The 8th edition of plast & printpack alger: key business platform for presenting sustainable solutions
Algeria is the second largest importer of plastics in primary forms in Africa & the Middle East (EUROMAP) and the largest investor in plastics and packaging technology in the Maghreb and one of the largest in Africa (VDMA).
