The 17th International Plastics and Petrochemical Trade Exhibition

The exhibition was held in the Riyadh International Convention & Exhibition Centre, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia from 13 to 16 January 2020. As the nation seeks to push development according to the Saudi Vision 2030, exploring the potentials of the plastics, petrochemical, printing and packaging sectors is compulsory in order to promote industrial sustainability and to enhance the capabilities of other sectors.

By bringing together visitors and exhibitors on a vibrant platform, the event serves the objective to get together international companies and local entities to stimulate a contructive dialogue and an exchange of knowledge.
