Nobody questions the significance of the Middle Kingdom’s economy today. A major share of the upswing that European plastics machine suppliers and plastics producers experienced in autumn 2009 was due to the fact that Chinese plastics processors were able to obtain materials, machines and plants only to a certain extent, and up to a certain level of technology, from domestic suppliers. Considering the product portfolio presented by the machinery and plant engineering companies from Greater China (Peoples’ Republic of China, Hong Kong, Taiwan) at K2010, it became clear that these enterprises are not usually technological trendsetters.

What has been the status quo in many branches of industry for a long time, is now growing to be a major issue in toy manufacturing too: sustainable products and their resource-conserving production. At the International Toy Fair held in Nuremberg, Germany, from February 3 to 8, these trend topics were considered under the slogan “Toys go green”, focusing not only on the toys themselves, but also on their production.

Not everything that glistens in the Italian plastics industry is now gold. But the raw data do at least suggest that the land south of the Alps is again experiencing an upswing. Perhaps Plast 2012 in early May will provide an indication of how long the current high will last.

Fair Takes Place from 13 to 16 April 2021  

Due to a government order the Chinaplas will not be able to take place in August 2020 after all. The fair will be postponed again, although the venue will also change. 

The Chinaplas 2020 was already postponed in February from April 2020 to August 3-6, 2020. Due to the worldwide developments regarding the Corona Pandemic, the fair has now been postponed to next year. It will take place from 13 to 16 April 2021. 

The renewed change of date is due to an order of the Chinese government which bans all trade fair events for the time being, Chinaplas organiser Adsale Exhibition Services Ltd. announced. 

In addition to the change of date, Chinaplas will also be moved from its original venue, the Convention Center in Shanghai, to the World Exhibition and Convention Center in Shenzhen. Shenzhen is considered an important production and R&D center for the Greater Bay Area in China. 

Adsale will do everything in its power to help all exhibitors, partners and visitors to minimise the disadvantages caused by the postponement.
