THERMOPLASTIC CONCENTRATES 2014
Template January 28-30, 2014
Ft. Lauderdale Marriott Coral Springs Golf Resort
There is no better way of positioning yourself for the future than by coming to AMI’s Thermoplastic Concentrates conference. This event has established a position as the place where the key issues facing the industry are debated and discussed in an open and thought provoking environment. This conference is well known for the high caliber of attendees, including senior executives from across the global supply chain, particularly the major concentrate production companies. At last year’s event, over $2.4 billion in concentrate sales was represented there. This accounted for two thirds of all concentrate production in the NAFTA area. Attendees have benefitted from consistently high quality papers which not only deal with new technical developments, but also include industry leaders giving real business insight into the successful management of companies in the current situation. In addition, the event gives you the opportunity to network with senior industry participants and develop new focus in your work.
This year’s event is no different, and the program for Thermoplastic Concentrates 2014 focuses on new business and technical trends in pigments, additives and machinery, which will assist the innovation of new products and customer focused solutions. The second day of the conference will also give customer and brand views on how changes in the plastics industry will impact the services they require from the concentrate industry. The final session will provide insight from leading managers of concentrate companies regarding the future direction of the industry.
Now more than ever is the time to come together with your peers and industry colleagues to discuss and exchange views to ensure that you plot the right course for the future of your business. I look forward to welcoming you again
in Coral Springs, at AMI’s Thermoplastic Concentrates 2014 conference.... FIVE GOOD REASONS WHY YOU SHOULD ATTEND:
1. Papers will give you unrivalled information on market size, growth and global trends.
