The International Fair of Plastics and Rubber Processing, Plastpol, is one of the most important industry events in Europe. Every year in May, approximately 600 companies from 30 countries present their offers to thousands of industry visitors at Targi Kielce. This is where technology premieres take place, international agreements are signed, and supply chains are created. The 30th expo will take place from May 19 to 22, 2026. The event promises to be genuinely impressive.
Plastpol is a leading platform in this part of Europe, presenting the full chain of plastics and rubber processing. The next expo will be special – we celebrate the expo anniversary!
Over 30 years, Plastpol has evolved from a trade fair of national importance to one of the most important industry events in Europe, attracting 600 to 800 exhibitors from around 30 countries and thousands of professionals from various sectors using plastics. This is the meeting platform for companies and professionals from Europe, Asia, the Middle East, and North America that influences the development of the international industry.
Plastpol is not just an exhibition – it is also a hub for discussions on the future of the plastics industry. During the fair, the annual meeting organized by the Plastics Europe Polska Foundation takes place, serving as a forum to debate industry development in the context of the circular economy, recycling, and ecological transformation. Experts and company representatives analyze the latest regulations and trends in the European market.
Held during the PLASTPOL trade fair, OMNIPLAST is a popular competition that tests knowledge in the field of plastics processing technology. Participants compete for attractive prizes, and the event attracts specialists and young engineers from all over Poland. It combines education, competition, and fun — all in a professional industry atmosphere.
A highlight of PLASTPOL is the annual PLASTECH-INFO conference, bringing together experts, scientists, and industry leaders. The event explores cutting-edge technologies, automation, and sustainable practices in plastics processing, creating a vibrant platform for knowledge exchange and inspiring collaboration between industry and research.

Over three decades, Plastpol has undergone a profound transformation. Ulrich Reifenhäuser, long-standing CSO, discusses the significance for the processing industry in Central Europe.
The first International Trade Fair for Plastics and Rubber Processing was a three-day show on 23, 24, and 25 October 1997 and occupied one hall. Plastpol was a showcase for 50 exhibitors from 10 countries, including Poland, Germany, Italy, Denmark, Sweden, Belgium, Switzerland, and France.

We were one of several companies that co-founded the Plastpol trade fair. Back then, 30 years ago, it was the first professional trade fair in Poland. Today, Plastpol is the fourth largest plastics industry trade fair in Europe. There is nothing like it in this part of the continent. Plastpol is becoming the natural hub of the area.
For the Reifenhauser Company, Plastpol is the most important trade fair event in the plastics processing industry in Poland, which is clearly having an increasingly significant impact on markets in Central and Eastern Europe, where we see a dynamic development of the plastics industry. For the Reifenhäuser Group, Plastpol is a place to present the latest technologies and a platform for direct meetings with customers. As always, they expect us to present technical and technological innovations, and we try to live up to this.
Plastpol is one of the most important trade fairs for this industry in Europe. Its scale is truly international. Here we meet clients from countries such as Lithuania, Serbia, and Estonia, and we showcase cutting-edge technologies for the first time. We have sold machines to companies in Germany and Ukraine — the latter facing a labor shortage, which our technology helps to address.
