PLASTIC JAPAN TOKYO Chiba

PLASTIC JAPAN TOKYO is a highly specialized trade fair dedicated with exceptional precision to the latest developments, technologies, and materials in the plastics and processing industries. It is part of the renowned "Highly-Functional Material Week" and takes place annually in autumn at Makuhari Messe, a modern international exhibition center in Chiba, near Tokyo. The venue is easily accessible both domestically and internationally, thanks to its proximity to Narita International Airport and excellent public transport connections.

The event is organized by RX Japan Ltd., one of Asia’s leading trade fair organizers, recognized for its professional execution and in-depth thematic focus. Since its inception, PLASTIC JAPAN TOKYO has established itself as one of the most important industry events in Asia, attracting professionals from around the world — including developers, engineers, and decision-makers.

The exhibition focuses on raw materials, polymers, additives, and fillers, as well as machinery and equipment for plastics processing. Displays include injection molding machines, extruders, presses, peripheral equipment, and state-of-the-art polymerization systems. A central theme is sustainability: from biodegradable plastics and recycled materials to advanced recycling technologies and circular economy solutions. The concurrent Sustainable Material Expo reinforces the interdisciplinary nature of the event and highlights the importance of environmentally friendly innovations.

The fair also showcases how modern plastic composites — such as CFRP, GFRP, and hybrid materials — are integrated into lightweight solutions for industries like automotive, aerospace, and medical technology. Topics such as material analysis, quality assurance, and testing technology are also key components. The program is complemented by conferences and expert presentations offering first-hand insights into current research and industry trends.

One of PLASTIC JAPAN TOKYO’s defining features is the innovation strength of its exhibitors, who represent key sectors such as automotive, aerospace, electronics, medical technology, and packaging. Industry professionals benefit from a comprehensive overview of the latest market trends, while also finding targeted opportunities for networking, partnerships, and business development.

In addition to the Tokyo edition, a sister event is held annually in Osaka, significantly expanding the fair’s reach within Japan and providing access to both of the country’s major economic hubs.

Makuhari Messe itself offers ideal conditions for the event, with its modern infrastructure, spacious exhibition halls, and excellent transport links. With its technical depth, international significance, and strong future orientation, PLASTIC JAPAN TOKYO provides a unique platform for all those committed to shaping the future of the plastics industry.

The PLASTIC JAPAN TOKYO in Chiba took place from Wednesday, 12. November to Friday, 14. November 2025.
