3 Who we are The first step to innovation The Swiss plastics industry is currently facing a number of major challenges. However, it has the potential to overcome them successfully by means of automation and innovation. These are achieved by the intelligent combination of material, process and component design. And that is precisely where the great strength of Swiss engineering lies: it enables innovations to be introduced for new applications and resource-conserving production. The Swiss Plastics Expo provides an overview of new technologies and materials, or their smart combination. The trade fair is the place where new projects are initiated and innovations take shape. Innovation starts here. Focus on the markets The aim of the Swiss Plastics Expo is to bring the sales markets of construction, medtech, electronics, mobility, devices and packaging into closer contact with the Swiss plastics trade fair. Fair visitors from these markets should regard the Swiss Plastics Expo as the essential place for ideas, knowledge and networking for future innovations. New image under the umbrella brand The umbrella brand of the Swiss plastics industry, «Swiss Plastics» was launched at Swiss Plastics This unique network strengthens the plastics industry whilst linking companies with science, training and further training, the media and organisations. «Swiss Plastics» carries out funding projects in the areas of innovation, marketing, and support for the younger generation. The Swiss Plastics Expo is held in close collaboration with the network, and is therefore presented under the umbrella brand. Enhance the fair s international character The Swiss plastics industry needs to build on its good reputation and strengthen excellence for greater international showcasing. That is why trade fair information for visitors will also be available in English in future. I would like to take this opportunity to say a big thank you to the exhibitors and partner organisations. It is a pleasure working with you. You help to write the ongoing success story of the Swiss Plastics Expo. René Ziswiler Fair Director
