LETTER FROM THE EDITOR


All set for a packed 2018


Time flies when you are having fun. Compounding World still feels like an exciting new venture for us at AMI, so it’s hard to believe that it will reach its 10th


birthday later this year. And we will be


celebrating that landmark in style with our busiest year ever. One of the undoubted highlights for us in 2018 will be our Compounding World Expo, the first ever focused exhibition for the plastics com- pounding industry. We have a great show lined up for you at Messe Essen in Germany on 27-28 June. More than 80% of the stands have already been booked and the rest are selling fast – there will be well over 120 leading suppliers for you to visit. It’s more than a show, though. The Compound-


ing World Expo also includes a packed conference programme running across two separate theatres and we already have an impressive line-up of speakers to cover the latest technology, business and market developments. What’s more, admis- sion to both the exhibition and conferences is completely free-of-charge. We have more informa- tion on the event and how to register for your free place on page 14 of this issue. For our readers in the Americas, we also want


to share the exciting news that we will be bringing the Compounding World Expo to Cleveland, Ohio, in May 2019. Booths went on sale for that last month and are already being snapped up by leading suppliers. Read more about our plans for our new US event on page 10. And over in Asia, we are moving our Com- pounding World Asia conference to Bangkok in


www.compoundingworld.com


Thailand for the first time this year and look forward to seeing many of our Asian readers there on 27-28 September. Full details, including the call-for-pa- pers, can be found at http://bit.ly/CWAsia18. 2018 is also a busy year for major plastics


exhibitions and we will be exhibiting along with our sister magazines and AMI colleagues at NPE in Orlando, Chinaplas in Shanghai, and Fakuma in Friedrichshafen. So please drop by our stands to say hello if you’re at any of these events. Compounding World will publish previews and


reviews of these three exhibitions, plus Milan’s Plast show, bringing you all the relevant news from around the world. Our full-line up of features and reports for 2018 is included in the new Com- pounding World media pack, which also includes details of our growing global readership and can be downloaded at http://bit.ly/CWMP2018. We are proud of what we – with your support – have achieved at Compounding World in our first 10 years and pleased to be able to share our plans for the future with you. We sincerely hope you will want to continue to play a part in them and look forward to delivering the essential information and network-building opportunities you will need to make your business a success, whether that is via our digital magazine, confer- ences or exhibitions.
