The plastics industry is accustomed to the essential role Middle Eastern polymer producers play in the global market. However, in the coming years, the region will also emerge as a large scale supplier of finished plastic articles. Much of this robust growth will be based on advantaged feedstock, with over 30 billion pounds of new capacity on line in the next five years. Plastics end use markets in all regions of the world will be impacted.
At times of economic slowdown, the position of weaker players tends to erode further while the stronger companies continue to strive to find competitive advantage. The Middle East is about to play a pivotal role in the global plastics industry. Is your company positioned to gain from the prospective changes? Who can you turn to for fair but authoritative views on the direction and strategic options which are opening up at this time.

To assist companies in this area, Applied Market Information (AMI) is organising an industry briefing entitled "The Middle East Plastics Industry Strategy Seminar." The session was held recently in the United Arab Emirates and Belgium, and it will soon take place in Germany. Now, the event is coming to the United States.
On 4 November 2009, "The Middle East Plastics Industry Strategy Seminar" will be held in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania at the Park Hyatt at the Bellvue.
A brochure and registration form is available here in PDF.
You will find that the day provides attendees with both a detailed statistical review of the Middle East market for plastics set in a global context but also the opportunity to discuss key questions about the development of the processing industry and the prospects for downstream applications.
The day is structured as an intimate meeting where attendees can get the maximum benefit of both the presentations, and also discussions with industry colleagues from a wide variety of backgrounds.
I hope that the proposal gives you all the information you need concerning the seminar contents but if you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact me.
Lauren Fell is the Conference Coordinator for AMI’s "Middle East Plastics Industry Strategy Seminar." She can be reached by phone at +1 610 478 0800 and by email at lf@amiplastics-na.com.
