Hall 3 of the Gran Via exhibition centre will be the venue for Equiplast, the International Plastics and Rubber Exhibition organized by Fira de Barcelona, which at its eighteenth edition will be presenting the latest machinery and processes for the plastics and rubber industry with the participation of the leading national and international companies in the sector.

Equiplast will once again be a major hub for the plastics and rubber production industry, with hundreds of state-of-the-art machines on display and in full operation during the five-day event. The show will feature a broad representation of what the sector has to offer, from raw materials and additives through to machinery and equipment, automated systems, moulds and templates, and semi-finished and finished products at an edition that will highlight the importance of this industry and its influence on our everyday lives to counter the campaigns to discredit it that the industry has had to endure for years.
Furthermore, with the aim of providing business opportunities for the SMEs and micro-enterprises in the sector, Equiplast will be hosting the second edition of the Plastic Transformers Event, a dedicated subcontractors' fair aimed at companies that can offer high quality services and solutions to large national and international corporations. Organised by the Spanish Plastics Centre (CEP) and the publishing group Interempresas, this event brings considerable added value to the offering of Equiplast 2017.

As well as being the biggest commercial and promotional showcase for the sector, the trade fair will once again offer new business opportunities through its networking activities, where exhibitors can showcase their projects in order to find technical solutions and innovative products from the top suppliers in the Project Presentation arena; present their challenges to the whole chemicals industry in the Application Forum; find new partners and identify what the market really needs at the Cooperation and Innovation Lab; and access new markets in the Investment Attraction Area.
At the same time, Equiplast will offer an extensive programme of technical seminars, conferences and workshops organised by the leading associations and organisations in the plastics and rubber sector.
The next edition of Equiplast takes place on 2-6 October 2017 and will be held jointly and simultaneously with Expoquimia, Eurosurfas, In(3D)ustry From Needs to Solutions, IoT Solutions World Congress, the World Congress of Chemical Engineering and the World Chemical Summit, giving rise to the first edition of Barcelona Industry Week.
