PLASTPOL 2026: The plastics industry once again convened in the heart of Europe – photo gallery, part 1. halls 5 and 6
For four days, Kielce in Poland became the centre of the global plastics industry
For many international companies, PLASTPOL remains the most important gateway to the Central and Eastern European markets. The trade fair brought together manufacturers and technology suppliers from across the globe – from Europe, Asia, and the Middle East to North and South America. Visitors from all corners of the world representing a wide range of industries attended the event, including medical, packaging, food processing, automotive, electronics, household appliances, logistics, and defence sectors. Thanks to its strategic location and rapidly growing industrial sector, Poland once again demonstrated its role as the industrial heart of this part of Europe.
The exhibition halls of Targi Kielce showcased the world’s latest technologies for plastics processing. Live demonstrations featured injection moulding machines, extrusion systems, industrial robots, fully automated production lines, and advanced recycling technologies in operation. Among the products manufactured on-site were insulin pen caps, medical autoinjector components, lunchboxes, technical industrial parts, and products made from recyclates and natural materials.
