ABOUT THE FAIR
PLASTFAIR is the leading trade fair for plastics technology in Brazil and is one of the most important platforms for innovation, sustainability, and business development in South America. It takes place every two years at the Expotrade Convention Center in Curitiba – a major industrial and innovation hub in southern Brazil, nestled in a region with a well-developed industrial infrastructure and growing relevance for sustainable production.
Organized by Diretriz Empreendimentos – a seasoned event organizer with decades of experience – PLASTFAIR brings together the entire plastics value chain. It spans raw material producers, machinery and tooling manufacturers, packaging specialists, automation experts, service providers, and recycling companies. The event is aimed at professionals from production, research, development, procurement, and sustainability management, particularly within the plastics, packaging, automotive, construction, and consumer goods industries.
The fair focuses on forward-looking topics that are shaping the future of the sector: new materials and additives, advanced manufacturing methods such as injection molding and extrusion, smart automation driven by Industry 4.0, energy-efficient production systems, innovative packaging solutions, and breakthroughs in tool and mold making. Key issues such as recycling, circular economy, and ESG criteria highlight the industry’s commitment to social and ecological responsibility.
PLASTFAIR is more than just a product showcase – it is a dynamic innovation hub. Expert conferences, live demonstrations, discussion panels, training sessions, and targeted matchmaking formats foster direct exchange among buyers, suppliers, and decision-makers. International exhibitors present cutting-edge technologies and sustainable solutions, including machinery, tools, components, services, and digital automation technologies.
