According to the news office of the tenth international Iranplast exhibition, Mohammad Maghareh, the chairman of the event, touched upon a rise in the number of foreign participants at the exhibit.
“Given the lifting of sanctions against Iran and the post-sanctions atmosphere, there has been growing demand from well-known European firms to take part in the exhibition, so much so that 500 first-rate foreign companies from 25 countries, including 13 from Europe and 12 from Asia, Oceania and Africa, will be participating in the exhibition. The figure has been unprecedented in the history of holding the Iranplast exhibition and indicates the importance of the event”, said Maghareh.
On the fringes of the exhibition, the Düsseldorf company tasked with holding international exhibitions is holding the K 2016 conference in which the world’s best specialized rubber and plastic industries expo is introduced.
Maghareh also touched upon the latest changes and developments related to the tenth international Iranplast exhibition.
“The whole space area in the exhibition has been allotted to Iranian and foreign companies. The presence of this many foreign firms in the tenth international Iranplast exhibition is not comparable to any other development, trade and economic exhibitions held in Iran. The Iranplast exhibit is the only exhibition in Iran which has been able to move closer to international standards and increase the level of its global participation by up to 30%”, he said.
“The most important policy pursued by holding the tenth international Iranplast Exhibition is to lay the groundwork to transfer technology and draw investment to Iran’s complementary petrochemical industries, so that those working in this industry will be able to seize the opportunity to renovate, optimize and manage energy consumption in their aging production lines. That will help increase productivity in the invaluable complementary petrochemical industry”, Maghareh noted.
It is noteworthy that a new cell phone software will be unveiled in the exhibition for the first time. Through the software, visitors can see the map of the exhibition hall they want, and can see an alphabetical list of all companies present in the hall. At this point, visitors can choose the name of a given company to see its location, information on its top executives and contact information. The software also offers a list of all participating companies categorized by the kind of goods they produce. Advanced search among companies is another feature of this cell phone application.
