Advertorial: TaipeiPLAS & ShoeTech Taipei 2024 kick off in September

TaipeiPLAS 2024 (Taipei International Plastics & Rubber Industry Show), a biennial event, is expected to host 400 exhibitors in 1,800 booths, achieving a 38% increase in scale compared to the 2022 edition. It will be held from 24-28 September at Taipei Nangang Exhibition Centre, Hall 1, in conjunction with ShoeTech Taipei (Taipei International Shoe Making Technology Show).

TaipeiPLAS 2024 is thrilled to welcome the return of international buyers after six-year hiatus caused by Covid-19. According to the show organiser TAITRA, as of now, visitors from over 45 countries have registered to attend, including delegation groups from India, Vietnam, Myanmar, and Algeria.

This year's TaipeiPLAS will focus on such main themes as "Innovative Materials," "Advanced Manufacturing," and "Circular Economy," embodying the latest industry trends.

The all-star exhibitor list includes machinery companies such as Chen Hsong, Chumpower, CLF, Conair, CYKF, Diing Kuen, FCS, FKI, Formosa Chemicals & Fibre, Formosa Plastics, Huarong, Igus, JSW, Lung Meng, Maguire, Moretto, Multiplas, Polystar, Siemens, Tenso, Victor Taichung, Wittmann, and YE I.

With the added three brand-new zones, “Bio, Recycled Plastics & Green Products,” “Composite Materials,” and “Adhesives & Glues”, TaipeiPLAS aims to provide a comprehensive showcase of the latest advancements in the industry, high-performance products for diverse applications, and circular economy solutions.

The applications of plastics and rubber are rather extensive, with immense potential for replacing steel, wood, and glass. Beyond that, the ongoing development of high-performance materials that are more durable, corrosion-resistant, heat-resistant, and lightweight, boosts the use of plastics and rubber in aerospace, smart mobility, healthcare, and green energy.

Notably, machinery firm Chen Hsong will introduce its self-developed all-electric liquid silicone rubber (LSR) injection moulding machine, ideal for medical, electronic, optical, and consumer products.

Besides, Igus will present its dry-tech bearings, which are created as a replacement for traditional metal bearings particularly in special and extreme environments. And the eco-friendly TPU resins from Great Eastern Resins Industrial feature high toughness, mechanical strength, bio-compatibility, and superior performance with improved environmental footprint compared with traditional materials.

In recent years, the global plastics and rubber industry has been striving for low carbon approaches. At TaipeiPLAS 2024, visitors can not only dig into the industry’s sustainable and green supply chain but gain insights from industry leaders. As a result, the “Visionary and Sustainable Development Summit,” held on September 25, will gather experts from German materials firm BASF, German machinery firm Arburg, Austrian ancillary equipment company Wittmann, Remondis, Victor Taichung, Formosa Plastics, and Eternal Materials to share their experiences in low carbon transformation.
