INTERPLAS 2020 – ALL YOU NEED TO KNOW

It’s that time of the year again, Interplas is back; it will be held in the NEC Arena, between 29th September and 1st October 2020. What is Interplas? Interplas has been the UK’s number one plastics show for over 60 years now. The show generally brings together 12,000 attendees and over 500 exhibitors from 72 countries for an event full of plastic solutions, products, manufacturing and ideas, perfect for improving the UK industry. After a surge in demand from exhibitors and attendees, the show is expanding in 2020, adding brand new features and more space to the already highly regarded event. The show will now fill two halls at the NEC for the first time in 15 years. Around 75% of the floorspace over both halls is now full, even though the event is over a year away. Important exhibitors are keen to book their space due to the success of the exhibit in previous years. The exhibition is the ideal place to gain insight into the current state of plastics technology in the United Kingdom, and to bring together like minded individuals to comment on and explore the future innovations of this tech. What’s on Over the Event? The event is filled with so many interesting exhibits and conferences for attendees. Visitors will be privy to observing moulding and forming machines in action, as well as being able to view and explore the software and technologies behind these machines. It’s a place where experts and enthusiasts alike can discuss the challenges and resolutions the industry faces. The most highly revered element of the event however, are the conferences held over the duration of the three days. These talks are held by spokespeople from the industry’s leading brands and organisations. Most of the speakers on the Main Stage are experts or thought leaders in the industry, speaking through invite only and from this, you’re sure to get value and insight into the current and future state of the UK plastics industry. These conferences, coupled with seminars, workshops and the opportunity to talk to leading experts in their field makes for a highly informative couple of days. The 2020 talks are set to discuss a number of themes, including the manufacture and supply of plastics into the automotive, packaging and medical industries, advancing plastics manufacturing in the UK, and supporting sustainability and plastics recycling.
