PLASTIC JAPAN Nagoya

PLASTIC JAPAN – Nagoya Edition is a highly specialized trade fair focused on high-performance plastics and their industrial applications. Held annually at Port Messe Nagoya, located in the heart of Japan, it forms an integral part of the renowned Highly-Functional Material Week and ranks among the most important international platforms for material innovation. The event is organized by RX Japan Ltd., a leading trade show organizer in the Asia-Pacific region, known for bringing together industry professionals from around the world — with a clear emphasis on future-oriented plastic technologies and sustainable material solutions.

The name PLASTIC JAPAN not only refers to the venue but has become an international hallmark for a trade fair that reflects the ongoing transformation of the plastics industry. Key themes include bio-based plastics, intelligent recycling technologies, and advanced processing solutions. The event covers the entire value chain of the plastics industry, with a particular focus on the demands of circular and sustainable production.

With its thematic specialization, the event is specifically tailored to professionals from key industries such as automotive, electronics, medical technology, and construction. Exhibits include innovative composite materials, performance-enhancing additives, modern manufacturing technologies such as injection molding and extrusion, and high-precision testing and measurement systems. More than just a product showcase, the fair serves as a solution-oriented platform addressing real-world industrial challenges.

The Nagoya edition stands out thanks to its close integration with other trade fairs within the Material Week, creating valuable synergies between the fields of plastics, electronics, and functional textiles. As one of several PLASTIC JAPAN events — with additional editions held in Tokyo and Osaka — the Nagoya fair places a distinct regional focus. It is situated in one of Japan’s most significant industrial regions, with direct access to production centers of leading automotive and technology companies.

PLASTIC JAPAN thus serves as a key meeting point for decision-makers, developers, and engineers who are not only looking to explore new opportunities but also to actively shape the future of the plastics industry.

The venue, Port Messe Nagoya, is a modern and conveniently located exhibition center in Japan’s third-largest metropolitan area. It is easily accessible via Chubu Centrair International Airport and public transportation, and is located close to Nagoya Port — a symbolic hub for trade, technology, and future-focused innovation.

The first edition and therefore the premiere of the PLASTIC JAPAN takes place on 3 days from Wed., 18.02.2026 to Fri., 20.02.2026 in Nagoya.
