Indoplas, with three-in-one format, returns to the region

After a hiatus of a few years, due to the pandemic, Indonesia’s trade exhibition for machinery and production services for the plastics, printing and packaging industries will take place from 31 August to 3 September, at JI Expo, Jakarta. This edition, the first full in-person format since 2018, will see an encouraging international showcase of exhibitors from 15 countries, adds organiser Messe Düsseldorf Asia – subsidiary of Germany’s trade fair organiser, Messe Düsseldorf.

Together with local partner, PT Wahana Kemalaniaga Makmur (Wakeni), Messe Düsseldorf Asia says the 3-in-1 exhibition is targeted at manufaturers, distributors and numerous sectors across the plastics, packaging, and printing value chain. End-user application sectors such as; food, household, lifestyle goods, electronics manufacturing, automotive production and other fast-growth sectors – will also benefit from the exhibition, particularly corporate buyers facing increasing complex customisation demands; from product packaging and branding, flexible product usability to green and sustainability outcomes.

The exhibitions also come against the backdrop of Indonesia’s ongoing efforts on the ‘Making Indonesia 4.0’ industrial revolution roadmap to invigorate the manufacturing sector, where the country is on its way to reach their vision to be the world’s top ten economies by 2030. The development of the manufacturing sector in Indonesia is at the centre of this goal. Currently, manufacturing accounts for close to 20% of Indonesia’s GDP, and employs 15% of its workforce. Indonesia also aims to enhance export opportunities and become more globally competitive by focusing on five essential sectors: food and beverage, textiles and clothing, automotive, electronic, and chemical. Last year, the Ministry of Industry included two additional sectors under the 4.0 roadmap, namely pharmaceuticals and medical devices.

Exhibitors are expected to come from around the world, including Germany, Netherlands, and India, as well as from regional neighbours Singapore, Malaysia, and Vietnam, with companies such as Epson, Heidelberg, Reifanhäuser to Windmöller & Hölscher, among others.

Having established strong standing as a dynamic sourcing and innovation platform, local representation at Indoplas, Indopack and Indoprint also continues to grow with homegrown manufacturers and local distributors such as PT Namico Mitra Utama, PT Yong Chao Machinery, PT Tunas Mitra Sukses, PT. Saueressig Engraving Indonesia, PT Samafitro, and PT. Perdana Jatiputra.

Commenting on the local business community and their resilience these past couple of years, Rini Sumardi, Director, Wakeni, said: “Local businesses have been working hard to meet domestic demand during the lockdown periods and continue to reinvent themselves - we are confident the business community is looking forward to a live in-person marketplace to network and conduct business to broaden their connections and potential customer base.”

“Also, during the recovery period, businesses here have grown closer to support each other in delivering a more diversified supply chain from printing packaging to plastics packaging and ensuring machinery supply and technology solutions remain accessible to businesses that are attending to end-customers directly,” she said.

Online visitor registration is now available and open to corporate buyers, sourcing executives, to industry specialists and technical experts from Indonesia and the region.
