Expoplast 2026 will feature a Brazil Pavilion with nine machinery makers

Nine Brazilian machinery and equipment manufacturers will showcase plastics-processing, printing, automation, thermal engineering and recycling technologies at Expoplast 2026 in Lima from Aug. 19-22. The group arrives with established sales in Peru and broader export reach across Latin America and other global markets.

Why it matters: - Brazil is using Expoplast 2026 in Lima to push more sales of plastics-industry machinery in Peru and the wider region. - The event gives Brazilian manufacturers a platform in a market where they already have commercial traction. - Expoplast expects more than 18,000 visitors and more than 400 domestic and international companies, which raises the value of the showcase.

What happened: - Nine Brazilian machinery and equipment makers will appear in the Brazil Pavilion at Expoplast 2026. - The show runs from Aug. 19-22 in Lima. - The participating companies already export to Peru. - Brazil Machinery Solutions, the export-promotion program run by ABIMAQ and ApexBrasil, is organizing the country’s participation. - Expoplast 2026 will take place at the Villa Complejo Ferial exhibition center and will be held alongside Eco Perú Expo, the Recycling and Waste Congress, Pack Perú Expo and the Packaging Congress.

The details: - The Brazilian group will present technologies for plastics transformation and molding, flexible-material printing and conversion, automation, thermal engineering and recycling. - The product mix includes injection molding, extrusion and thermoforming machinery. - The lineup also includes flexographic printing equipment, cutting, welding, laminating and rewinding solutions, molds, dies and tools, industrial cooling systems, auxiliary equipment and coil-handling systems. - The exhibiting companies are Eletrothermo Comércio e Indústria, G4 / BoyService Máquinas, Golden Fix Sistemas de Fixação, Lakatos Equipamentos para Embalagens, Laserflex Industrial, Mecalor Soluções em Engenharia Térmica, R&A Máquinas Flexo e Gráficas, RTK / MTF Termoformadoras and Seibt Máquinas. - Fifty-six percent of the exhibitors have more than 15 years of international market experience. - The companies export to Argentina, Chile, Paraguay, Mexico, Colombia and the U.S., and some also do business in Germany and South Africa. - ABIMAQ says exports of Brazilian machinery and accessories for the plastics industry totaled US$ 27.7 million in the first half of 2026, up 2% from US$ 27.3 million in the same period of 2025. - The exhibitors’ investment profile includes a strong focus on R&D, with 89% investing up to 10% of revenue in research and development. - Thirty-three percent of the companies maintain technology partnerships with firms in Europe, Asia or North America. - Sixty-seven percent report sustainability initiatives, including machinery designed to improve energy efficiency.

Between the lines: - The Brazil Pavilion is built around companies that already know the region’s buying patterns and service expectations. - That matters in industrial equipment, where after-sales support, customization and logistics can shape buying decisions as much as price. - The Brazilian pitch leans on four selling points the companies themselves identify: quality, durability, customization, technical support and proximity to customers. - Patrícia Gomes, ABIMAQ’s executive director of foreign trade, said the Lima focus is on expanding sales and building new business opportunities. - Gomes also said the exhibitors arrive with solid knowledge of the Peruvian market, its buyers and the needs of local industry. - Gomes said international competition now requires constant technological development and equipment adapted to increasingly specific industrial requirements.

What's next: - The Brazilian exhibitors will use the Lima fair to meet buyers and seek new contracts in Peru and neighboring markets. - Expoplast’s broader multievent setup should concentrate buyers from plastics, packaging, recycling and waste management in one place. - Brazil Machinery Solutions is likely to continue using major trade fairs as a channel for positioning Brazilian capital goods abroad.

The bottom line: - Brazil is arriving at Expoplast 2026 with an established export base, a broad technology mix and a clear bet on Peru as a growth market.
