The 7th edition of this international trade fair for plastics, printing and packaging, plast alger & printpack alger, will take place at the state-of-the-art CIC Abdelatif Rahal International Conference Centre in Algiers from 16 to 18 May 2022.
The Algerian plastics, printing and packaging industry is booming. According to EUROMAP and VDMA, Algeria ranks among the largest importers of plastics in primary forms and of plastics, printing and packaging technology in Africa and the Middle East.
Martin März, fairtrade founder and managing partner says, “We are proud that since 2010 plast & printpack alger has been embraced by leading technology and raw material suppliers from around the globe as their most important business platform in the region. And we thank the Algerian government as well as Algerian, Maghreb, European, Middle Eastern and Asian embassies, institutions and associations for their unmitigated and ongoing support.”
