plast & printpack alger

24 to 26 February will see plast & printpack alger opens its doors in Algiers for the ninth time. Following the great success of the event in 2024, attracting 5,199 trade visitors from 42 countries as well as 297 exhibitors from 22 nations, the trade fair will be staged annually going forward. With this move the organisers fairtrade and Messe Düsseldorf intend to further strengthen Algiers as a regional hub for the plastics, print and packaging industries. The trade fair offers a platform for international companies and brings together the region’s industry and technology leaders.

In the Maghreb region Algiers has become established as the leading market for plastics and packaging technologies. According to the VDMA (Machinery and Equipment Manufacturers’ Association), this country is the second biggest importer of plastics technology on the African continent with investment amounting to EUR 210 million in 2023. Demand for print and packaging technology has also risen substantially: in 2022 Algiers imported print and paper technologies worth EUR 77 million, thereby counting among the largest buyers on the African continent.
