The Swiss plastics industry converges in Lucerne to compare processing technologies and testing methods in January. Swiss Plastics 2026 takes place from 20 to 22 January 2026 in Lucerne and gathers manufacturers and suppliers across the value chain.
Swiss Plastics 2026 combines an exhibition with technical content and a year-round digital hub. The event programme includes a symposium with presentations and a digital channel called Swiss Plastics 365 that keeps product news and technical material available beyond the show dates.
Practical information and venue
The exhibition runs for three days at Messe Luzern. The layout accommodates machinery demonstrations and dedicated areas for technical suppliers and material testing providers. Use the venue information to schedule booth visits and technical walkthroughs.
Exhibitor profile and product focus
The confirmed exhibitor number stands at 365. Exhibitors range from system suppliers for dosing and drying to independent laboratories and component manufacturers. Names appearing on the show platform include KUMA Solution AG, motan and Quality Analysis AG, indicating a mix of process equipment, material handling and analytical services.
Programme elements and Swiss Plastics 365
A symposium delivers presentations whose slides and papers are accessible after sessions. Swiss Plastics 365 acts as a content repository and newsfeed for exhibitors and visitors, hosting product releases and case studies. That continuity supports technical follow-up and shortlists of suppliers before on-site meetings.
Commercial outreach and meeting tactics
Segment targets by process application such as injection or extrusion. Before arriving, use Swiss Plastics 365 to shortlist exhibitors and relevant presentations. Prepare technical questions linked to cycle times, material grades and test protocols to make stand conversations efficient. For procurement, request sample data sheets and testing procedures to speed internal evaluation.
