A gathering of the global plastics industry under one roof. That's how we can describe Plastivision India 2017, one of the largest trade fairs for the plastics industry in India. It is organised by The All India Plastics Manufacturers' Association (AIPMA). As many as 1,500 exhibitors are expected to showcase their products and solutions for five days from January 19-23, 2017. With this massive number of exhibitors, we exactly get an idea about scale of the show. No wonder that it has emerged as one of the top five trade fairs for the plastics industry in the world.

The 10th edition of Plastivision India is going to be held at Bombay Exhibition Centre. "Mumbai is considered as Plastics Hub of the Western India. Moreover, it is globally as well domestically well-connected city. Hence, it turns out to be the right venue for the upcoming edition of the show," informed Kailash B. Murarka, Chairman, Plastivision India 2017.

The event is supported by numerous national and international institutes including British Plastics Federation, IPF Japan, Sharjah Chamber of Commerce & Industry, India China Chamber of Commerce & Industry, Association of Japan Plastics Machinery, TAGMA India, Indian Plastics Institute, NSIC, CIPET, FIEO, Indian Institute of Packaging, PLEXCONCIL, PlastIndia Foundation, TAMI, Italian Plastics & Rubber Processing Machinery & Moulds Manufacturers' Association, Indo-Italian Chamber of Commerce & Industry. "NSIC's support has come as a boon for SME and MSME sector as it offers subsidies over the participation in the show. Therefore, you will see substantial participation from these sectors as well," said Murarka.

Plastivision India is also approved by UFI (the international Paris-based exhibition rating agency).
