Moving forward to the 27^th edition, CHINAPLAS (the 27^th International Exhibition on Plastics and Rubber Industries) not only continues to hit the new record on the show scale, but also brings in many new elements. In order to allow visitors to have sufficient time for procurement and technological exchange, the show period of CHINAPLAS 2013 will be extended to four whole days, staging from May 20 to 23, 2013 at China Import & Export Fair Complex, Pazhou, Guangzhou, China. Visitors are worth spending at least two days to visit the show to grasp the best from this international all-round sourcing platform.

The setup of new theme zones is always a good indicator of the market needs. In view of the extensive application of plastic film and its technology nowadays, a new theme zone, namely “Film Technology Zone”, will be established in CHINAPLAS 2013, so as to cater for the increasing needs of plastic film buyers from the medical, electronics, I.T., solar power, packaging and building industries. This zone will be located in hall 8.1 of the Fair Complex, with a number of well-known film technology suppliers, such as Sun Centre, Webcontrol, Han King, Queen’s, Jandi’s, Conair, Andritz, Atlas, Rajoo, ESOPP, Bobst, HCH, Guangda and General, etc., jointly showcasing a wide range of exhibits which include extrusion lines for blown film, flat film and sheets, stretching lines for film and filament, slitter rewinders, winding equipment, measuring & testing equipment for film, auxiliary equipment for film extrusion lines, printing machines for film, lamination and coating machines and other film processing technologies. Buyers of this theme zone can also discover more related exhibits at the “Plastic Packaging & Blow Molding Machinery Zone”.

Besides setting up a new theme zone, the organizer is going to enlarge the size of “Die & Mould Zone” by 18% over the last edition. Located in hall 3.2 and 4.2, the zone will display various kinds of moulds and processing equipment, like blow moulds, CAD-CAM, extrusion dies, hotrunner systems, injection & compression moulds, mould & die cleaning equipment, mould clamping systems & energy couplings, standard parts for moulds, steel for moulds, texturing and mould fixing devices. Over 200 Chinese and international famous mould players, such as LKM, Push, Sino Mould, Jing Cheng Mould, Mold Masters, Yudo, Hotsys, Mould-Tip, Incoe, Keda, Sure Hot Runner, Carl Zeiss, Huida and Hexagon Metrology, etc, together with two pavilions organized by Hong Kong Mould & Die Council (HKMDC) and Taiwan Mold & Die Industry Association, will demonstrate their strong participation with their flagship technology. Exhibiting the first time at CHINAPLAS, HKMDC pavilion has confirmed an exhibition area of about 400sqm as well as a demonstration zone of about 200sqm, showing the latest technology of Hong Kong Die and Mould Industry, and a live demonstration of Injection moulding process. Exhibits such as a HK-made 5-axis CNC machine, mould 3D finishing machined by 24000 rpm high speed machine and CAMDER coordinate advance milling and drilling machine will be displayed.

In order to facilitate professional buyers to source their interested exhibits in a more efficient way, two specialized regions will be established under Chemicals & Raw Materials Zone. They are “Color Pigment & Masterbatch Zone” and “Additive Zone”, which will be located in hall 9.3 and 10.3 respectively. More than 170 related suppliers will show their presence in these two specialized zones, such as Liwang, Meilian, Orion, Hongda, Sunris, Dunwa, AGC, GCH, Qujing Zhongyi, Boiln, Canal and East Hongqiao. The organizer believes that this newly centralized arrangement will definitely provide a more user-friendly and effective sourcing platform for buyers to source color pigment, masterbatch and additive.

With an ever-increasing scale of CHINAPLAS, the new edition expects to have more than 500 new exhibitors. Moreover, many exhibitors have aggressively expanded their booth areas, such as Huangyan Hanwei at Die & Mould Zone; Yizumi at Injection Molding Machinery Zone and Xinle Huabao.
