In all, some 180 exhibiting companies from 20 countries are expected showcase their latest products and technologies to an estimated 8,000 trade visitors.
One key theme likely to emerge at M-PLAS is cost-effective processing solutions that do not compromise on quality. Exhibits will include a series of compounding extruders from Berstorff that can handle more than 80% of all plasticising, filling and reinforcing applications. The extruders are designed for processes that can be carried out without the need for too many types of barrel element and are thus more economical to purchase. In addition, extruder manufacturer BUSS is featuring its quantec compounding solution for PVC that is said to offer the best possible value for money for demanding applications.

Malaysian Economy Strong In Lead-Up to M-PLAS 2007
Malaysia's plastics and rubber industry welcomes M-PLAS to Kuala Lumpur 29 March to 1 April 2007 at a timely juncture -- amid a buoyant economy and renewed interest in the country as a key export-oriented manufacturing base. The Malaysian economy maintained strong growth of 5.3% in the first quarter of 2006, with even stronger growth likely in the second half of the year. In addition, growth in agriculture and manufacturing should remain firm over the next 6-9 months with a recovery in construction likely to emerge as public spending under Malaysia's new five-year plan starts to take effect. These factors will surely have a positive effect on the plastics and rubber industries.
M-PLAS 2007 will provide an ideal platform for leading international manufacturers and suppliers keen to expand their business reach to Malaysia. With the progressive business and industrial landscape, M-PLAS 2007 will provide abundant opportunities for key players to introduce cutting edge technology and solutions to processors from across the country. Some 200 international exhibiting companies from 20 countries are expected to be present. 8,000 trade visitors and buyers are expected over the 4 days of the trade fair.
M-PLAS is endorsed by the Malaysian External Trade Development Corporation, and supported by the Malaysian Plastics Manufacturers Association, Malaysian Rubber Products Manufacturers' Association and the globally acclaimed K, the world's number one trade fair for plastics and rubber.
