Moreover exhibitors coming from width and breadth of the global industry reinforce the faith that they have in AIMPA as an organiser. "The space for the exhibition was sold out nine months before the show. Exhibitors look forward for this event, keep their budgets and participate wholeheartedly. Many of exhibitors had booked their space in last edition of the show itself. And, we are still receiving enquiries and trying to accommodate as many as exhibitors as we can by erecting temporary hanger," ensured Murarka.

Broadening horizons
Plastic is one of the industries that holds immense growth in the future. And with support from government through ‘Make in India', the industry can achieve a lot. Speaking on the market scenario, Murarka said "A decade back, the market was estimated to be at 20 million metric tonnes by 2020. However, we have crossed this mark well in advance in 2016. This talks a lot about the potential and growth rate of the plastics industry. Through Plastivision India, AIPMA is offering a platform for the industry to make the most of it."

Additionally, plastic is a magical material that finds its application in variety of industries. "Therefore, we are targeting to take this show to all these user industries such as infrastructure, automotive, packaging, agriculture, etc. In order to spread the awareness on the show in varied sectors, we are conducting road shows in approximately 50 industrial hubs in the country. We also have invited government bodies and research & development agencies to visit the show," explained Murarka.

To summarise…
A trade fair is normally looked upon as a networking platform. However, Plastivision India 2017 has gone beyond the traditional recognition of the exhibition. Along with live demonstrations of the machines, the show will offer ideal networking platform for B2B meetings. Also, it is a perfect matchmaker for businesses which are looking for exports, agents, dealers, etc. The new pavilions will showcase the expanded use of plastics. In other words, this show is going to be bigger, better and broader in all respect compared to its earlier editions!
