Plastpol - this is where you do business on the international arena. Energy efficiency and sustainability come at the top of priority lists

plastpol-2024-galeria-10.jpg [183.98 KB] The four Plastpol days were packed with thousands of energetic conversations, budding business ideas and contract conclusions. The event has again turned out to be the largest and most important meeting in Central Europe, the plastics and rubber processing industry's development booster. The latest technologies, complete production lines and raw materials were presented at expo stands. 603 companies from 31 countries in Europe, Asia and the Middle East showcased their offer to over 15,000 people from various parts of the world. 

- Poland is the plastics processing centre in our part of Europe, thus, our Plastpol presence is a must for Engel, a global manufacturer of injection machines - emphasised Adam Marciniak, Engel Polska. – The expo centre is bus and throbbing with life, many guests visit our expo stand. He adds that Polish entrepreneurs demonstrate optimism; we are entering another promising, green straight.

Optimism dominated every exhibition day. - Most of our customers gaher in one place, this largely supports our sales. Adam Polakowski, BOLE Europe Technology said we sold three machines in three days. Marta Gościniak from Dopak emphasised the expo's double role as the place to establish relationships and present the latest technologies. - In the near future, she emphasises that talk-shop conversations will turn into orders. Vincent Kundrat, Meyer Europe, specified that  – More than fifty percent of the business meetings held here in Kielce result in contracts. 

The price included energy efficiency, i.e. Plastpol contracts

plastpol-2024-galeria-09.jpg [194.22 KB] High-tech injection moulding machines were sold by machine manufacturers ranked among the world leaders:  Arburg, Engel, BOLE Europe Technology. The contractors also include Polish entrepreneurs. The Italian TOYO Europe signed contracts for robots and injection moulding machines. Further injection moulding machines manufactured by the Asian manufacturer Borche were sold to the Polish Plastigo. The Polish Muehsam were conducting promising talks with great potential. A bottle sorter worth several hundred thousand euros from the Slovak Mayer went straight from Targi Kielce to Romania.

– Innovative technologies proved very popular, and the expo stands were crowded. In other words, energy efficiency was the key to many negotiations. The organisers find it great satisfaction that visitors find answers to their needs during our events at the exhibitors' stands - emphasises Andrzej Mochoń, president of the management board of Targi Kielce.

Visitors learned about the latest offers from brands including  Wadim Plast, Wittmann, Arburg, Sumitomo (SHI) Demag, Engel, TMA Automation, Muehsam, Dopak and Krauss Maffei Technologies, Tools Factory.

Raw materials for the sustainable development of the plastics industry put in the limelight at Targi Kielce

Many talks conducted by the German Kraiburg TPE, a producer of TPE compounds for the automotive, consumer products, industrial and medical sectors, have been successfully completed.

The agreement highlighting the sustainable development of the industry was signed by Polish ML Polyolefins,  i.e. Central and Eastern Europe's largest producer of PP regranulate, and one of the leading European suppliers of plastic products for households, Keeeper Group, established cooperation. The contract stipulates the supply of approximately 2,000 tons of recyclate per year. As both parties emphasise, this cooperation is the result of striving for sustainable development not only in the plastics processing industry but also in the sectors using plastics, such as trade.

Plastics go green. Industry insiders' discussions at Targi Kielce

plastpol-2024-galeria-25.jpg [175.39 KB] Many discussions concerned sustainable development, energy efficiency, and the development directions for plastics conversion and processing in Poland and Europe. The PlasticsEurope Polska Foundation presented current data related to the current situation of the Polish plastics industry on the whole Europe backdrop at the "Plastics Industry in Poland and Europe" conference.  - The plastics industry is a global industry, and for many years, Europe has been the main plastics producer. Now, Europe's share of world production accounts for 14%. China is ranked the leader. The amount of plastics produced globally is increasing,  in 2022, global production reached 400.3 million tons.  – explained Dr. Eng. Anna Kozera-Szałkowska, Managing Director of Plastics Europe Polska.  As she emphasised, the data on the production of circular plastics s encouraging as the share had increased by over 30%, i.

Jacek Szczerba, representing the tworzywa.pl website emphasised that many key issues related to the optimisation of production processes were raised, both in terms of throughput and energy efficiency. They have a pivotal impact on the economics and efficiency of the processing technologies.

Plastics and art at the Plastpol Expo

For the first time, an art zone was held within the scope of the Plastpol expo -  the project was initiated by PhD. Magdalena Laabs and Engineer Adam Laabs run the Laabs Art Gallery in Eberswalde near Berlin. They were supported by the Rolbatch engineering company. Unique oil paintings of the Laabs family, as well works of art by Beata Filek, representing the "Tworzywa" magazine, Jolanta Kurzela and Claire Dubois aroused exceptional interest. The plastic sculptures made of plastics by Tom Dierick from BEGRA also attracted attention.

- Such an extensive offer makes the Plastpol a comprehensive global plastics processing industry meeting. We look forward to seeing you next year, from 20 to 23 May 2025 - join us at Targi Kielce - emphasises Kamil Perz, project director.
