NEWS NPE 2018 draws 56,000 visitors
More than 56,000 visitors from 19,000 different companies attended NPE 2018, North America’s biggest plastics trade show that took place in Orlando, Florida, in May. The figure was 1.7% up
on the previous NPE in 2015 and a record for the third NPE show event at the Florida location, according to organiser The Plastics Industry Association. The organisation had
previously set a target of 65,000 but said external analysis showed 2015 attendance had inadvert- ently been overstated. The show also set
exhibitor records, with 2,174 NPE 2018 brought the plastics industry to Orlando in numbers
exhibitor companies taking some 111,000m2
of floor
space, said the organisation. NPE 2018 undoubtedly benefited from the strength of the US economy, with demand for floor space outstripping availability. “We sold out our exhibit floor nearly 14 months in
advance of the show and worked diligently to accommodate the compa- nies who were unable to secure space during our Space Draw,” said Plastics Industry Association president and CEO William R Carteaux. The organisers had
opened up additional areas within the Orange County Convention Centre to create more exhibition space and some of those lacked footfall during the week. However, most exhibitors reported high, and in some cases record, levels of visitors. �
