Registration is now open for the annual conference of the European Plastics Distributors Association (EPDA, Salisbury, UK; www.epda.com) set to take place in Kraków, Poland, this year from 27 to 29 May. The organisation is encouraging members and industry professionals to register early in order to secure the special discounted early-bird fee available until 2 March.

Established in 1973, the EPDA is a membership organisation dedicated to promoting distribution as the preferred route to market for semi-finished plastic parts. It unites owners, CEOs, directors, and senior executives from numerous European manufacturers and distributors of plastic sheets, blocks, rods, profiles, tubes, pipe, valves, and fittings.

Plasteurope.com is set to present at the conference with a session dedicated to engineering plastics, offering a structured overview of current market conditions and the outlook ahead. The presentation is to explore key end markets, price trends, and broader engineering plastics market developments, alongside feedstocks, value chains, supply dynamics, capacities, and recent price movements.

Particular attention is to be given to materials of specific relevance to EPDA members, including PMMA, polycarbonate, and other widely distributed engineering plastics.

The session is to be led by industry expert Dimitrios Koranis, managing director of Koranis Purchasing Solutions, followed by a member of the KI.PIE Group team, who will introduce our new platform Pricenxt and outline how data-driven insights can support more informed commercial decision-making in an increasingly complex market environment.
