Dates and venue set for US moulding expo
The second Injection Molding and Design Expo is to take place in Novi, Michigan, on September 20-21, 2023. The event is organised by AMI (publisher of Compounding World) and Crain Communications and combines a free-to-attend exhibition and conference streams. The first event, which took place in
Detroit in May 2022, attracted 135 exhibitors and more than 2,000 visitors. More than 50% of those visitors came from injection moulders, OEMs and mouldmakers. “The reaction to our first expo was
very positive, with exhibitors and visitors appreciating its clear focus on injection moulding, plus its Michigan location,” said Andy Beevers, Events Director at AMI. “We’re looking forward to building on this successful debut with an even larger event in 2023.” The 2023 expo will take place at the Suburban Collection Showplace in Novi, Metro Detroit, which is the largest privately-owned expo centre in Michigan.
