On December 30, 2020, Messe Düsseldorf and the Colombian trade fair company Corferias signed a contract with the plastics association Acoplásticos (Bogota / Colombia; www.acoplasticos.org) on a future collaboration on the plastics exhibition “Colombiaplast”. Through its subsidiary, Messe Düsseldorf North America (Chicago, USA), Messe Düsseldorf, like Corferias, has a one-third stake in “Colombiaplast”. A third remains in the possession of Acoplásticos.
The event, which is organized every three years, with 172 exhibitors, is one of the most important international trade fairs for the plastics, rubber, petrochemical and packaging industries in Latin America. In conjunction with the significantly larger “FIB – International Industrial Fair of Bogota” (around 700 exhibitors), which took place at the same time, it counted around 43,000 visitors in 2018. The next edition of “Colombiaplast” is planned for June 22nd to 25th, 2021.
