NPE to highlight new innovations
The NPE exhibition, to take place from 22-26 June 2009 at Chicago's McCormick Place in the US, will have a new highlight. The so-called New Technology Pavilion will spotlight exhibiting companies' innovative advancements, said The Society of the Plastics Industry (SPI), the founder and producer of the triennial NPE show.

The New Technology Pavilion is one of several new types of multi-exhibitor pavilions planned by SPI for the new West Building of McCormick Place. Companies that have already signed up standard exhibiting space will also have the opportunity to make additional investments in a New Technology Pavilion kiosk. A panel of American industry editors will determine if a development qualifies for display in the pavilion.

To submit a product for consideration and to purchase a kiosk in the New Technology Pavilion, exhibitors should contact Iain Thomas at +1-312-673-4816 or email: iain@npe.org

The last NPE in 2006 attracted 1,838 exhibitors over a space of 87,600 sq m, with 33% of them from overseas. Of the 64,438 visitors, 23% were internationals from 114 countries. For details on NPE, visit: www.npe.org
