The 21st International Plastics and Rubber Industry Exhibition will be held from May 15 to 18, 2029, at the Milan Convention Center (Rho Fiera Milano).

Milan, October 8, 2026 – Promaplast has announced the dates for the next edition of Plast, Europe’s leading trade fair for the plastics and rubber industry. The 21st edition will be held from May 15 to 18, 2029, at Fiera Milano in Rho.

The exhibition’s return to the spring slot in the international trade fair calendar will provide an ideal opportunity for exhibitors and visitors to plan investments and showcase the latest technological innovations in the industry, ranging from processing machinery to next-generation raw materials.

Building on the success of Plast 2026

Plast 2029 builds on the legacy of an edition that exceeded pre-event cautious expectations, despite a backdrop of geopolitical and macroeconomic uncertainty. Plast 2026 attracted 35,000 visitors, with international attendees from 110 countries accounting for 25% of the total. The event featured over 1,000 exhibitors, 44% of whom were international, and covered an exhibition area of 40,000 square meters. In collaboration with the Italian Trade & Investment Agency (Agenzia ICE), the “Overseas Buyer Invitation Program” hosted more than 350 curated international representatives, with multiple session slots reaching full capacity.

Mario Maggiani, Managing Director of Promaplast, stated: “We are announcing the dates for Plast 2029 now to provide exhibitors and visitors with a clear timeline for planning their participation. Returning to May is a continuity signal long anticipated by the market; we are already preparing to make the next edition richer in content, more international, and more closely aligned with the actual needs of businesses.”

“For European manufacturers of plastics and rubber machinery, Plast serves as a strategic showcase platform for the Mediterranean, Middle Eastern, and Eastern European markets,” stated Tobias Baur, President of the European Committee of Machinery Manufacturers for the Plastics and Rubber Industries (Euromap). “At a time when the industry is undergoing profound transformation, marked by the transition to a circular economy and intensifying global competition, trade fairs like Plast are essential for asserting Europe’s technological leadership.”

The new highlights of Plast 2029 will be unveiled in the near future, covering the opening of exhibitor registration channels, co-located satellite exhibitions, innovation initiatives, and internationalization projects. All updates will be published on plastonline.org and the exhibition’s official social media channels.
