PDM Plastics Design & Moulding Event Moves to Manchester Central

Organisers of the Plastics Design & Moulding Event, have announced that the exhibition and conference is moving to the Manchester Central Convention Complex and will be taking place 11-12 June 2019. The British Plastics Federation (BPF) is also joining forces with Crain Communications to organise the event, which is expanding to include more about plastics recycling.

“We are delighted to share in the presentation of PDM in 2019,” said Bruce Margetts, BPF president. “The move to Manchester together with an increased focus on recycling themes provide an excellent platform to relaunch the show. At a time when the industry’s environmental performance is under intense public scrutiny, we need prominent fora to exchange experience of best practice and to link up the disparate parties in the chain who make plastics sustainability happen. We look forward to adding our BPF expertise to the development of the show.”

“We are very pleased to be partnering with the BPF and moving PDM to the Northern Powerhouse venue of Manchester Central for 2019,” said Matt Barber, sales and events director at Crain Communications. “Together these two developments will enable us to broaden the scope and appeal of PDM and grow the event in new ways that reflect the latest developments in the fast-changing UK and global plastics industry.”
