Equiplast Barcelona

The Equiplast is an internationally recognized trade fair for plastics technology and processing, taking place triennially at the Fira de Barcelona. This event is organized by the Fira de Barcelona, one of the largest and most modern trade fair organizations in Europe, boasting excellent transport connections and infrastructure. Plastics manufacturing and processing involves a variety of techniques and processes used to create diverse products from plastic materials. The unique aspect of these processes lies in their diversity and flexibility – plastics can be molded into almost any shape and used for an incredibly wide range of applications.

The manufacture of plastics, often referred to as polymerization, involves chemical processes that combine monomers (simple molecules) into long chains known as polymers. Different types of plastics can be produced through various polymerization processes, including addition polymerization and condensation polymerization. Plastics processing includes a range of methods that convert manufactured plastics into usable products, encompassing processes such as extrusion, injection molding, blow molding, thermoforming, and more. These methods can produce a variety of products, from simple containers to complex parts for automotive or electronic applications. 3D printing, also known as additive manufacturing, has revolutionized plastics processing, offering numerous advantages over traditional manufacturing methods. The primary focus of the fair includes plastic production, processing, design, and recycling. Highlights consist of the presentation of new technologies, networking events, and expert lectures. Equiplast holds significant importance for the sector as it provides an overview of current trends and fosters opportunities for exchange between experts. By attracting a broad range of exhibitors and visitors, Equiplast significantly contributes to strengthening and advancing the plastics industry.

The Equiplast will take place on 4 days from Tuesday, 02. June to Friday, 05. June 2026 in Barcelona.
