The inaugural Plastics Live Ireland, taking place in Dublin on 26–27 November 2025, is shaping up to be a landmark event for the plastics manufacturing industries in both Ireland and the UK. Just three months out, the event is nearly sold out, with a strong roster of leading exhibitors and partners lining up to showcase their technologies and support for the sector.
Designed to serve as a platform for innovation, collaboration, and commercial opportunity, Plastics Live Ireland arrives at a pivotal time for local manufacturing. As global supply chains remain under pressure and the demand for near-shoring grows, the UK and Irish plastics sectors continue to demonstrate resilience, adaptability, and an extraordinary capacity for innovation.
“This event is not just about plastics, it’s about championing the strength and ingenuity of local manufacturing,” says Scott Colman, Event Director for Plastics Live Ireland. “We’ve seen a remarkable response to the launch of this show, which confirms what we’ve always known, the UK and Ireland plastics communities are not only alive and well, but forward-looking, globally relevant, and proud of their regional identity.”
The enthusiasm surrounding the event has translated into real momentum. With a broad cross-section of exhibitors from across the plastics value chain (including moulders, toolmakers, materials suppliers, automation specialists, and service providers) Plastics Live Ireland is already close to capacity. This early success is being viewed as a reflection of the underlying health and optimism within the sector.
“Innovation is the golden thread that connects everything at Plastics Live Ireland,” Colman continues. “Whether it’s sustainable materials, advanced moulding technologies, automation or digital manufacturing, the event provides a dedicated platform for companies to showcase how they’re not just surviving, but thriving.”
While innovation is at the heart of the event, so too is community. Plastics Live Ireland offers a fresh environment for engineers, buyers, designers, and decision-makers to engage meaningfully with their peers, suppliers, and new technologies, all under one roof. Supported by key industry associations and thought leaders, the show will also feature live demonstrations, technical content, and networking opportunities that reflect the real-world challenges and opportunities faced by manufacturers today.
“There is a real energy behind the UK and Irish plastics industries right now,” Colman says. “What we’re hearing from exhibitors and attendees alike is that they’re hungry for a show that understands the unique strength of the local ecosystem, and that’s exactly what Plastics Live Ireland delivers.”
With free visitor registration now open, industry professionals across Ireland, the UK, and beyond are encouraged to secure their place early. Whether you’re involved in medical devices, packaging, automotive, or general manufacturing, the show promises to be a powerful springboard for innovation and collaboration.
Plastics Live Ireland 2025 is more than just a trade event – it’s a celebration of the ingenuity, resilience, and strength of UK and Irish manufacturing.
