MUNICH--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Over 250 key professionals from across the global elastomers industry will come together in Munich, Germany from 28 – 29 November to attend this year’s renowned Silicone Elastomers and Thermoplastic Elastomers World Summits.
Over the years there have been a number of new developments across both the silicone elastomers and thermoplastic elastomers industries, driven by increasing performance requirements across various sectors; from automotive and healthcare to consumer and industrial applications. With so many important developments, it’s vital for all areas of the supply chain to stay up-to-date with what’s happening in the industry and get ahead of the competition. This is why so many industry experts come together to attend this yearly gathering, known widely as the ‘home’ of the elastomers industry.
The organisers, Smithers Rapra have put together a comprehensive programme for each summit this year, covering the full scope of the global elastomers industry and providing valuable information on these developments and initiatives, as well as delivering an insightful forecast into the future. Sessions include advanced research and development updates, additives, the view of the OEM, materials; biomaterials and renewables, TPEs and their properties and much more.
Described as an “Excellent opportunity for networking and improvement of market and technology knowledge” by OCSiAl, both summits offer delegates the opportunity to gain the knowledge to boost their business, increase profit, meet new industry contacts, build business relationships and develop an increased understanding of customers’ needs. Not only that, by purchasing one ticket to their preferred event, delegates will gain full and unfiltered access to the other event as desired, providing double the content and double the ROI.
