Plast Eurasia Prepares to Open Its Doors for the 35th Time, Bringing the International Plastics Industry Together in Istanbul

The 35th International Istanbul Plastics Industry Fair, to be held from December 2–5, 2026, at the Tüyap Fair and Congress Center in Istanbul, will bring together all key production groups in the industry—from plastic manufacturing machinery to raw materials and chemicals.

Organized by Tüyap Fairs and Exhibitions Organization Inc. in cooperation with PAGEV (Turkish Plastics Industry Foundation) and with the support of the Republic of Türkiye Ministry of Trade, Plast Eurasia leverages its 35 years of experience to advance the future of the industry through next-generation technologies, international trade, and sector-specific events.

Guided by the motto “Transforming Connections into Trade for 35 Years,” the fair will serve as a vital platform and meeting point for manufacturers, technology providers, raw material producers, distributors, procurement professionals, and international industry representatives to forge new commercial connections.

Growing Interest in the Fair’s 35th Edition

The interest in the 35th edition of Plast Eurasia is already evident months ahead of the event. With 90% of the exhibition space sold approximately three months before the opening, the industry’s confidence in Plast Eurasia—as well as the fair’s critical importance to international trade—is clearly demonstrated.

With a focus on welcoming professional visitors from various markets—most notably Germany, Belgium, Greece, Romania, France, Italy, Poland, the United Arab Emirates, Morocco, Qatar, and Saudi Arabia—the fair is expected to bring together a total of 80,000 visitors from both Turkey and abroad. 

Recognized by the Ministry of Trade as a “prestigious fair,” Plast Eurasia continues to serve as a key event that helps showcase the production and export capabilities of the Turkish plastics industry to international markets. 

Two Core Pillars of Plastics Production Under One Roof 

Plast Eurasia brings together the two fundamental product groups of the plastics industry—production machinery, and raw materials and chemicals—on a single platform. 

In addition to next-generation production technologies, machinery solutions, raw materials, and chemicals, the fair’s commercial agenda will highlight key developments in industrial efficiency, innovation, and value-added production. 

Beyond being a venue for showcasing new products and technologies, the fair serves as a hub where industry professionals can forge new business connections, strengthen existing commercial ties, and explore emerging opportunities in global markets. 

A 35-Year Journey to be Told Through a “Roadmap of Milestones”

To mark the 35th anniversary of Plast Eurasia, a “Roadmap of Milestones”—highlighting key turning points in the history of both the industry and the exhibition—will be displayed at the venue. 

Presented as a “time tunnel” themed “As Plast Eurasia Grows, the Industry Evolves,” the exhibition will take visitors on a chronological journey through the significant developments of the past 35 years, showcasing the milestones that have shaped the industry’s transformation. 

Brands That Have Added Value to This Journey for 35 Years 

We extend our gratitude to all the exhibitors who have accompanied Plast Eurasia throughout its 35-year journey and made valuable contributions to its development. In honor of this special anniversary, Kontel Elektronik, Enformak Plastik Teknolojileri, and Almak Ateş Makine—companies that have been part of Plast Eurasia’s journey for 35 years—will be presented with special plaques during the opening ceremony. 

Additionally, a “Historical Plastics Manufacturing Machinery Exhibition” will be held at the venue, illustrating the evolution of plastics production technologies from the past to the present. Curated around the concept that “these machines did more than just manufacture—they laid the foundation for an entire industry,” the exhibition will feature production machinery used during the early days of the plastics sector. 

Exhibitors Take the Stage with “Value-Added Products and Innovation” 

In celebration of Plast Eurasia’s 35th anniversary, the “Value-Added Products and Innovation – The Stage Is Yours” program will be held, offering exhibitors a platform to share their knowledge and expertise directly with industry professionals. Under the concept of “Value-Added Products and Innovation: Plast Eurasia Exhibitors Take the Stage,” 30-minute presentation slots will be allocated to participating companies on a stage located in the foyer area. 

On this platform, companies will have the opportunity to share their products, technologies, success stories, and industry-specific solutions with visitors, allowing them to convey their expertise directly to industry professionals.

A Targeted Trade Platform for International Buyers

To strengthen the international trade dimension of Plast Eurasia, a “Hosted Buyer Guided Tour” program will be implemented.

The program facilitates the connection between international purchasing delegations and the specific product categories and exhibitors they are looking for, while simultaneously providing Plast Eurasia exhibitors with the opportunity to establish high-quality business contacts with international buyers.

The International Istanbul Plastics Industry Fair, Plast Eurasia, will be open to visitors at the Tüyap Fair and Congress Center in Istanbul from 10:00 to 18:00 on December 2–4, 2026, and from 10:00 to 17:00 on December 5, 2026.
