The 13th edition of Iranplast is on the corner. It is the most expected exhibition to answer a great question: How on earth any non-Iranian company can participate at the exhibition in a country that is under the US unilateral sanctions and not be frightened of the “US threatening penalties”? Would it really be possible, specially for Europeans, and do they their business safely? PIMI, says “YES”!
PIMI says “YES”, though the question is really serious, doubtful and makes many company owners and stake holders to think about the privileges of participating and the amount of penalties or punishments that may be imposed by “U.S.D.T“. Almost Everybody in the business world, knows about the unilateral sanctions of US over Iran and the Iranian benefits. Also everybody knows that any financial transaction may result in great headaches. So, many companies, specially those European companies who (by a huge historical business mistake) have sold their company’s shares to the Americans, guess that they should forget about Iranplast and any points that may gain. But is this the end of the story? No it is not.
The analysts, advisers and consultants of PIMI have carefully studied the case for several months and now have many positive answers for those who are in doubt. Apparently, it seems that it should be very difficult or even worthless to risk by participation at this period of Iranplast. Such a gesture is more probable for the young generation of managers who may have not read many facts of the W.W.II. They may don’t guess that a man like “Oskar Schindler” used the opportunity of the worst war in the mankind history to save his industry, fortune and employees.
In this respect and based on the studies, PIMI says yes participation at the next Iranplast might be one of the best decisions of the companies that wish to expand their business in the region. In fact, to participate at the 13th period of Iranplast, could be the decision of those ingenious people who historically know how to utilize such harsh moments are the ones that turn the history upside down on their own behalf.
To make our points clear, we have classified the non-Iranian potential companies into diverse groups in a table with several columns and rows, and we are sure that, those who are in doubt whether to say “Yes or No’ for participation, will find their positive answer at this table.
Then, if any company decides to participate, will face with another main question: “Is there any business to do?”. Once again the PIMI answer to this question is “YES”. Because, as soon as any exhibitor with any kind of exhibit will enter to Iran, the accomplishment of the mission (doing business) will be in the hands of the inventive Iranians, who for example, about 3000 of them had a trip to China in order to do business and they did it.
The Iranian plastics and rubber industry needs more than 1000 injection moulding machines from 60 to 2500 tons, about 300 extrusion lines and near 30 recycling lines for the years ahead (2020-2022) This is apart the spare parts for old machine and those that are part of the agreement of the selling companies. Processing and packaging machinery that Iran needs for production and packaging of medicines and medical equipment are part of exclusion of any sanctions. Also freedom of movements in the shapes of trips and migration are parts of human rights that have been guaranteed by the US Constitution and the UN Charter.
We will speak more about this subject in the other nights.
IranPlast will be held in Sept. 22-25, 2019 in Tehran.
