PLASTEC WEST 2027 in Anaheim: Plastics Expo

PLASTEC WEST 2027 is the West Coast's plastics-focused showcase, running February 9–11 at the Anaheim Convention Center alongside the broader Informa Markets Engineering West manufacturing hub. The exhibition floor brings together hundreds of suppliers covering injection molding, extrusion, biocompatible polymers, coatings, 3D printing and mold making, giving buyers a single place to compare technologies and machinery. Beyond the expo, the event offers a conference track and show-floor education sessions designed for engineers, plant managers and R&D teams who need to solve material, tooling and processing challenges. Attendees can test-drive equipment, review new resins and compounds, and discuss specifications directly with technical representatives. Because Plastec West shares its dates and venue with MD&M West, Automation, Design & Manufacturing and Packaging, ticket holders can move across sectors — from medical-grade polymers to packaging systems — without leaving the hall. The result is one of the densest manufacturing gatherings on the West Coast, with roughly 1,700 exhibitors and 13,800+ verified attendees expected. For out-of-town visitors, downtown Anaheim and the Convention Center district offer the shortest commutes, with a wide range of hotels within walking distance of 800 W Katella Ave. Reserve early, as February dates coincide with peak demand across the Disneyland-area hotel market.
