The launch of Compounding World Expo and Plastics Recycling World Expo in 2018 in Essen, Germany received an overwhelming positive response from the plastics industry. The co-located events created a marketplace for stakeholders from across the
supply chain to make new connections, source innovative technology and grow their business. Attendees came away from this event energised from 2 days of networking and learning.
The exhibition hosted over 180 exhibitors demonstrating their latest technology and services from every part of the plastics supply chain from raw materials to end-of-life solutions. Visitors had a combined purchasing budget of over €4.6 billion.
Exhibitors included:
The success of Leistritz Extrusionstechnik GmbH comes from an extensive knowledge of machine and process design bringing new technologies to market within a quality-oriented environment. Leistritz has been committed to plastics extrusion for more than 80 years from its headquarters in Nuremburg, Germany. The company designs and manufactures customized co-rotating twin screw extruders as well as turnkey extrusion lines for the plastics industry. Leistritz customers benefit from an extensive know-how in material processing areas such as masterbatch, compounding, laboratory and direct extrusion.
The prime discipline of Leistritz is a comprehensive know-how in providing process solutions. Knowing which machine concept and line layout is to be used calls for the necessary process engineering expertise. Leistritz satisfies this need - be it for a high-tech compounding plant or other complex plastics processing systems where the highest quality demands must be met.
