Since 2008 the German trade show specialists fairtrade organize  the  plast  &  printpack  alger  in  Algiers  bi-annually. Now Messe Düsseldorf enters into cooperation as an equal partner. A corresponding agreement was reached by the end of September between Werner M. Dornscheidt, CEO of Messe Düsseldorf,  and  Martin  März,  fairtrade's  founder  and Managing Partner.

plast  &   printpack  alger:   One   of   the   most   important industry platforms in  Africa

"Algeria   is   among   the   four   largest   economies   in   Africa, together with South Africa, Nigeria and Egypt" outlines Dornscheidt." “In terms of technology imports in the fields of plastic, printing and packaging, the 41 million strong country is even among the top 3. As such Algeria and the plast & printpack alger perfectly fit into the portfolio of Messe Düsseldorf around K, drupa and interpack, an important step to expand our activities in this region. The plast & printpack alger  has  grown  steadily  in  recent  years,  to  4,360  trade visitors (+ 41%) and 166 exhibitors from 22 countries and is now one of the most important industry platforms in Africa.”
Algeria  is  the  fourth  largest  gas  exporter  and  sixteenth- largest   oil   exporter   in   the   world   and   counts   for   foreign exchange reserves in the amount of 156 billion dollars. Currently,   many   well-known   car   manufacturers   decide   to build  plants  in  Algeria,  a  significant  development  for  the plastics industry. The manufacturers include Fiat Iveco, Hyundai, Nissan, PSA Peugeot-Citroen and Volkswagen. They all follow Renault producing in Algeria already since the end of 2014.

Algeria is  investing $  260  billion in  the  modernization of infrastructure and  in the  further industrialization

The industrialization of Algeria also raises März: "As part of the five-year program from 2015 to 2019, the Algerian government is currently investing $ 260 billion in the modernization of infrastructure and the further industrialization. The expansion of the automotive, food, packaging and plastics industry is thereby given the highest priority. After we operate now in Algeria for fifteen years, we have  good  market  knowledge.  Combined  with  the  expertise of  Messe  Düsseldorf in  plast, print  and  pack  we  can  create
 interesting synergies to drive the growth of the show successfully together. We look forward to working with Messe Düsseldorf. "

The next plast & printpack alger takes place in March 2018 in Algiers and is then jointly organized by fairtrade and Messe Düsseldorf.
