Global rigid plastics and packaging industry towards Mumbay

The 11th Injection, Blow Moulding & PET – International Summit & Exhibition (IMBM 2026) – scheduled on 30 June and 1 July in Mumbai, India, and organised by ElitePlus++ – has witnessed strong early participation from the global rigid plastics industry, reinforcing its position as the world’s largest rigid plastics and packaging platform. 

Building on the record-breaking success of the 10th IMBM 2025 edition – which welcomed more than 1,050 delegates, over 450 organizations, and more than 50 exhibitors across 10 countries – the 2026 edition arrives at a pivotal time as the rigid plastics industry accelerates investments in automation, sustainability, recycling, and next-gen processing technologies.

More than 1,000 delegates, 500 organizations, 50 exhibitors, and 60 global experts are expected from the entire rigid plastics value chain under one roof. USP is the strong participation of brand owners and recyclers. This summit is globally recognized for its strong, decision-making participation of brand owners and recyclers, making it a high-conversion business platform, not just a conference.

The two-day conference is strategically designed to deliver deep, actionable industry intelligence. The first day will focus on innovations in injection moulding, while the second day will delve into developments in blow moulding and PET technologies, providing updates on market trends, case study presentations, and process technologies, with a particular emphasis on automation and AI-enabled manufacturing. In addition, the sessions will address the most current topics, including the availability of materials and components, advancements in recycling technologies, traceability, regulatory compliance, circular economy models, and new applications in rigid packaging, PET, and moulded products.
