The European Thermoforming Division of the SPE will be celebrating 20 years of excellence in serving the European Thermoforming Industry and this milestone will be marked at the 10th Thermoforming Conference to be held in Sitges (Barcelona), Spain.
The Theme of the conference will be: ‘Evolution – Thermoforming – Destination’, where we will analyze the past, present and future of thermoforming.This event is the single most important event in the thermoforming calendar and is where Europe’s leading exponents in thermoforming gravitate to network with their peers.It is an opportunity to learn of the latest technological developments within our industry through technical presentations and evaluating products and services being displayed at the Tabletop exhibitions.
The programme will provide an overview of the latest technology. Lively presentations held by an international panel of experts should stimulate lively debates about technical and commercial issues.Moreover the conference will offer a unique opportunity to meet colleagues and customers from the industry around the world.
Parallel Exhibition
The conference is to be complimented by an informative and comprehensive exhibition (Tabletop displays) of relevant latest product developments offered by a variety of leading suppliers to the thermoforming industry.
