France Innovation Plasturgie (FIP), a leading trade fair for plastics, composites and rubber, initially planned for this June, is now postponed from 15-18 June 2021 in Lyon Eurexpo.

In this unprecedented pandemic and considering the decisions of the French government on the holding of professional events, the organiser (IDICE, the subsidiary of the group Infopro Digital) has taken the decision to postpone the exhibition for one year.

The decision was taken in consultation with the event’s main partner professional organisations, notably ACDI (Association des Constructeurs et Distributeurs de la Plasturgie) and the Fédération de la Plasturgie et des Composites and its member unions (Allizé Plasturgie, Plastiouest, GIPCO); as well as with the exhibitors.

This one-year postponement to a triennial show is an appropriate and secure solution to guarantee the success we all aspire to: a unifying event that our industry needs to sustain and accelerate its activity,” commented Nathalie Curvat, deputy managing director of Infopro Digital.

Between now and the show, the FIP will remain present alongside exhibitors and partners to highlight the advantages of a committed, high-tech and responsible plastics industry, and to support the sector in the recovery phase.
