The Plastics Extrusion World Expo North America is returning to Cleveland, Ohio on November 13-14, 2024. This free-to-attend expo will bring together leading experts across the plastics supply chain for 2-days of innovative and informative content and exclusive networking.

The program for the extrusion conference theater has been announced and this exciting and diverse agenda will cover topics from market updates and innovations in efficient manufacturing, quality control, and sustainability to regulatory and legislative concerns. The theater will provide new insights into all aspects of sheet, pipe and tubing manufacture with technical presentations from a range of specialists. Covering topics from optimization of material extrusion from the view of specific components such as cutters, barrels, pumps and filters, advances in techniques for film extrusion, to utilization of predictive maintenance and purging techniques. There will be content to support the enhancement and innovation of all aspects of the process.

Alongside industry talks will be several interactive expert panel discussions outlining critical topics for extrusion engineering. With panelists including Advanced Drainage Systems and Valeron, as well as industry associations and legal experts from American Chemistry Council and Keller and Heckman, a breadth of views and knowledge will touch upon many important aspects of the present and future market. A panel discussing PFAS legislation and its impact on food contact materials will review the current regulations, likely changes to come, and discuss the optimal methods for ensuring compliant manufacture. Additionally, market trends and innovations will be reviewed in the Future for Plastic Pipes and Future for Plastic Packaging panels. Exploring the current challenges faced in production and potential solutions alongside key areas for growth, the panels will provide takeaways to enable thoughtful and future-forward decision making and support success.

AMI’s Plastics Extrusion World Expo North America serves as a hub for education, connection, and innovation, allowing participants to enhance and develop efficient and sustainable extrusion processes. In addition to the technical program in the theater, there are numerous opportunities to link with experts across the extrusion supply chain. The exhibition hall boasts stands from machinery suppliers, monitoring systems, additives, and more. This is the prime location to build new relationships, share ideas and collaborate on solutions to challenges in extrusion-based production.

With the Compounding World Expo, Plastics Recycling World Expo and Polymer Testing World Expo held alongside Extrusion, attendees can select sessions from any of the four conference theaters and explore over 370 exhibitors across the four specialized expos.
