LETTER FROM THE EDITOR
In compounding? Get to Essen
Well, after many months of preparation we are very nearly there. The Compounding World Expo – the first dedicated exhibition and conference for the plastics compounding industry – makes its debut in Essen in Germany on 27-28 June. Bringing togeth- er more than 140 compounding equipment, materials and service suppliers, we think it will be an unmissable event for anyone involved in this business. What’s more, it is free-to-attend both the exhibition and all the conference sessions taking place on the show floor over the two days. Compounding World publisher AMI has built its business and reputation on its paid-for events and has applied the same high value approach to the two free conference streams that will run at the Compounding World Expo. Three free-to-attend debates will cover key issues impacting on the technical compounds, masterbatch and PVC markets. Participants in the technical compounds debate include A. Schulman Senior Vice President and General Manager EMEA Heinrich Lingnau, Albis Plastic Vice President Technical Compounds Bernd Sparenberg, Ensinger Head of Compound- ing Dr Oliver Frey, and Kingfa Sci & Tech Europe General Manager Dr Christof Krogmann. The outlook for the masterbatch industry will be
explored by Ampacet Corporation President & CEO Yves Carette, Clariant International Head of Region EMEA Norbert Merklein, Lifocolor Farben Managing Director Dr Martin Fabian, and PolyOne

benefit from its co-location with the Plastics Recycling World Exhibition. Demand for recycled content is growing fast but successfully satisfying that demand means developing plastic com- pounds that meet the technical and aesthetic requirements of polymer users. That means bridging the gap between recycling and com- pounding – something we aim to enable by bringing the leading recycling technology and compounding experts together. Visit one event or move between the two to capture the information and insight you need. On behalf of AMI and the Compounding World magazine team, I look forward to meeting you at the Compounding World Expo. See you in Essen!
