The launch of the “Spotlight on Malaysia: Buyer Program” represents a significant milestone in this collaboration. This initiative is expected to intensify the appeal to international visitors and further establish CHINAPLAS as an iconic trade show for the global plastics and rubber industries. The partnership between Adsale and MPMA is poised to deliver substantial benefits for both parties and the industry as a whole.
