The 13th Iranplast is on the corner and will be kicked-off by Sept. 22nd in Tehran’s Permanent International Fairground. This has made the PIMI team curious that what will happen there, when a serious and still increasing sanctions are imposed in Iran.
A ten days survey shows that, for this edition of Iranplast not only the Iranian exhibitors are competing with each other for higher space rental but also there are many others who are ready to buy, even in cash, their machinery and equipment that is not so simple at present time. This is the result:
If you are a European or Chinese exhibitor participating at IRANPLAST and seating in your stand and waiting for even a bypassing visitor, don’t be surprised if you face with some merchants from other countries (specially; Afghanistan, Pakistan, Armenia and Iraq) accompanied by an Iranian that popup in your stand for a serious deal.
This is of course one the ways that several Iranian producers and investors are speaking about with each other as (at least) one of the ways that they can continue their activity, supply their spare parts, or even purchase a full production line. In other was, since Iranians never bend under pressure, they try to find risk-free tactics for both sides. Moral or immoral when the president of a super power uses his forces not only to stop a country but also their many decades’ partners.
Not sure, but we can guess that many European companies are not also happy of this economical hostage policy. The nations are free to do business and only one power can’t be allowed to make an international barrier around a country. It is many decades that the world is breaking the banners, is collapsing the borders and is integrating the nations, so, creation of such a condition for Iran is out of any humanity rules and every single Iranian is free to bypass the unilateral sanctions of the US. The PIMI gesture is based on this fact and also an independent survey.
The result of the survey says:
1- Those plastics related activities that are faced with lack of machinery or part or all of their production lines are stopped have decided to best use of Iranplast for fulfillment of their needs. Apparently this edition of Iranplast should be more crowded;
2- The lump sum of the assets, cash and credits that are ready to be spent are about 850 millions of US$, supposing that each US$ is valued at about Rls. 100.000;
3- Several known converters have signed vocal MOU’s with merchants from other neighbouring countries which belong to Mr. Nobody Company. His country is not under sanctions so he can buy anything from an international exhibition;
4- The goods are then transferred to their countries and after custom clearance is transferred to Iran. There will remain no trace to any transaction over the paperwork. The merchant then takes a commission.
So far so good till after exhibition in order to prevent from disclosing of several other intelligent ways of bypassing the sanctions. But worth to say, those traditional European exhibiting companies that have been frightened of being participate at this 13th period, may be the main looser of this regional famous exhibition.
PIMI has more to say and will.
