Plastivision trade shows, organised once in every three years since 1992 by the All India Plastics Manufacturers Association (AIPMA), will have a global touch with Plastivision Arabia - 2012 to be held in Sharjah from May 14-17 next year.

?Sharjah Expo Centre is new home for Plastivision in Middle East and African markets. The first Plastivision Arabia in UAE will be in May 2012 and Plastivision India (9th edition) will take place in December 2013, in Mumbai,? the AIPMA said.

?AIPMA has been organising Plastivision India trade shows once in every three years, since 1992. The 8th Edition of Plastivision in Mumbai in January registered new heights of success with over 1000 exhibitors from India and 17 countries spread over 55000 sq m and attracted 73000 visitors generating over USD 200 million worth business making it the world?s fifth largest plastic trade show,? it said.

The AIPMA signed a MoU with the Sharjah Chamber Of Commerce and Industry for organising the event at the Sharjah Expo Centre.

Meanwhile, the Department of Chemicals and Petrochemicals (DCPC) has extended its
support to the event subject to the condition that no financial assistance of any kind for the exhibition shall be provided by the government. (ENDS)
