Review plast expo 09: Mission accomplished as efficient Euro-Mediterranean gateway to Africa!

2,058 registered trade visitors from 27 countries discussed business with 102 exhibitors.

plast expo 09 worked out successfully as the Euro-Mediterranean gateway to Africa as 102 exhibitors from 19 countries met and discussed business with 2,058 registered trade visitors from 27 states on 2 to 5 June 2009 at the Casablanca International Fairgrounds.

The 3rd International Plastics and Rubber Industry Exhibition for Morocco and North Africa had been held under the auspices of the Moroccan minister of industry, trade and new technologies, and was organised by the Moroccan Plastics Association AMP in cooperation with Forum 7 and fairtrade.

To internationalise the event, AMP and the Moroccan state agency for export promotion, Maroc Export, had successfully put a hosted-buyers’ program into effect. High-profile trade visitors from Algeria, Egypt, Gabon, Ivory Coast, Jordan, Mali, Mauritania, Senegal and Tunisia had been invited to discuss business with plast expo 09 exhibitors.

AMP also made successfully use of plast expo 09 by reinforcing its ties with important European plastics associations. AMP signed an agreement with the Valencia Association of Plastics Producers from Spain, and discussed further cooperation with the French plastics association Plastipolis and Assocomaplast from Italy.
