Find out why you should exhibit or visit PlastExpo in Casablanca: innovation, sustainability and business opportunities in emerging markets
PlastExpo is not just any event. It is an international trade fair organized every two years, and the 2025 edition — the tenth — will take place from June 23 to 26 at the Office des Foires et Expositions de Casablanca (OFEC). This event, which has become the most important in the sector in the entire MENA region (Middle East and North Africa), attracts professionals, companies and institutions from all over the world.
Behind each edition there is not only the organization of the Fédération Marocaine de Plasturgie, but also a network of international partners and a strategic investment to position Morocco as a crucial hub for the sustainable and innovative plastics industry.
Why exhibit at PlastExpo
Exhibiting at PlastExpo means direct access to the fastest growing markets in the global panorama. Morocco is today a hub between Europe, Africa and the Arab world, a rapidly expanding logistics and industrial platform.
Companies from Italy, France, Spain, India, Egypt, Qatar and Turkey — just to name a few — find in this event a concrete opportunity to present their innovations, forge new alliances and consolidate their presence in the MENA area.
The fair offers:
- a highly qualified audience with over 20,000 professional visitors expected
- over 300 exhibitors from all over the world

But exhibiting is not just a matter of business contacts. PlastExpo is also a space in which to tell the evolution of your brand in terms of environmental responsibility and ecological transition: more and more companies choose this platform to launch recycled materials, waste recovery solutions, low-impact production technologies.

The features that make PlastExpo unique
The strength of PlastExpo is not measured only in numbers, but in its identity.
Unlike the big European fairs, this event stands out for:- A strategic location: Casablanca is an industrial and port hub connected to both Europe and the rest of Africa

- The event is strongly supported by Moroccan public and private entities, which guarantee its solidity and continuity, and by growing attention from international specialized media
PlastExpo compared to other trade fairs in the sector
In the world of plastic and rubber trade fairs, each event has its own DNA. Here is how PlastExpo fits into the global panorama:
K (Düsseldorf): The world's largest trade fair for the plastics sector, it is a reference point for those looking for high-end innovations on a global scale
Plast (Milan): European reference point for the entire supply chain, highly focused on technological innovation and machinery
Fakuma (Germany): Known for the technical quality of its exhibitors and its focus on plastics processing
GreenPlast (Italy): one of the most recent fairs, entirely focused on sustainable plastics and recycling
PlastExpo (Casablanca): the main gateway to African markets, a fair that combines concrete business, institutional networking and attention to environmental sustainability
Those who participate in PlastExpo do so with the idea of exploring new markets and positioning themselves in an area where industrial growth is still in an expansive, not consolidated, phase. This makes it a valuable event for those seeking a competitive advantage in the medium and long term.

With its biennial cadence, the strategic context of Morocco and the opening towards African and Arab markets, the fair is configured as an ideal space for networking, innovating, investing.
Visiting or exhibiting in Casablanca is not just a commercial opportunity, but a real immersion in an industry that is changing its skin and seeking new ways to combine progress and environmental responsibility.
