Would you like to be part of a promising market? Then join us at #CentralAsiaPlastWorld - the most important trade fair for plastics & rubber in Kazakhstan and Central Asia. The show will take place June 26 to 28, 2024, at the Atakent Exhibition Center in Almaty. Why #Kazakhstan? Kazakhstan is considered the most economically developed country in Central Asia, with a gross domestic product of 193 billion US dollars. The country is aiming for greater industrialization in the coming years and is experiencing high growth, e.g. in the automotive industry. Imports of machinery and equipment as well as chemical products are booming. For this reason, annual growth of around six percent in plastics consumption is expected in the coming years. #CentralAsiaPlastWorld is a member of the "Global Gate" service brand. Messe Düsseldorf GmbH, which organises K – The World's No.1 Trade Fair for Plastics and Rubber, bundles its global business in this sector under this brand. Central Asia Plast World is the first platform of the "Global Gate" family in Central Asia. Interested?

Fruitful ITM for Karl Mayer Group... At this year's ITM in Istanbul where the majority of visitors came from Turkey, the Karl Mayer Group once again demonstrated it is a reliable partner for its customers, especially in difficult times. In particular, the number of trade visitors from North Africa and Central Asia was lower than usual. Nevertheless, the Karl Mayer Group trade fair team was able to report successes. The positive outcome included numerous new contacts - 22% of the registered guests were first-time visitors - and an almost consistently high number of Turkish visitors as at ITM 2022. Above all, however, there was a high-quality professional exchange with dialogue partners, most of whom had specific concerns. "We had many in depth discussions, mostly about the difficult economic situation. Our customers are currently looking for ways to reduce their costs and increase the efficiency of their production. The solutions we presented in the areas of machine technology, digital solutions, service and textile innovations gave our customers a lot of valuable insight for their business. It is also relevant to note that with the quick changing requirements of retailers, machine flexibility is becoming as important as speed," says Toros Greenhalgh, Managing Director of the Turkish subsidiary of the Karl Mayer Group, which has only started local operations this year.
