Show History
Accompanying the growth of China's plastics and rubber industries for over 20 years, Chinaplas has become a distinguished meeting and business platform for these industries and has also largely contributed to their prosperous development. At present, Chinaplas is not only the largest plastics and rubber trade fair in Asia, it is also widely recognized by the industry as the 3rd most influential exhibition in the world. Its significance is surpassed only by K Fair in Germany, the world's premier plastics and rubber trade fair, and NPE in USA, the second largest plastics fair in the world.

UFI Approved Event
Chinaplas has been certified as a “UFI Approved Event” by the Global Association of the Exhibition Industry (UFI), an internationally-recognized representative body of the international trade fair sector. This endorsement further demonstrates Chinaplas' proven track record as an international event, with professional standards of exhibition and visiting services as well as quality project management.
