Plastimagen rescheduled in January 2021 for the pandemic

The twenty-third edition of Plastimagen México, the most important meeting of the plastics industry in Latin America, announced its new dates: January 11 to 14, 2021, at the Citibanamex Center in Mexico City. Due to the health situation caused by Covid-19, it is not optimal to carry out the event safely and securely this November. Therefore, the decision was made to change the dates for this event.

 

Organized by Tarsus México, this event is an international business forum, as well as a technology and training platform. With 45,000 square meters of exhibition space, 870 companies and 1,600 brands from 27 countries, Plastimagen México offers attendees innovations and solutions for companies in the fields of machinery and equipment, raw materials, transformation of plastics and products, as well as services for the industry.

 

“In ongoing dialogues with many key national and international industry participants, our decision is based on the commitment to collaborate with the sector to ensure we host a safe event. The health and safety of our community is our top priority. For Tarsus Mexico, it is our goal to hold events that are both productive and meet stringent health guidelines. We are excited to kick off 2021 with a powerful event that will help jumpstart the economic activity of the plastics industry. Our B2B events are, and will continue to be, a driving business force”, said José Navarro, General Director of Tarsus México.

 

“In this time of crisis, decision making involves great challenges, since multiple factors must be valued, in which life and health are undoubtedly preponderant and must be above any other interest. Today, Anipac thanks Tarsus for having taken into account the voice of many of its associates when postponing the date of Plastimagen México 2020. A decision that clarifies and endorses the values of its executives”, said Aldimir Torres, President of the National Association of Plastic Industries (Anipac).

 

"The plastics industry continues operating and developing. I am sure that this change represents an opportunity, and that the next edition of Plastimagen México will have a better version of each one of us”, he added.

 

“Strategically postponing the shows to January 2021 allows us to not only meet our commitment to the Latin American region’s industry by continuing to deliver a much-needed show next year, but also ensures we offer the highest quality, safe experience it expects from Plastimagen México. Most importantly, as trade platform, the show will play a vital role in reigniting and driving the economic recovery of the region’s plastic industry, as we move through the post coronavirus/Covid-19 recovery phase. We encourage everyone to help our industry bounce back by joining us at the shows in January 2021”, commented Paul St. Amour, Vice President Latin America, Tarsus México.
