of the fair, from 25. June to 28. June 2019, about 300 exhibitors and 8243 visitors on the PlastExpo in Casablanca. The PlastExpo takes place biennially, and therefore for the eleventh time previsibly in June 2027 in Azemmour.
