Voices from the organisers
“We are proud that since 2010 plast & printpack 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.”
And Thomas Franken, Project Director K with Messe Duesseldorf adds: “When it comes to plastics technology, Algeria’s investments amounted to 126 million euros in 2022. This makes Algeria the fourth largest investor in plastics technology in Africa according to VDMA.”
Sabine Geldermann, Director drupa and Global Head Print Technologies with Messe Duesseldorf points out: “Algeria’s imports of printing and paper technology in 2022 amounted to €77 million, up from €57m in 2016. Algeria thus ranks among the largest importers of printing technology on the African continent, behind South Africa, Nigeria and Egypt, but ahead of Morocco €60m, Kenya €34m, Tunisia €25m, Ghana €17m and Ivory Coast €14m.”
Official national pavilions and valuable institutional support

Investment in technology to boost local production, export and replace imports - Algeria is the Maghreb’s major plast & printpack market. According to the German mechanical engineering association VDMA, Algeria is the Maghreb’s major plast & printpack market and one of the largest investors in plastics, printing and packaging technologies in Africa and the Middle East. These technological imports enable Algeria to develop and diversify its own production, increase its exports, and replace imports of consumables.
In this context, plast & printpack alger plays an important role in raising awareness among the Algerian public of environmentally friendly materials and packaging, and in familiarising the public with the circular economy.
plast alger 2025: For several years now, Algeria has been investing heavily in the production of plastic raw materials in order to gradually reduce its imports. Imports of plastic raw materials have risen sharply over the past 16 years, from 304 kt in 2007 to well over a thousand kt in 2023, worth more than US$2 billion. (EUROMAP) In plastics technology, Algeria's investment has risen by 55% in 2022, from €81 million in 2021 to €126 million. This makes Algeria the largest investor in plastics technology in the Maghreb and, along with Egypt, Nigeria, and South Africa, one of the leading African investors in plastics technology (VDMA).
printpack alger 2025: In the field of printing and paper technologies, demand in Algeria is constantly growing and investment in this area has risen from 57 million euros in 2016 to 101 million euros in 2020 and 77 million euros in 2021 and 2022, making Algeria, along with South Africa and Egypt, one of the three largest investors in printing and paper technologies in Africa. In terms of investment in packaging technologies, with 127 million euros in 2022, Algeria is among the leading investors in packaging technologies on the African continent, along with Nigeria, South Africa and Egypt.
