Saudi Plastics & Petrochem 2025, Riyadh: booth 1B-536
The 20th edition of Saudi Plastics & Petrochem — run alongside Saudi Print & Pack — opened 12 May 2025 at the Riyadh International Convention & Exhibition Centre. Kerke was on booth 1B-536 for four days.
Quick answer
Kerke exhibited at Saudi Plastics & Petrochem 2025, the 20th edition of the Kingdom's largest plastics show, from 12 to 15 May 2025 at the Riyadh International Convention & Exhibition Centre, booth 1B-536. The show runs alongside Saudi Print & Pack, which brings the full downstream conversion industry into one hall.
What was on the stand
The stand focused on what a fast-growing conversion market actually buys:
- Cable compounds. The Gulf grid build-out keeps XLPE and HFFR compounding in demand; our two-stage KTE/SE layout meters heat-sensitive formulations without scorch.
- Filler and colour masterbatch. High CaCO3 and TiO2 loadings, with the wear package — bimetallic liners, PM screw elements — specified by material and quoted openly.
- After-sales depth. English documentation, a named engineer answering within one working day, and spare parts for standard models dispatching in 24–48 hours.
Why this market
Saudi Arabia is localising conversion capacity around its petrochemical base, and new compounding plants come with two hard requirements: lines that hold spec on abrasive fillers, and suppliers who answer when a spare part is needed. Both are structural for us. Kerke machines screws, barrels and liners in its own works — a replacement liner is a machining job, not a vendor negotiation — and every line is tested with material in Nanjing before it ships, with the run record travelling with the machine.
Riyadh was also a chance to meet processors who had bought compounding lines on price alone and were now paying for it in wear parts. The honest pitch there is simple: the wear package is visible in our quotation, sized for your material, and the parts source is the same factory that built the screw.
The questions we answered
| Question | Answer on the stand |
|---|---|
| Do you have lines already running in the region? | Yes — cable compound and masterbatch installations across the Middle East and North Africa; case studies with measured output are on the site. |
| How fast do wear parts reach Riyadh? | Standard elements, shafts and liners dispatch in 24–48 h, then air freight; fast-mover sizes are kept in production. |
| Can the line be commissioned without sending a team? | Every machine ships with the factory test record; commissioning support and English manuals are part of the scope. |
| CE and ISO documents for the project file? | CE declarations and SGS inspection ship with the machine; certificates are published on the site. |
Visit the works instead
Every machine Kerke sells is built and run in one place: screw elements, shafts and barrels are machined in our Nanjing works, gearboxes are assembled and run in for 24 hours, and every line is tested with material before it ships. If the show was busy, the better meeting is at the factory — send 25–50 kg of your material and we run it on a lab extruder in 3–7 days: pellets, running video, temperatures and output per hour.
