The event, held at Tehran’s International Permanent Fairground, drew
more than 700 Iranian and 67 international companies. Officials from the
National Petrochemical Company (NPC) toured exhibition stands, met with
participants and engaged with foreign visitors and media outlets.
Foreign business delegations, who had taken part in B2B meetings with
Iranian producers earlier in the week, highlighted Iran’s technical capacity
and the variety of its petrochemical products. Several said they were keen to
deepen commercial and investment cooperation.
Ebrahim Sheikh, deputy minister of industry, mine and trade, said the
large turnout of experts, engineers and visitors underscored IranPlast’s
standing as “one of the most important events to showcase the domestic petrochemical
industry’s capacities.”
The exhibition also featured workshops and technical panels. Sessions
included discussions on synthetic paper production and sustainability, as well
as the role of synthetic fibers in the textile industry, where Iranian executives
underlined polyester’s 70% share in the sector.
A string of agreements were signed during the event. They included
cooperation deals between Bank Tejarat and Persian Gulf Petrochemical
Industries Co., between the Petrochemical Special Economic Zone and Telecoms
Company of Iran, as well as multiple MoUs between Iranian firms such as Carbon
Iran, Karbunkaran, Ghadir Petrochemical and foreign traders. NPC also unveiled
a new digital platform, known as Samap, to provide technical specifications of
petrochemical products.
Despite challenging economic conditions, the exhibition’s organizers
said the strong presence of domestic producers and foreign trade delegations
signaled that Iran’s petrochemical sector remained resilient and positioned for
future growth.
