The power of Plastpol. International arena for doing business, selling machines, and practical talk-shop sessions

plastpol-2025-01.jpg [195.51 KB] "A client with whom we had been trying to establish effective contact for months came to us at Targi Kielce." “We sold five machines, including premiere models.”  “We gained clients from Lithuania, Italy, Germany, the Netherlands, England and Slovakia” – 29th International Fair of Plastics and Rubber Processing results translate into a concrete opening to new markets. The four-day event, which ended on Friday, 23 May, brought together 600 exhibitors from 30 countries and nearly 15,000 visitors.   

Plastpol strengthened its market position as the largest industry event in Central Europe and one of the most important in the world. For four days, Targi Kielce’s show was the presentation arena for machines, technologies, raw materials and services for plastics and rubber processing. Nearly 15,000 visitors learned about the offers of 600 companies from 30 countries;  visitors and exhibitors come from all over the world – North America, through Spain, Germany, Hungary, the Middle East, to India, China and Japan. – “Professional, business-insider visitor” are the key words, says Kamil Perz, Plastpol project director. Representatives of many industries, from household appliances, automotive and construction, to packaging, talked about specific projects, he points out.

Premiere presentations and investments powered by Plastpol   

plastpol-2025-02.jpg [174.12 KB] PLASTPOL is Europe's runner-up in the ranking of the most important events in this line of business. It hasn't been a national event for a long time, and the event is truly international. Customers from Lithuania, Ukraine, Serbia, and Estonia join the trade show… We have sold machines to companies in Germany and Ukraine that are short of hands to work. Our technology meets these needs, says Jan Muehsam, president of MUEHSAM Industrial Solutions.

Representatives of companies  Prema, TOYO, Campetella Robotic Centre, Dopak, Ekochem, Mapro Polska, KraussMaffei, Elbi, and Britas recapitulate fruitful business discussions.  The newest machines, even those shown for the first time -  injection moulding machines, extruders, blow moulding machines, recycling machines, depalletisers, and hooding machines have found new owners.  - Several companies that planned to expand their business and include a new brand of devices decided to purchase at the Plastpol;  they chose our flagship machines, says Adam Marciniak, Sales Department Manager at Engel.

The power of relationships at Targi Kielce 

– Plastpol has its special power;  we have unsuccessfully tried to reach one of the companies that is important to us with our offer. Representatives of this company and decision-makers came to us at the expo. After months of trying to contact each other, we started focused talks in Kielce – reports Jacek Leszczyński, Marketing Director at Bole Europe. As Tomasz Jarczewski, sales manager at LS Mtron, pointed out, participation in Plastpol has two key advantages.  – The contacts established here turn into contracts after the event. Still, the talks held before Plastpol also end here. A professional expo presentation with machines in operation influences companies' investment decisions. For us, Plastpol is the icing on the cake. This is where we buttoned up previous talk-shop sessions, explains Tomasz Jarczewski. He added that promising talks were held with visitors from Poland, England, Slovakia and Lithuania. 

Granulates and recyclates presented in Targi Kielce

plastpol-2025-03.jpg [103.26 KB] - Not only were machines in demand, but raw materials generated business, including natural ones, dyes, additives, and regranulates. Brenntag, Polimarky, Anwil, Plastpolan, Lyondellbasell, Begra, Akpol Recykling, Kraiburg TPE, Mol Group, as well as the Chinese KINGFA and Hungarian INNO-COMP, which also debuted at the trade fair, confirm the effectiveness of the talks.  – We enjoyed positive feedback from prospective customers;  they expect cooperation when we open the factory, which is being built in Poland – said Adrian Pietkiewicz from KINGFA.

Izabela Kotowicz, Operations Director at Bedeko, pays attention to productivity and the number of conversations.  - This is a good expo for us;  we didn't expect that we would acquire so many new customers. He emphasises this year that many people keep calling into our expo stand. The new prospective clients of GM Colours include companies from Lithuania, Italy, Germany, the Netherlands and Poland. Krzysztof Nowosielski, commercial director at ML Polyolefins, also considers the company’s participation in Plastpol a success. - We have had many fruitful meetings and finalised talks with companies from Central Europe – he says. 

Beata Bęben from Grupa Azoty emphasises that Plastpol is a business platform that allows us to learn about customer expectations and discuss the industry's condition.

The world is changing very rapidly, and the plastics industry is under enormous pressure from changing legislation, operating philosophy, and EU regulations. Robert Przybylski, president of Plastoplan Polska, emphasises that they can discuss these topics here at Plastpol.
