Innovation Happens Here
Interplas is the UK and Ireland's definitive plastics exhibition and conference. The entire spectrum of the industry comes to do business, network and discover the latest innovation.
In 2023 the event will be 75 years old. That's 75 years of creating a platform for the UK plastics community to connect and create business opportunities.
Interplas is renowned for hosting new machinery, new product launches, breaking news announcements and exclusive demonstrations, and we have a host of enhancements to ensure the show is relevant for the next 75 years.

Rapid News Group is the organisation behind the resurgence of Interplas. With continuing investment in key areas such as marketing, content and infrastructure we can be rightly proud of the positive impact we have had on the UK and Ireland’s plastic industry since 2011.
We will continue to strive to be the best showcase for the UK plastics industry. A celebration of the best of the sector, a gathering of the brightest people, best technology and most innovative developments.
