The exhibitors come from Algeria, Austria, China, Egypt, France, Germany, Greece, India, Italy, Poland, Portugal, Saudi Arabia, Spain, Switzerland, Tunisia, Turkey, the United Arab Emirates and the United States of America.
The 8th edition of this international trade fair & conference for the plastprintpack industry takes place at the CIC Abdelatif Rahal International Conference Centre in Algiers.
printpack alger is being organised by fairtrade biannually since 2008, the event has once again been prominently reinforced on the organiser side with Messe Duesseldorf joining in 2017.
According to the Mechanical Engineering Association VDMA, Algeria is one of Africa's & the Middle East's largest investors in printing and packaging technology. These technology imports enable Algeria to develop and diversify its own production, increase exports and substitute imports of consumables.
Against this background, printpack alger 2022 plays an important role in raising awareness of environmentally friendly materials and packaging among the Algerian public and making the public increasingly familiar with circular economy.
During the accompanying conference, experts from Algerian government institutions and the private sector will discuss with international experts and exhibitors on "Recycling of plastics and packaging materials - Algeria on the way to the circular economy".

“We are proud that since 2010 printpack & plast alger has been embraced by leading technology and raw material suppliers from around the globe as their most important business platform in the region”, says Martin März, fairtrade founder and managing partner.
“And we thank the Algerian government as well as Algerian, Maghreb, European, Middle Eastern and Asian embassies, institutions and associations for their unmitigated and ongoing support.”
Sabine Geldermann, Director drupa and Global Head Print Technologies with Messe Duesseldorf points out: “According to the German Engineering Association VDMA, Algeria’s demand for printing and paper technology is constantly increasing. Imports in this sector have almost doubled in just five years, rising from 57 million euros in 2016 to 101 million euros in 2020, making Algeria, one of the two largest importers of printing and paper technology in Africa, along with Egypt.
The most important supplier countries are Germany, Italy, China, France, Switzerland, Spain, Netherlands, Turkey, UK, Belgium, USA and Austria.”
Again, according to VDMA, Algeria’s investments in packaging technology reached 136 million euros in 2020. This places Algeria in fourth position on the African continent. Italy, Germany, France, Spain, China, Turkey and Austria are Algeria's main suppliers.
