The Plast exhibition returns on 9 to 12 June at Fiera Milano, Rho, to once again become the showcase to the world for Italy’s plastics and rubber industry. This is the 20th edition of Plast, indicating the ability of the long-established event to promote the Italian industry as a destination for foreign investment and as a leading exporter of machinery and materials.
Plast editions have mostly taken place in a
three-year cycle, apart for occasional unavoidable interruptions, for example during the Covid pandemic. The event has continued to adapt and evolve, thanks to the efforts of the organiser Promaplast to maintain interest by introducing new features for visitors to the show, and create new events in the cycle, such as GreenPlast in 2025.

The MaTec project brings together Plast with two other manufacturing shows: Composites Future and Xylexpo (wood and furniture technologies).
