From June 21 to 24, 2026, XIFA Group proudly participated in the 21st edition of Saudi Plastics & Petrochem — the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia’s most influential international trade fair for the plastics and petrochemical industry. Held at the Riyadh International Convention & Exhibition Center (RICEC), XIFA set up at Booth 4-637, showcasing its full range of high-performance polypropylene packaging solutions to buyers and industry professionals from across the Middle East and beyond.
The saudi plastics & petrochem 2026 trade fair forms part of Riyadh International Industry Week — the largest gathering of industrial sectors in the MENA region. Now in its 21st year, the event has spent over three decades serving plastics and petrochemical industry leaders in the Kingdom and worldwide.
The 21st edition brought together government decision-makers, trade buyers, industry professionals, and top international and local plastics and petrochemical companies to network, exchange knowledge, and showcase the newest developments in machinery, technologies, goods and services.
According to official data from the organizer, Riyadh Exhibitions Company Ltd., the 2026 edition recorded impressive scale:
The event also ran concurrently with Saudi Print & Pack, combining under one roof what are recognized as three of the world’s No.1 globally leading trade fairs: K, Interpack, and Drupa.
At the saudi plastic and petrochemical exhibition, XIFA presented three core product lines specifically suited for the packaging demands of Middle Eastern agricultural, chemical, and industrial sectors.
XIFA’s FIBC bulk bags attracted strong interest from buyers sourcing large-volume packaging for fertilizers, chemicals, and raw materials. Engineered for high load-bearing capacity and fully customizable in size, loop configuration, and coating, XIFA’s FIBC solutions are designed to meet the rigorous demands of international bulk logistics.
BOPP bags were among the standout products at the booth, combining a durable woven structure with a high-quality printed laminated surface. Ideal for brands in the agriculture, food, and chemical industries looking for both functional strength and striking visual appeal, these bags drew significant attention from regional distributors and brand owners.
PP woven bags remain one of XIFA’s most versatile offerings, widely used across grain, feed, fertilizer, and construction applications. Visitors at the saudi plastics and petrochem exhibition showed particular interest in customized sizing and printing options tailored to local market requirements.
Saudi Arabia’s plastics and packaging industry is expanding rapidly, driven by the Kingdom’s Vision 2030 initiative and a growing push for industrial diversification beyond oil. The event highlighted the Kingdom’s commitment to promoting plastics, petrochemicals, printing and packaging, smart manufacturing, and smart logistics as the main pillars of the national economic diversification strategy.
