The trade fairs interplastica, an international trade fair for plastics and rubber, and upakovka, one of the largest trade fairs in Russia for processing and packaging, scheduled for 26-29 January 2021 at the AO Expocentre exhibition centre in Krasnaya Presnya in Moscow, have been cancelled and will take place on their next regular dates, 25-28 January 2022.

“The decision was taken by Messe Düsseldorf in close cooperation with Messe Düsseldorf Moscow,” emphasized Erhard Wienkamp, Managing Director of Messe Düsseldorf. “Moscow has taken stricter measures to contain the corona pandemic due to the drastic increase in the number of infections. Cultural, educational and other events are prohibited until mid-January.”

interplastica is a business platform for the Russian plastics and rubber industry.

The current announcement enables all participants of the interplastica and upakovka to react in time, to reschedule and to concentrate on the event date in January 2022.

interplastica is one of the most important business platforms for the Russian plastics and rubber industry. It offers a representative overview of machinery, raw materials and equipment, such as plastics processing and recycling plants, welding machines, measuring and control technology, raw materials and supplies, as well as plastic and rubber products.

As a member of the interpack alliance, upakovka with its offerings for the packaging and related process industries is aimed at the target groups of food, beverages, confectionery and bakery products, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, non-food and industrial goods.

Messe Düsseldorf Moscow is currently investigating to what extent it can offer interested companies other presentation options for 2021. The next regional trade fair as a live event will be the already firmly established interplastica Kazan, Trade Fair Plastics and Rubber, parallel to the Tatarstan Oil, Gas & Petrochemicals Forum in the Republic of Tartastan/Russia in September 2021. The exact date will be announced shortly.
