Plastics Industry Association opens registration for NPE2021

The Plastics Industry Association (Plastics), Washington, has announced that registration is open for NPE2021.

The event, which is scheduled for May 17-21, 2021, at the Orange County Convention Center (OCCC) in Orlando, Florida, will have more than 2,100 exhibitors across 13 technology zones, which include 3D/4D printing, bottling, robotics and automation and flexible and rigid packaging.

“NPE2021 is the premier event for all sectors of the plastic industry to network, exchange ideas and see the latest innovations molding the future of plastics,” President and CEO of Plastics Tony Radoszewski says. “Attendees will be able to learn about emerging plastics trends; purchase the latest machinery, materials and equipment that are revolutionizing manufacturing; and connect with industry leaders.

“Given the challenges of the past six months, it is vitally important for the plastics community to come together and support each other with a positive outlook to the future,” Radoszewski adds. “NPE2021 will be the place not only to highlight key contributions in the world’s response to the coronavirus but also to see what’s coming from businesses across an industry that will transform tomorrow.”

NPE2021 will highlight how the plastics industry has help in the fight against COVID-19, both by transforming manufacturing processes and redesigning supply chain operations that deliver personal protective equipment to health care workers.

"Even in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic, we have seen overwhelming interest and enthusiasm by exhibitors reserving their show floor spaces,” Susan Krys, Plastics’ vice president of trade shows, says. “That’s a clear indicator that companies are looking to NPE2021 to be the platform that will enable them to drive their businesses forward. Their confidence in NPE providing them with that important marketplace speaks to the strength of the show and the role it will play in their future success.”
