29 Extrusion International 4/2026 seven themed forums. These forums covered over 50 hot topics, including automotive, medical, packaging, antimicrobial, cables, eco-friendly PVC products and etc., promoting the sustainable development of the plastics and rubber industries through synergy. Grand Finale on CHINAPLAS Day 4 – “Decode Trends Forum" was held in the morning, covering topics of CMF Trends and Applications, Seminar on Innovation & Development for Humanoid Robots & Low-Altitude Air- craft and Unlocking Opportunities in Plastics and Rub- ber Industries. CHINAPLAS built a direct bridge between top gradu- ates and high-quality enterprises by bringing traditional campus recruitment to the industry exhibition. Under the themed of “From Products to Technol- ogy. From Technology to Products", the gallery show- cased 200+ pieces of innovative exhibits to inspire visitors, revealing the manufacturing technology be- hind the products, and connecting visitors with ideal suppliers. The factory tour spent an afternoon at Shanghai FANUC Intelligent Factory Phase III. Participants stepped into the “Super Smart Factory” of the robotics industry, experienced an immersive visit to the Smart Manufac- turing Experience Center, explored the robot simulation production line, and engaged in sharing sessions with technical experts. CHINAPLAS 2027 will be held in Shenzhen in April 13 to 16, 2027. www.ChinaplasOnline.com INTERVIEWS AT CHINAPLAS 2026 An Interview with Denny Huang, President Everplast Machinery Co. Ltd E verplast Machinery is a Taiwan- ese company with over 35 years of experience in pro le pipe and attrition net production, as well as 3D printing for pellet materials. The representative discusses the com- pany's focus on precision medical tube machines and shares insights about the current state and chal- lenges of the plastic industry in China. They also comment on the exhibition trends, noting a lack of new developments at Chinaplas 2026 compared to previous years, and highlight industry consolida- tion efforts such as mergers with German machine makers. So now we are talking to a repre- sentative for Everplast Machinery. Please tell us the speci cation of your company. Denny Heang: Everplast Machin- ery Company is located in Taiwan and we are in this eld more than 35 years. We focus on the pro le pipe and the compound and the at- trition net. And just this period of time, almost ve years, we also have a 3D printer. And the 3D printer is basically for the pellets material, not for the la - ment. And we saw our machine in more than 110 countries. So basi- cally, this is our brief introduction of our company. What new solutions do you pres- ent at Chinaplas this year? Denny Heang: We present our precision medical tube machine here. And also, such kind of medi- cal tube is growing more than other kind of products. So, this period of time, we just focus on such kind of precision medical tube machine. What is your opinion about Chi- naplas 2026 comparing last year or 2024? Denny Heang: This is a good question. Actually, I was this year in China more than two, three or four times. It's my feeling in China local market that no good, to be frankly, no good. So, but all the customers are looking for a cheaper, cheaper price. So I think this is the problem of developing the plastic industry in China. But of course, the huge market here in China still has some poten- tial, but because of the price prob- lem. So I don't think there will be a huge development. You know, and the idea is that right now, all over the world, for example, for Chinese machine makers, they are starting to merge or buy some companies, some machine makers in Germany. So anyway, I don't know what's the future for the practical indus- trial development. In last year case or even this chain car project I asked some of my friends and some of my customers is there something new during the exhibition here normally they say no so this is something I don't know it's a good or no good news. Thank you so much, anyway.
