May 10-PLASTEX 2010, the 12th international African-Arabian exhibition for plastic industries, is set to commence at the Cairo International Fair Ground in Egypt on May 13. Around 600 exhibitors from 29 countries and more than 25,000 visitors from the MENA region are expected to attend the event that concludes on May 16.

Since its debut in 1993, PLASTEX has emerged as the MENA markets' largest plastics trade fair. This year's event will welcome visitors from Libya, Sudan, Iraq, Tunisia, Algeria, Syria, Morocco, Bahrain, Jordan, Kuwait, Lebanon, Oman, Palestine, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Sudan, UAE and Yemen, while China, Turkey, Italy, India and Taiwan will host pavilions. A wide range of machineries and equipment, raw materials, semi-finished products, technical parts, reinforced plastics, and services for the plastic industries will be showcased within 27,000 square metres of exhibition space throughout the four-day show. PLASTEX 2010 will also host the third edition of EGYPLAST, a special sub-event running parallel to the main show which will provide Arab-African businesses and investors with the opportunity to interact face-to-face with Egypt's top plastics manufacturers and end-product exporters.
