Basf at Plast 2026 as a European partner for the Italian market

Through its Italian subsidiary, Basf’s participation in Plast 2026 confirms the company’s role as a globally connected European partner, with "Made in Europe" production and a stable presence in Italy.

“We are delighted to announce our presence at Plast 2026, a trade fair that symbolises the supply chains we support every day through our work”, says Filippo Sola, Senior Sales Manager – Engineering Plastics at Basf. “This decision is primarily intended to underline our closeness to the Italian market. Being present means supporting Europe’s industrial base at a time when it is facing significant challenges. Against the backdrop of a profound restructuring of the chemical industry, Basf remains committed to Europe with a long-term industrial vision, supporting its customers with reliable solutions and continuous dialogue”.

As a leading producer of engineering plastics, Basf relies on strong upstream integration and a continuous industrial presence in Europe to ensure reliable supply, safeguarding product availability even in a challenging geopolitical environment. At Plast, Basf will present its Ultramid portfolio (comprising PA and PPA grades that deliver high mechanical, thermal and durability performance for automotive, electrical and industrial applications), together with Ultradur (a PBT combining dimensional stability, ease of processing and good electrical properties, ideally suited to electrical and electronic applications and technical components). These solutions will be presented within the framework of #OurPlasticJourney, the programme through which the group supports customers in the development of innovative, sustainable and high-performance plastic solutions throughout the entire product life cycle. Particular attention will also be devoted to recycled materials and to solutions designed to improve customers’ production performance.

For the company, participation in Plast 2026 will provide an opportunity for direct engagement with the Italian market, highlighting its closeness to customers, the flexibility of its organisation and the value of its sales force in Italy.
