A number of Italian manufacturers are looking to expand their business with the Chinese market as they prepare to exhibit at the upcoming Chinaplas exhibition.
Organised by Amaplast, the Italian plastics and rubber processing machinery and moulds manufacturers’ association, 60 Italian businesses will occupy a space of approximately 2,000 square metres at Chinaplas, Shanghai on 24th-27th April 2018.
In 2017, Italian exports to China for the sector were worth 135 million euros and the provision of core machinery high-tech lines that are often custom built has increased.
Amaplast says the Chinese domestic industry can neither produce the quantities nor the technological sophistication necessary to meet growing local demand, which has been further stimulated by the government directive to implement Industry 4.0 production systems.
Alessandro Grassi, Amaplast President, said: “CHINAPLAS represents the preeminent trade fair in the entire continent of Asia and the second most important in the world for the plastics and rubber industry and the significant participation of Italian companies as a collective affirms both the stature of this event and the importance of the Chinese market for our machinery manufacturers.”
Companies that will be present include AMUT, Bandera Luigi, Bausano & Figli and BG Plast Impianti.
Amaplast will feature at CHINAPLAS 2018 in Hall 2H, stand no. C63, with at least 20 other Italian companies who will be present at the stands of its agents or local branches.
