Organisers Tüyap Fairs and Exhibitions (Istanbul / Turkey; www.tuyap.com.tr) and Turkish plastics association Pagev (Istanbul; www.pagev.org.tr) both expressed satisfaction with the record number of visitors to the four-day event. The attendees were also increasingly international, with Plast Eurasia 2013 attracting first-time visitors from Brazil, Mongolia, the Slovak Republic and South Korea. All in all, 85.3% of the attendees were local with the remaining 14.7% travelling from abroad – roughly the same visitor mix as in 2012.
Exhibitor numbers reached new heights as well with 1,084 companies from 40 countries showing products and services at the annual event.
Plast Eurasia 2014 is scheduled for 4-7 December in Istanbul.
