All roads lead to Cologne
Following the success of our Compounding World Forums in the USA, Compounding World magazine and Applied Market Information (AMI) are hosting the fi rst Compounding World Congress in Cologne, Germany on 21-23 April 2015. Places are selling very fast with over 180 attendees
and more than 25 exhibitors already signed up at the time of writing, with over two months to go until the big event. Compounders that will be represented at the
conference include: A. Schulman Addiplast Akro Plastic Albis Ascend Performance Materials Barlog Plastics BASF Bayer MaterialScience Clariant Masterbatches Colloids Continental Compounders Domo Engineering Plastics DuPont Elix Polymers Ensinger Eurotec Engineering Plastics Evonik Fainplast HP Polymer Inno- Comp Invista KEP Korea Engineering Plastics Lehmann & Voss LyondellBasell Melos Mepol MLPC International Nord Color Polycompound Polykemi PolyOne Polytechs Premix Radici Romira Sirmax Sitraplas So.F.teR Solvay Engineering Plastics Styrolution Sumika Polymer Compounds Total Trinseo Ube Engineering Plastics Victrex and Wells Plastics.

expert speakers, including senior managers from leading global compounders, as well as innovative raw materials suppliers and machinery manufacturers. Last month we looked at the presentations lined up
for 22 April. These will include a panel discussion on ‘strategies for growing a profi table compounding business in an increasingly competitive global market- place’. The panel will feature four of Europe’s most infl uential leaders at international compounding operations: Holger Kronimus, vice president Europe and general manager of specialty engineered materials at PolyOne Heinrich Lingnau, vice president and general manager for EMEA at A. Schulman Bernd Sparenberg, vice president for technical compounds at Albis Dr Stefano Zocca, managing director of So.F.teR They will be followed by presentations covering
regulatory issues, functional fi llers, advanced reinforce- ments, anti-counterfeiting technologies, 3D printing materials, automotive applications, cross-linking for engineering plastics, and the rapid development of new formulations.
