There were over 50,000 visitors, with more than 35% from outside of Italy. To ensure even bigger turnout in the future, Giorgio Colombo, president of Assocomoplast announced that the next Plast will take place Sept. 26-30, 2017. As such, this trade show will be taking place in both non-NPE and non-K Show years. Take a look at our slideshow of this year’s event.
