The Indonesian International Plastics, Packaging and Printing Exhibition will be moved to the second half of the year and will take place from 11–14 August. As Indonesia’s leading all-in-one exhibition focusing on innovative technologies and solutions from the co-related plastics, packaging and printing sectors, the venue for Indoplas, Indopack and Indoprint remains unchanged at Jakarta International Expo (JIExpo), Indonesia.

Gernot Ringling, managing director, Messe Düsseldorf Asia, said, “The international trade exhibition is recognized for its depth of products and services on the show floor, vibrant line-up of local and international conferences and seminars, and unique platform for networking. With the ongoing uncertainty surrounding Indonesia’s domestic border openings and restrictions on international travel and large-scale events, which are likely to continue in the first half of the year, we feel a reschedule was necessary in order to meet the standards of an international trade exhibition that our stakeholders have come to expect.”

“We hope that moving the exhibitions to August 2021 will give greater market confidence and optimism and give more time for international participants to make travel preparations. The August dates will also ensure better returns on investment and marketing value for exhibitors and visitors,” he added.

Rini Sumardi, director, Wahana Kemalaniaga Makmur, said, “In these evolving and dynamic times, adaptability and flexibility are key and we strongly feel that the Indonesian market will be better positioned to do business and manage large-scale events safely and successfully in the second half of the year.”

“We remain committed to meet the business needs of our industry partners, exhibitors and trade visitors, and will stay steadfast in nurturing these trusted relationships for an even more successful participation in August. We will continue to work closely with our stakeholders and are taking immediate steps to provide the required support necessary,” she added.
