PLAST 2023 | EVENT PREVIEW
Plast returns as a live expo
Plast last took place as a live event in 2018 before the Covid pandemic disrupted exhibition schedules. Here we preview some of the injection moulding exhibitors at the 2023 show
Italy’s major plastics exhibition Plast takes place on 5-8 September at the Fiera Milano fairgrounds in Rho-Pero, following a five-year hiatus when the Covid pandemic prevented it being held as a face-to-face event. In 2022 the Plast organiser Promaplast ran a new sustainability event called GreenPlast as a bridge event between the 2018 and 2023 live editions of Plast. More than 1,200 exhibitors had registered for Plast 2023 by June, compared with 1,500 at the 2018 show. Mario Maggiani, Managing Director of Promaplast, has been positive about the 2023 show’s potential, saying two-thirds of exhibitors are Italian and the rest international (branches of foreign enterprises located in Italy are counted as Italian). Plast 2023 comprises six halls: Halls 9 and 11 for
raw materials suppliers; 13 and 15 for extrusion; and 22 and 24 for injection moulding, blow-mould- ing, and auxiliaries. In addition to three satellite

shows – dedicated to rubber (Rubber), additive manufacturing (3D Plast), and innovative polymers (Plast-Mat) – the event will host conferences and workshops, plus a new feature organised by The Innovation Alliance.
Sustainability is once again a major theme at
Plast, to which can be added the topical issue of energy efficiency. Arburg says it is responding to buyers’ desire to save energy and Italy’s increased need for sustainability by having a presence at Plast 2023. Raffaele Abbruzzetti, Managing Director of Arburg Italy, says: “After the summer break, it’s the right time for players in the plastics industry to have a fresh start, look around and find ideas that can make them more competitive.” Plast 2023 is open to visitors from Tuesday 5 September to Friday 8 September from 9.30am to 6.00pm.
