Among the companies represented are Haitian International LTD., KPI, POLIMAX General Trading, DistiTech, Polymer Market and other leading players in the global market.

The Plastex Qazaqstan 2025 exposition will cover the full technological cycle - from raw materials and components to finished products. Technologies and equipment for polymer processing, automation and peripherals, molds and tooling, composite materials, polyurethanes, rubber and rubber equipment, 3D printing solutions, hydraulic and pneumatic systems, as well as recycling and regeneration technologies will be presented to the attention of the professional community.

Special attention will be paid to the business program, which will serve as the content center of the exhibition and will become a platform for expert discussion of strategic directions for the development of the industry. The program will be opened on November 12 by the Plenary Session "Trends in the development of the plastic market in Kazakhstan and the main players in international commodity markets". Within the framework of which key aspects of the formation of the plastic market, issues of import substitution, prospects for increasing added value in production and the investment attractiveness of the industry will be considered. Among the invited speakers are representatives of government agencies, development institutions and major industrial companies: the Ministry of Industry and Construction, the Ministry of Energy, QazIndustry, the Damu Fund, KMG PetroChem, KPI, KAZAKHEXPORT, Polymer Market, KAZCHEMISTRY, PetroCouncil and other organizations.

The further program of the first day will continue with a foresight block, where the preliminary results of the plenary discussion will be summed up and forecasts for the development of the polymer market of Kazakhstan will be formulated, followed by the official opening ceremony of the exhibition and a VIP tour of the exposition. Then participants will be able to take part in the thematic session "Development of Local Production: the Role of Chemistry in the Automotive Industry" with the participation of Astana Motors Engineering, Allur, SIBUR, Silleno LLP, KPI and the Kazakhstan Automobile Union, aimed at developing practical solutions to increase the level of localization of production and strengthen interaction between raw material suppliers and automakers. Particular attention will be paid to improving supply chains, introducing innovative materials and mechanisms of state support within the framework of public-private partnerships. On the same day, a discussion panel "Chemistry in Construction: Challenges and Solutions" will be held, dedicated to the issues of import substitution, localization of paint and varnish production and improving efficiency in the polymer pipe sector.

The second day of the exhibition, November 13, will focus on sustainable development issues. The central event will be a practical ESG workshop from the Central Asian Institute for Environmental Research, dedicated to the development of tools to improve the environmental efficiency of production "Development of ESG taxonomy for the plastic industry of Kazakhstan: compliance with international standards", where experts will discuss the need to unify sustainability criteria and introduce international practices for assessing environmental projects. The second part, entitled "Plastic Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) as a Sustainable Production Management Tool", will reveal the importance of life cycle analysis to ensure export competitiveness and confirm the environmental responsibility of enterprises.

In addition to a rich business program, the exhibition will feature special platforms — B2B Zone by KPI, designed for negotiations and partnerships, as well as ECO ZONE, focused on promoting recycling technologies and sustainable production. Particular attention will be paid to a new initiative — Robo Zone by Astana Hub, a modern platform for the development of innovation and industrial automation in Kazakhstan. The center brings together science, business and education, promoting the implementation of advanced solutions in the field of robotics and 3D printing. The mission of Robo Zone is to form a sustainable ecosystem of industrial innovation based on R&D, prototyping and pilot implementations, aimed at increasing the competitiveness of domestic enterprises and developing the country's digital economy.

Plastex Qazaqstan 2025 is more than an exhibition. This event marks an important stage in the formation of the polymer industry in Kazakhstan. The project will contribute to the integration of domestic enterprises into international production chains, stimulate the introduction of innovations and the development of sustainable practices.
