Compounding industry votes with its feet for new expo
The Compounding World Expo (and co-located Plastics Recycling World Exhibition) made a very successful debut earlier this summer, attracting 184 exhibitors and 4,024 visitors to Messe Essen in Germany on 27-28 June. Organised by Com- pounding World publisher AMI, the focused plastics industry expos boasted an international audience – 42% of attendees came from Germany, 50% from the rest of Europe and 8% from outside of Europe. That final group included attendees from as far afield as South Africa, Brazil, China and South Korea. “We are absolutely delighted with the response to our first exhibitions, which were very well supported by the international plastics recycling and compounding industries” said AMI’s Head of Exhibitions, Rita Andrews. “We’ve had extremely positive feedback about the Essen shows from exhibitors and visitors alike”.

Exhibitors reported large numbers of meetings with high-quality contacts on both days of the event. More than 60% of exhibitors have already reserved space for the next European versions of the shows, which will return to Messe Essen on 3-4 June 2020. Many have also booked stands at the first US versions of the Compounding World and Plastics Recycling World Expos, which will take place in Cleveland, Ohio, US, on 8-9 May 2019. Many exhibitors highlighted the focused nature
of the Compounding World Expo. “The Expo is very focused with everything key to the industry in one hall,” said Dagmar Kirchof, Marketing Manager at Leistritz Extrusionstechnik. The targeted compounding focus also helped deliver high quality visitors. “I have received more quality leads in one day of this event than a whole week at NPE,” said Bernhard Gabauer, Segment Development Manager Plastics at Bühler.
