Saudi Plastics & Petrochem | Saudi Print & Pack

What Saudi Plastics & Petrochem | Saudi Print & Pack does

Saudi Plastics & Petrochem | Saudi Print & Pack is a dual-format B2B trade exhibition organized by REC (Riyadh Exhibition Company) and held at the Riyadh International Convention & Exhibition Center (RICEC) in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. The platform combines two specialized fairs — Saudi Plastics & Petrochem (plastics, petrochemicals, foam, and rubber machinery, products, and technology) and Saudi Print & Pack (paper, printing, and packaging innovations) — into a single co-located event under the Riyadh International Industry Week umbrella. The 22nd edition is scheduled for April 26–29, 2027, supported by SABIC as Diamond Sponsor and Advanced Petrochem as Workshop Partner, with formal partnership from Messe Düsseldorf (organizer of the global K, Interpack, and Drupa trade fairs) and under the patronage of the Saudi Ministry of Interior. The platform reports 20,550+ SQM of exhibition space, 498 exhibitors from 24 countries, and 25,598+ visitors, making it one of the largest dedicated industrial trade platforms in the Kingdom.

The business model is event-driven and transactional: revenue is generated primarily through tiered exhibition space rentals (9 to 27+ SQM, with options for inside space only or inside space with organizer stand-fitting, billed on multi-year contracts), tiered sponsorship packages (Diamond, Workshop, Media), and visitor registration through a dedicated portal. Exhibitor profiles span plastics machinery, raw materials and compounds, petrochemicals, molds and dies, rubber and foam materials, printing technologies, packaging machinery, substrates, automation, and digitalization — covering the full industrial value chain. Distribution is omnichannel: a bilingual (English/Arabic) website with direct online booking and registration, supported by seven social platforms (LinkedIn, Facebook, Instagram, X, YouTube, TikTok), Google Ads, email campaigns, ten+ trade-publication media partners (Plastech, Packtech, Techna, Eye of Riyadh, LookingPlas, Trade Arabia, Echemi, Asia Trade Hub, Blooming Global), industry-association referrals, and direct outreach by REC via email, phone, WhatsApp, and in-person visits.

Operationally, the entity is privately held under the REC organizational umbrella, headquartered at 6709 Al Ulaya – Al Muruj Dist., Unit No. 19, Riyadh 12281-2576, with 51–100 employees, and has been operating since 1990. There is no disclosed AI, software, or proprietary technology stack; the underlying "platform" is the physical exhibition venue, the recurring biennial-style event cadence, the partnership with Messe Düsseldorf, and the Saudi government patronage.

Direct peers

• Saudi Build: Long-running construction and building materials trade exhibition also organized by REC in Riyadh, providing a comparable REC event format and exhibitor model in an adjacent industrial vertical.
• ArabPlast: Leading MEA plastics and petrochemicals trade fair held in Dubai, directly competing with Saudi Plastics & Petrochem for the same regional exhibitor and visitor base in plastics, petrochemicals, and rubber machinery.
• Saudi Smart Logistics: Sister event under the same Riyadh International Industry Week umbrella organized by REC, sharing attendee base and venue with Saudi PPPP but focused on logistics and supply chain verticals.
• Gulf Print & Pack: Print and packaging trade exhibition targeting the GCC and wider Middle East, directly competing with Saudi Print & Pack for printing, packaging, and converting exhibitors in the region.
• ProPak MEA: Major Middle East & Africa processing and packaging trade exhibition (organized by dmg events), competing head-to-head with Saudi Print & Pack for packaging, printing, and processing exhibitor budgets.

Broad incumbents

• Messe Düsseldorf (K, Interpack, Drupa): Global organizer of the three flagship trade fairs (K, Interpack, Drupa) that underpin Saudi PPPP's positioning; comparable in B2B trade exhibition model and plastics/packaging/printing verticals, but with global scale across multiple geographies.
• dmg events (MEA portfolio): Large global trade show organizer running multiple MEA industrial events including ProPak MEA and The Big 5; comparable in business model (B2B trade exhibition organizer) and a direct competitive threat across packaging, construction, and industrial verticals.

Emerging players

• Plastics & Rubber Vietnam / ProPak Vietnam: Emerging regional plastics, rubber, and packaging exhibitions in Southeast Asia; partial overlap in vertical focus and event format, but primarily serving a different geography than Saudi PPPP.
• PLASTINDIA: India's flagship plastics exhibition, comparable in vertical focus (plastics machinery, raw materials, finished goods) but serving South Asian markets rather than the GCC; useful comparable for plastics exhibitor economics at scale.

Regional players

• Plast Eurasia Istanbul: Annual plastics industry trade fair in Istanbul serving the broader MEA and CIS region; competes with Saudi PPPP for Turkish, European, and Middle Eastern plastics exhibitors seeking regional reach.
