The Russian market is showing signs of movement again if the universal mood following INTERPLASTICA 2011, the International Trade Fair for Plastics & Rubber, the leading trade fair in the region, is anything to go by. The 14th INTERPLASTICA took place from 25 - 28 January 2011 and was held at the Krasnaya Presnya Expocenter in Moscow, once again in parallel to the UPAKOVKA/UPAK ITALIA trade fair for packaging technology. A sum total of around 800 exhibitors rented approximately 15,000 square metres of exhibition space.“The market appears to have bottomed out now and things seem to be gradually improving for the Russian market. Companies that took advantage of the tough spell to work on their medium and long term business development and customer relations are profiting from this in particular. INTERPLASTICA offers the ideal platform“, said Erhard Wienkamp, Member of the Management Board of Messe Düsseldorf responsible for international trade fairs.
INTERPLASTICA is organised by Messe Düsseldorf and its Russian subsidiary OOO Messe Düsseldorf Moscow. Mechanical engineers, raw material producers, manufacturers of plastic and rubber products, logistics companies and service providers all showcased their product ranges. Official national presentations from Germany, Italy, China, Austria, Taiwan, France and Portugal were part of the fair.
Of the countries represented, Germany, Russia and Italy had the largest number of exhibitors, with 135, 129 and 61 respectively. In total, exhibitors from 28 different countries were represented at INTERPLASTICA, presenting a very extensive range of products to the visitors.

Coming in at third place in the export ranking, Russia and Eastern Europe remains one of the most important markets for the German manufacturers of plastics and rubber machinery. According to figures provided by the VDMA (German Engineering Federation), Germany exported about €96.7 million worth of machinery for plastics and rubber to Russia in the first three quarters of 2011 a drop of almost 50% in comparison to the figures from the same period last year. Before the global economic crisis, sales in the region had seen years of steady growth. Bernd Nötel from the association for plastics and rubber machinery, a division of VDMA, confirmed that there are signs of a new wind.
Alessio Fineo from the Italian plastics and rubber machinery manufacturers association Assocomaplast confirmed the optimism expressed by his German counterparts – albeit somewhat more cautiously. “Although the number of Italian exhibitors has dropped in comparison to last year, the companies represented here have reported having made excellent contacts and are very satisfied. Overall, the signs show that the market is recovering, but the industries which our customers are in are too diverse to draw any general conclusions.
One sector showing very crisis-resistant development is medical products.The Russian market is also very important to the Italian manufacturers in the industry, who are the second-largest supplier of machinery to the region.
