As Francois Truffaut once remarked, “It is impossible to overtake someone, if you
merely follow in their footsteps.”
The future lies in the niches for in the medium- and long-term, sufficient margins
from standard applications will no longer be possible in high-wage countries.
Therefore, an appropriate niche policy has become a question of corporate survival.
In line with this motto, this Plastics Cluster conference is directed towards all those
looking for future success in plastics.
The nucleus of niche management is formed by a clear strategic orientation of the
company aimed at the creation of market niches and the securing of high profitability.
While bulk volumes have to be achieved in the commodity sector, the serving of
market niches allows the attainment of sizeable profit margins. Precisely SMEs
have especially good chances of achieving market leadership through specialisation
and intelligent innovation. In the past few years, new applications have proved
to be a special source of growth impetus and there can be no doubt that with
customised, special polymers for specific segments, it is possible to secure longterm
company profits.
Content of the Event
Internationally successful experts will report on the latest plastics developments
and trends, as well as processing possibilities and innovative applications. Or, in
other words, which material developments and modifications are in the pipeline.
In addition, information will be provided as to the characteristics that can be
attained with functional additives. The conference will be rounded off by a review
of applications with customised raw materials such as fluoropolymers, duroplasts
or nanocomposites. You will receive answers concerning the characteristic profiles,
processing behaviour and areas of application for these niche materials.
Target group
This conference is directed towards all innovators and decision-makers from
development, production, marketing and quality management departments in
plastics processing companies and for specialist services suppliers.
