Response from the industry

The exhibitors at the show come from different segments. Right from the raw material & chemical suppliers to pre & post processing machines manufacturers, mould & dies, packaging lines, automation solution providers are in the exhibitors list. Having such an elaborate exhibitor segments are well categorised into pavilions. "Our pavilions are thoughtfully created. We have pavilions where similar kind of businesses will be located together such as Automation & Robotics, Plastics in Infrastructure, Green Pavilion, etc. However, the unique pavilions that we have created are Consultant Clinic and Job & Career Fair. The Consultant Clinic will offer an enthusiast complete guidance — from conceptualisation up to beginning of production — of setting up a plastic related enterprise. On the other hand, Job & Career Fair is a perfect match making place that is aimed at bridging the human talent gap," mentioned Murarka.

Other than these specialised pavilions, Plastivision India 2017 will have country pavilions from China, Taiwan, UK, Korea, Germany, Italy, USA and Turkey. "As compared to the last edition, you will see bigger German pavilion in terms of floor size while Chinese pavilion will occupy 500 percent more space. That is considerable increase in size of the pavilions," stated Raju D. Desai, Chairman-National Advisory Board, Plastivision 2017. Adding further, Murarka said that in all, exhibitors are coming from 25 countries. "Such an extensive international participation creates new opportunities for exhibitors as well as visitors," he continued.
