Excellent news: in 2009, the organisers have "earned the ‘UFI Approved Event' quality label for plast expo as certification of the highest level of professional exhibition standards".

Against the backdrop of massive investments into the North-African plastics and packaging industry and a huge increase in demand for plastics and chemical products, the  Moroccan Platics Association AMP in cooperation with Forum 7 and fairtrade now organise plast expo 2011.
 
Under the auspices of the Moroccan ministry of industry and trade and the ministry of foreign trade, the 4th International Plastics, Rubber, Composites, Packaging and Conditioning Trade Fair for Morocco and North Africa is scheduled to be held at the Casablanca International Fairgrounds on 6 to 9 April 2011.
 
plast expo, a bi-annual event, works out successfully as the Euro-Mediterranean gateway to Africa. At plast expo 09, for instance, 102 exhibitors from 19 countries  met and discussed business with 2,058 registered trade visitors from 27 states. Exhibitors especially welcomed the initiative of AMP and the Moroccan state agency for export promotion, Maroc Export  , who had successfully put a hosted-buyers' program into effect. As a result, high-profile trade visitors from Algeria, Egypt, Gabon, Ivory Coast, Jordan, Mali, Mauritania, Senegal and Tunisia could be welcomed to discuss business with plast expo 09 exhibitors.

For plast expo 2011, this hosted-buyers' program is even to be extended. As such, the organisers count on more than 2,500 trade visitors from 30 countries and 120 exhibitors. In addition to many international market leaders, some official pavilions will be back, the official Austrian pavilion for instance, the Valencia Association of Plastics Producers for Spain and many others.
For the upcoming event in 2011, the organisers are determined to add even more value to the show. In cooperation with the AHK network of German chambers of commerce in Algiers, Casablanca and Tunis, the organisers have built-up an excellent database in order to get in direct personal touch with the decision-makers in the Maghreb and other French-speaking African countries. A vast direct-marketing campaign has been tailored to bring even more high-profile trade visitors to the event!
