A Hong Kong-based machinery manufacturer is seeking to expand its role in Iran’s automotive sector by supplying equipment for polymer production, the company’s sales director said.
Johnson Dai, international sales director at Dekuma, made the remark while visiting IranPlast 2025, adding his company’s operations in Iran are focused on automotive industry.
“Our machinery includes plastic pipes extrusion lines, rubber injection molding, hydraulic presses, and equipment for decorating and printing PET bottles and containers,” Dai said.
He added that Dekuma’s technology supports the production of plastic materials used in vehicle manufacturing.
Dai also noted that the company is visiting IranPlast for the fourth time, adding, “It is currently working with one of Iran’s largest plastic suppliers to the auto industry. Additional partnerships began last year.”
“Iran’s automotive sector has considerable potential,” he said, stating, “We are ready to expand cooperation with Iranian companies, provided that payment procedures and import approvals are facilitated.”
Dekuma was initially a joint venture between Germany and Hong Kong. Following the acquisition of the German stake, the company is now fully Hong Kong-owned, with headquarters in Hong Kong and manufacturing facilities in southern China.
Iran’s 19th International Exhibition of Raw Material, Plastics, Rubber, Machinery and Equipment, known as IranPlast 2025, kicked off on September 8 in Tehran and will run to September 11.
The event was inaugurated by Hassan Abbaszadeh, CEO of Iran’s National Petrochemical Company (NPC), alongside senior officials from Iran’s oil and petrochemical sectors.
