3P Pakistan 2026 exhibition opens in Lahore

Business Recorder reported that Punjab Minister for Industries and Commerce Chaudhry Shafay Hussain opened 3P Pakistan 2026 in Lahore on Thursday. The event is billed as the nation's biggest trade show for plastics, printing and packaging, and brings together 650 firms from over 30 countries. Fact Exhibitions (Pvt) Ltd. is the organiser of the three-day fair, which runs until Sept. 5.

After the opening, Hussain walked through several stalls and showed strong interest in the newer machinery on display. He credited Fact Exhibitions with bringing global industry leaders together, arguing that such gatherings lift business activity and exports. According to him, the show gives companies a platform to present modern technology, greener packaging and sustainable practices.

Hussain also said Punjab has drawn sizeable investment during the last two and a half years, with new plants being set up and existing units expanding. He added that production of Vivo handsets and chip frames will start in the province for the first time. A new industrial policy, he noted, allows industrial plots in Special Economic Zones to be leased, and industrial centres are moving to solar power.
