Interplast-Pack Africa Kampala

Interplast-Pack Africa is an annual international trade fair with a clear focus on plastics, packaging, and printing technologies. The name combines “Interplast” representing the plastics industry and “Pack”, symbolizing the packaging sector—two key pillars of modern production and supply chains. The exhibition provides a specialized platform for industry professionals, offering both in-depth insights and tangible business opportunities—especially for players operating in or planning to enter the African market.

The event takes place at the UMA Fairs Ground in Kampala, the capital of Uganda. Each year, it attracts trade visitors and exhibitors from across the region as well as from the international community. It is organized by MXM Exhibitions, a globally active organizer specializing in export-oriented trade shows in Africa and the Middle East. As such, Interplast-Pack Africa serves as a significant hub for international business relations.

The exhibition covers a wide thematic spectrum—from modern plastics and polymer solutions to the latest packaging technologies, innovative printing systems, and corrugated cardboard processing. The rubber industry is also represented, a sector gaining increasing economic relevance in the region. Exhibits include raw materials, finished products, machinery, recycling solutions, and process innovations—all presented at a high professional level and tailored specifically to the needs of African markets.

Interplast-Pack Africa sees itself not only as a business exchange platform but also as a driver of sustainable development. It offers space for dialogue on issues such as environmental sustainability, circular economy, and future-ready packaging concepts. These topics are particularly relevant to Uganda, which is increasingly focused on industrial modernization and sustainable value creation.

Exhibitors primarily come from the fields of plastics processing, mechanical engineering, printing technology, packaging design, chemicals, and industrial recycling. Visitors are mainly decision-makers, buyers, and developers from the food, pharmaceutical, agricultural, and consumer goods industries—sectors where innovative packaging solutions are a key factor in maintaining competitiveness.

As part of the broader Interplast-Pack exhibition series, which also takes place in Nigeria, Kenya, and Tanzania, the Kampala edition holds strategic importance for East Africa. The UMA Fairs Ground offers modern infrastructure and is easily accessible from the city center—by car, taxi, or public transport.

Interplast-Pack Africa combines innovation, industry depth, and market proximity in a compact trade fair format—making it a must-attend event for all those who wish to actively contribute to Africa’s industrial development.

The Interplast-Pack Africa in Kampala took place from Thursday, 15. May to Saturday, 17. May 2025.
