Unveiling more than 40 exclusive and hot technologies, in an open forum format, helping professional buyers quickly grasp the development trends of the rubber and plastic industry, and efficiently connect with high-quality suppliers.

The event covers five themes: innovative packaging solutions, green carbon reduction solutions, automotive plastic solutions, 2026 new rubber and plastic materials, and specialized, refined, and unique technology selections (newly added).

The participating companies include: Dow, SABIC, BASF, Sesco, Avient, KraussMaffei, Wittmann Battenfeld, Husky Technologies™, etc.

Medical device, consumable, and pharmaceutical packaging manufacturers are facing critical challenges in safety compliance, cost reduction and efficiency improvement, and green transformation. "Medical Plastics Hub" will focus on global innovations and cutting-edge technologies to help medical product manufacturers stay ahead of industry trends and navigate these transformative shifts.

The “Medical Plastics Forum” brings together leading enterprises such as A. Schulman (now part of PolyOne), Dow, Covestro, and Wanhua, delivering highly valuable technical presentations and exploring solutions to accelerate the implementation of medical innovations.

• Color Masterbatches and Composite Materials for Consistent Medical Device Colors

• Innovative pharmaceutical packaging solution with transparency, flexibility and sterile assurance

• Radiation-resistant Medical PVC Technology and Industrialization Solution for Hemodialysis System

• High-transparency polycarbonate with excellent disinfectant resistance and flame retardancy

Under the trends of green transformation and safety upgrades, additives have become a key driver of innovation in the plastics industry. On the second and third days of the exhibition, the “Additives Seminar: Enabling Sustainable and High-Quality Plastics” will be held, focusing on high-value-added and sustainable plastic solutions.

Under the dual waves of globalization and green transition, how can the plastic mold industry leverage digitalization to achieve intelligent manufacturing upgrades and build sustainable competitiveness for the future?

This forum focuses on two core trends in the industry - "intelligence" and "sustainable development." We will delve into how to achieve intelligent upgrades through robots, AI, and management systems, empowering enterprises to significantly boost their efficiency; and examine how green manufacturing, under the context of global markets and environmental regulations, can shape core competitiveness, ushering in a new chapter of sustainable development.

The seven thematic forums of "Application Symposium" join hands with the plastic and rubber application terminal industries to voice their perspectives, unveiling the pain points of the terminal industries from a brand's viewpoint and seeking upstream and downstream collaborative solutions.

The forum focuses on over 50 hot topics including automotive, medical, packaging, antimicrobial, cable, and green PVC products, to promote the sustainable development of the rubber and plastics industry through collaboration.
