ArabPlast, a leading trade fair for plastics, rubber, petrochemicals and packaging in the MENA region, will be held from 13 to 15 December 2023 at the Dubai World Trade Centre.

Since 2004, Al Fajer Information & Services and Messe Düsseldorf have maintained a partnership, whose continuation was secured by the signing of a contract in Düsseldorf on 27 February 2023.

"ArabPlast is the leading communication and business platform for the plastics and rubber industry in the Arab world," said Erhard Wienkamp, Managing Director of Messe Düsseldorf. "I look forward to continuing our successful cooperation with Al Fajer Information & Services."
