This international two-day conference is now firmly established as Europe’s premier meeting place for the thermoplastic elastomers sector. The last two events brought together more than 200 key players involved in all stages of the TPE supply chain.

The TPE 2001 conference programme was even more comprehensive than those of previous years. It features expert presentations on key market trends, new application developments and the very latest material innovations.

If you are involved in manufacturing, researching, selling, selecting or processing TPEs, then these conference proceedings will give you a real competitive advantage, providing you with information on all the latest developments.
