It covers all processes related to plastics and rubber, including raw materials, machinery, parts, molds, molding factory equipment, IT technology, products, molding processing and manufacturing technology, and recycling.

This will be the 11th time the event is held, and the focus will be on "Next-Generation Materials" such as bioplastics and composites, and "Innovative Manufacturing Technologies" such as IIoT and AI technologies. The exhibition will be expanded accordingly.
