Who exhibits

Typical profile

The trade show brings together "the entire Plastics Processing, Composites and Rubber sector, with qualified brands and clients": processors and subcontractors, machine manufacturers (injection, extrusion, rotomoulding, blow moulding, thermoforming, machining), producers of raw materials, additives and bio-based solutions, suppliers of moulds, peripherals and decoration solutions. Strictly professional visitor base.

The offering is structured into five complementary areas: FIP (central technology platform), FIP Transform (subcontracting and processors), FIP Valorize (solutions in support of the circular economy), FIP Decoration (decoration and finishing technologies) and FIP Materials (materials, additives and bio-based solutions).

Notable exhibitors

The list of 2026 participants remains available on the official website: f-i-p.com. No exhibitor list is yet open for 2029: the organiser invites interested companies to get in touch to receive stand offers and available locations.

Visitor quality

• In 2026, four thematic itineraries guided the visit according to the trade show's official programme: Packaging, Mobility, Aerospace and Medical. The itineraries for the 2029 edition have not been published.

Activities & community

Conference programme

The 2026 edition featured more than 30 conferences and workshops led by 80 speakers from France and abroad: practical case studies, technological advances and strategic perspectives for the plastics processing, composites and rubber industries. The programme for the 2029 edition has not yet been published.

The 2026 edition had also hosted the exhibition "Plastiquement Indispensable l'Expo", which showcased emblematic finished plastic products across several markets, including health and medical.

How the trade show has evolved

Trajectory analysis

FIP follows a triennial rhythm aligned with the years without the global K trade fair in Düsseldorf, making it the major national gathering for plastics processing between two K editions. The 2024 edition had confirmed the trade show's appeal with nearly 10,000 professional visitors and 800 exhibitors; the 2026 edition, held at Eurexpo Lyon, brought together 9,056 participants according to the report published by the organiser. The format remains the same five complementary areas, with a strong focus on the circular economy (FIP Valorize) and application markets. The next edition, still operated by Infopro Digital Trade Shows, will take place from 5 to 8 June 2029 at Eurexpo Lyon: the three-year interval gives the organiser time to finalise its offering, and an exhibitor targeting 2029 would do well to make contact well in advance for stand locations.
