AMI Plastics World Expo North AmericaAMI Plastics World Expos North America

AMI Plastics World Expo North America is currently the largest annual plastics industry exhibition in North America. Comprising four major sectors: plastics compounding technology, recycled plastics, plastics extrusion, and polymer testing, it gathers top industry enterprises to showcase the latest products and services, enhance brand visibility, expand sales channels, establish connections across the upstream and downstream supply chain, and leverage AMI's highly influential publications for broader promotion.

The exhibition hosted 376 exhibitors, with over 80% securing letters of intent or preliminary agreements. Renowned exhibitors include Sigma, Akdeniz Chemson, Asahi Kasei Corporation, Brenntag, Budenheim, BYK, Cabot, Clariant, Dover Corporation, Milliken, Mitsubishi Chemical, Mitsui Chemicals, Coperion, Herbold Meckesheim, Farrell Pomini, KraussMaffei, PerkinElmer, Reifenhäuser, Thermo Fisher Scientific, Zeppelin Systems, and others.

During the exhibition, 5,676 professionals from 43 countries and regions, including the US, Canada, Italy, Germany, China, Japan, and Mexico, attended. Attendees included multinational industry giants such as 3M, ABB, AkzoNobel, Arkema, BASF, BYK, Celanese, Clariant, Covestro, Dow, Emerson, Evonik, ExxonMobil, Honeywell, LANXESS, LG Chem, LyondellBasell, Mitsubishi Chemical, SABIC, SK Group, Solvay, Thermo Fisher Scientific, Toyota Tsusho, WACKER Chemie, and others.

For years, the US plastics industry has remained dynamic and continuously evolving, playing a vital role in the global economy. Renowned for its innovation, technological advancements, and product diversification, it is widely applied in packaging, automotive, healthcare, and consumer goods sectors. As one of the largest manufacturing industries in the US, it holds a leading position in the global plastics market, with an annual output value of approximately $519 billion and employing over 1 million workers.

Compared to Europe and China, the supply of plastics processing machinery in North America is relatively insufficient, creating opportunities for manufacturers of compounding, extrusion, recycling, and molding equipment. This provides an excellent condition for China's plastics industrial machinery to enter the US market. Through the introduction of advanced technologies and capital, as well as global procurement, China's plastics machinery manufacturing and industrial design capabilities are developing rapidly. The "high quality and competitive pricing" of related products will undoubtedly serve as a significant advantage in penetrating the US market.
