CHINAPLAS 2018 | SHOW PREVIEW
Chinaplas 2018 welcomes visitors to its new home
A new, larger venue will help this year’s Chinaplas exhibition to host more than 4,000 exhibitors. Here, we preview some of the technologies on show
Now on its 32nd edition, Chinaplas – the huge
plastics show that is now an annual event – has found a new home: for the first time, it will be held at Shanghai’s new National Exhibition and Conven- tion Centre (NECC), in the business district of Hongqiao.
Chinaplas 2018 will host more than 4,000 exhibi- tors – and an expected 180,000 visitors. Exhibition space is expected to exceed 320,000 sq m, an increase of around 30% on the last Shanghai-held show.
“Since 2012, we have faced the problem of space shortage,” said Ada Leung, general manager of Chinaplas organiser Adsale. “By moving to the new venue, we can fulfill the strong demand for exhibition space immediately. This relocation is also good for the long-term development of Chinaplas.” This year’s show runs on 24-27 April. For walk-in visitors, a one-day pass costs RMB 50, while a

four-day pass is RMB 80. Booking online before 18 April gives an early-bird rate of RMB 50 for a four-day pass.
Seminar programme
Chinaplas will again run a number of seminars. For instance, it will run its third ‘Industry 4.0’ confer- ence, with continuing support from German engineering federation VDMA. Three sessions – covering automotive, electrical and electronics, and packaging – will include speakers from companies such as Erema, Reifenhäuser and RWTH Aachen University. The conference runs on half-day sessions on 24-26 April. It will also continue its ‘Tech Talk’ series of
presentations on subjects including smart manufac- turing, new materials and green solutions. The most relevant presentation for film extruders is a paper by Youneung Lee of Seyang Polymer, on its liquid crystal polymers (LCPs) for high speed film –
