NPE 2018

In May 2018, more than 65,000+ professionals from every spectrum of the plastics industry and its vertical markets will assemble in Orlando, Florida to discover the tools, and access the emerging technologies that are shaping the future of plastics.
 
Participants include buying teams from 100 countries and more than 23,000 unique companies, representing the full range of end-user markets—appliances, automotive, consumer products, building and construction, electronics, medical, packaging, sporting goods and more.
 
Regarded for more than 75 years as the world’s leading plastics trade show and conference, NPE is unequalled in its ability to bring the industry together. The show’s success is evident in the comprehensive presentation of game-changing materials, equipment, technology and innovation for every stage of plastics processing and distribution.
 
The 2015 event featured over 1,128,000 square feet of exhibits filled with full-scale, operating machinery and equipment, over 2,000 exhibiting companies, multiple conference programs, cutting edge technology pavilions, networking and special events, and much more.
 
Building on a highly successful show in 2015, which was the largest exhibition floor in show history, NPE anticipates even greater participation from up and down the global plastics supply chain when it returns to the popular, business-friendly city of Orlando for 2018.
 
NPE is produced by SPI: The Plastics Industry Trade Association and is the only international plastics event presented for the industry by the industry. SPI was founded in 1937 to advance the interests of the plastics industry and provide companies with a forum to address issues and identify opportunities. It has been providing support and helping to catalyze growth for more than eight decades.
