Why exhibit?

Interplas is an industry success story, with expansion in exhibitor space, increasing visitor numbers and more features year on year. The show is the leading UK plastics trade event, and the only one to showcase the entire spectrum of moulding and forming machines in action as well as materials, automation, contract manufacturing and supporting technologies including software, testing, inspection, surface treatments and much more.

GENERATE LEADS: With more than 14,000 buyers expected in one place in 2021, Interplas gives you a shortcut to relevant and interested leads in just three days, work that would take your sales team months or years to achieve. Let us bring the buyers to you.

DEVELOP NEW PROJECTS AND BUSINESS RELATIONSHIPS: Interplas attracts a huge number of attendees that can become new customers, but your fellow exhibitors can also become a valuable source of collaborative projects and potential partners along the supply chain, driving new revenues and opportunities.

SEE, TOUCH, FEEL: Putting a product in a person’s hand is one step closer to them becoming a customer. Visitors who encounter you at a show will think your brand, product or service is more innovative than they did before they attended (Source: Power of Live, Cog Research –FaceTime).

GAIN MARKET SHARE: Exhibiting at the key plastics show in the UK and Ireland ensures you are in place to have conversations with people from multiple vertical industries at various stages of the product and purchasing cycle. Make sure your team is there to have the conversation; if you don’t speak to them at Interplas, your competitors will.
