Yekaterinburg, July 9, 2026 – The Indonesian Olefin, Aromatic, and Plastics Industry Association (INAPLAS) participated in the INNOPROM 2026 international industrial exhibition in Russia.
As part of the national delegation representing Indonesia as the Official Partner Country, INAPLAS joined a panel discussion focusing on petrochemical and ceramic value chains for the ASEAN and EAEU markets. During the session, the association highlighted the critical need for strategic cooperation between Russian raw material (feedstock) suppliers and Indonesia's plastic manufacturing sector. This collaborative approach is seen as a vital step toward securing energy and chemical supply chains amid shifting global geopolitical uncertainties.According to INAPLAS management, this partnership extends beyond expanding bilateral trade to unlocking significant opportunities for high-value technology transfer. Integrating the petrochemical value chain is expected to boost the efficiency and global competitiveness of Indonesian plastic derivative products. This active engagement directly supports the Indonesian Ministry of Industry's goal to leverage INNOPROM 2026 as a catalyst for global industrial investment. With manufacturing remaining the primary driver of national economic growth, a stable supply of Russian raw materials is projected to accelerate the momentum of industrial downstreaming in the country.
