IPF Japan

According to the organiser, IPF Japan 2026 runs for five days, from 1 to 5 December 2026, at Makuhari Messe in Chiba, about one hour from Tokyo Central Station. The organiser lists halls 1 to 8, with a gross area of 54,000 square metres.

The organiser's show profile gives show hours of 10:00 to 17:00, with the last day closing at 16:00.

The organiser says IPF Japan is held once every three years. The 2026 show is the 11th IPF Japan since 1994, and the previous edition was in 2023. The International Plastic Fair Association organises it.

The organiser groups the exhibits into twelve areas: raw materials and additives, molding machines, parts and components for machines, molding-related ancillary equipment, secondary manufacturing machines and subsidiary materials, testing, measuring and controlling equipment, mold and die equipment, recycling and waste treatment equipment, factory facilities, semi-finished and finished products, processing and manufacturing, and media and publications.

The organiser's show profile lists free entry for visitors who pre-register on the IPF Japan website and JPY 1,000 for on-site registration, valid for all five days. The organiser's news says visitor registration opened on 1 September 2026 and that advance registration is required to attend. The registration page also mentions an October start, so check the organiser's page for the current process before you travel.

The organiser publishes a seminar and exhibitor presentation programme as a PDF, plus a Featuring Composite theme, and notes that the schedule and programme are subject to change. Its site also has pages on access to Makuhari Messe with shuttle bus information, entry visas for Japan and hotel reservations.
