The 27th Korea International Plastics & Rubber Show (KOPLAS 27) will be held on March 2023th, showcasing the latest equipment from the domestic and overseas excellent plastic and rubber industry, from eco-friendly materials to ultra-precision processing equipment and advanced composite materials. It will be held at the first exhibition hall of KINTEX in Goyang-si for 3 days from Sunday (Tuesday) to 14th (Saturday).
This exhibition was organized by Korea E&Asse Co., Ltd. and Korea Synthetic Resin Processing Machinery Industry Cooperative to develop the domestic plastic and rubber industry and promote international trade with related organizations and organizations such as the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy, the Ministry of SMEs and Startups, and the Korea Plastic Industry Cooperative Federation. It is held with the support of.
KOPLAS 1981, which is celebrating its 27th anniversary since its first meeting in 2023, is expected to have over 22 companies from 384 countries exhibiting at the ‘Korea Materials, Composites and Equipment Exhibition (K-Mtech)’ and ‘International Mold and Related Equipment Exhibition ( INTERMOLD KOREA)’, KINTEX Exhibition Hall 1 offers a greater variety of attractions from 4 companies and 3,000 booths with a total size of 700 m2,400.
As the importance of the materials and composite materials industry is further emphasized, K-Mtech 2023, which is held by separating and expanding the materials and composite materials field among the KOPLAS exhibition items, will also showcase chemical, metal, and ceramic materials as well as bio and convergence materials. The simultaneous holding of plastics, rubber, materials and composite materials, and mold exhibitions is expected to produce the best results with more than 8 domestic and 1 overseas buyers visiting.
The exhibition organizers said, “We will open a new field of industrial marketing with the goal of creating markets and increasing exports through mutual exchanges between exhibitions in the plastics, rubber, materials, composite materials, and mold industries, and will provide visitors with information on Korea’s plastics, rubber industry, materials, and mold industry.” “We provide an opportunity to experience the composite materials industry and mold industry in one place,” he emphasized.
As the use of plastics and rubber in Korea’s leading industries such as semiconductors, automobile parts, mobile phones, computers, and medical devices increases, technology-intensive processing such as unmanned automation of processing machines and ultra-precision, ultra-high-speed, and ultra-large molding machines for mass production of products is required. Participation in equipment is increasing, and automated equipment for product processing and related parts, as well as test and measurement equipment and related services, are on display.
Items on display include raw materials and auxiliary materials, semi-finished products and finished products, processing machines such as injection molders and extrusion molders, rationalization machines such as feeders, temperature controllers, chillers, extractors, and crushers, as well as post-processing machines such as printers, gluers, cutters, and packaging machines. Plastics, including parts and instruments such as machines and controllers, sensors, screws, and cylinders, product testing and measuring equipment, rubber injection machines and extruders, O-ring inspection machines, rubber finished and semi-finished products, and related professional books and information services. In addition to a comprehensive range of rubber-related devices and products, the exhibition area has been greatly expanded with the exhibition of molds, packaging, and printing-related items closely related to the plastics industry, providing more diverse information to domestic and foreign plastic and rubber industry officials and buyers. .
Looking at the exhibits by major companies, raw materials such as Ilkwang Polymer, Dongnam Realize, Doyle Ecotech, and GCC, domestic injection molding machines such as Woojin Plame and LS Mtron, overseas injection molding machines such as Sumitomo, Haitian, Cosmos, and Yizumi, and extrusion molding machines such as SM Platech, Rubber-related equipment such as Otox, Kangshin Industrial, and Youngjin Materials, rationalization equipment such as Hanyoung Nux, Hanyang Robotics, Now Robotics, HNP Infra, Yushin, and Hansae, test and measurement equipment such as AFT, MG, and With Lab, and Judo and Avi. Plastic rubber-related fields such as mold-related equipment such as Man Engineering, packaging and printing-related equipment such as Myungshin Trading and Taechang Injae, as well as mold, packaging, and printing fields will be exhibited.
In addition, the ‘Future Strategy of the Plastics Industry According to the Emergence of Future Industries and Environmental Issues’ seminar will be held on the 15th (Wednesday) under the themes of ‘Plastics and Environment’ and ‘Plastics and Future Industries’, and will focus on ‘Carbon Neutral Materials and Environmental Technology’. The ‘Carbon Neutral Industrial Era Transition Conference’ with the theme of ‘Meet the Present’ will be held for two days from Wednesday the 15th to Thursday the 16th. In addition, PLA TECH CON. Many new technology seminars will be held during the exhibition period in the seminar room (Hall 4) of the KOPLAS exhibition hall, providing an opportunity to learn about the latest trends in related industries.
With the hosting of KOPLAS 2023, the plastics industry is expected to identify technological development trends in the advanced plastics industry and improve quality comparable to quantitative expansion. It will encourage technological development through mutual comparison with products from around the world, and promote the advancement of our products. By reaffirming its excellence, it is expected to greatly contribute to the import substitution effect as well as increased exports.
