The Plastics Industry Association, organisers of the triennial tradeshow NPE, has announced that 1.2 million square feet on the exhibit floor at the Orange County Convention Centre will be occupied by exhibitors, securing 2018 as the largest NPE in its show history.
Just over one month away, the exhibits are currently tracking 75,000 square feet. To date, 2,150 exhibitors have secured space to showcase the plastics industry’s most innovative products and technologies.
Susan Krys, Vice-President of tradeshows at PLASTICS, said: “We are thrilled to announce that our exhibit floor is in such high demand that we’re already breaking show-defining records. And we’re still providing exhibitors the space they’re seeking to showcase their companies and products at the world’s premier plastics show, so our numbers will continue to grow. We predict that this pre-show momentum will continue, making NPE2018: The Plastics Show one of the largest industry gatherings ever.”
