The Compounding World Expo and Plastics Recycling World Exhibition sold out of available stand space last week with a late rush of bookings from a variety of machinery and materials suppliers.

The two new exhibitions will take place at Messe Essen in Germany next week on 27-28 June 2018. They will feature a total of 189 stands across two halls at the state-of-art exhibition facility, which is located just 20 minutes from Dusseldorf airport.

“We have been delighted by the industry response to these new launches,” said Rita Andrews, head of exhibitions at AMI. “The concept of these cost-effective, focused and free-to-attend exhibitions has been enthusiastically received by exhibitors from around the world, ranging from small start-ups through to the largest players in the market”.

Companies that will be exhibiting at the Compounding World Expo include BASF, Borealis, Buss, Cabot, Coperion, Evonik, Leistritz, Maag, and Solvay. Exhibitors at the Plastics Recycling World Exhibition include Bühler, Dow, ExxonMobil, Gneuss, NGR, Starlinger, and Veolia.

In addition to the 189 exhibitors, the two exhibitions will boast three free-to-attend conference theatres hosting technical presentations, training seminars and industry debates. The first day of the event will conclude with the World Cup football match between Germany and South Korea on the big screen, followed by a networking party for exhibitors and attendees in the lakeside beer garden.
