hosted by The Plastics Industry Pipe Association of Australia (PIPA) Ozpipe XIX falls on 7 and 8 November 2019 at Dockside on Cockle Bay in Sydney. PPXX will be held on 21-23 September in 2020 at the Hotel Okura in Amsterdam, the Netherlands.
Zoran Davidovski, chair of the PPCA Organising Committee said: “Ozpipe XIX is shaping up to be an exciting technical event on the Australasian calendar for 2019. The world market for plastic pipes continues to grow exponentially by volume and by application. Significant technical and commercial developments are set to transform the global plastic pipe industry and these will have particular consequences for the Australasian region.”
Davidovski adds that speakers from the UK, the US, Belgium, China and Austria have already confirmed their attendance at Ozpipe XIX and that a call for papers will be issued this February.
The main corporate sponsors for Ozpipe XIX and PPXX are Rollepaal and Baerlocher.
“Rollepaal is one of the world's leading suppliers of pipe extrusion equipment,” Davidovski added, “and Baerlocher is a global supplier of additives to the plastic pipe industry. We are also delighted that MOL will sponsor Ozpipe XIX at Gold Level.”
MOL is a leading manufacturer of injected moulded and extruded elastomer sealing systems and rubber profiles.
