Plastribution Hails Inaugural Festival of Polymer Innovation a Resounding Success

Leading polymer distributor, Plastribution, recently hosted its inaugural Festival of Polymer Innovation at the Heart of England Events Centre in Warwickshire on 4th September. The event, which took place on a rare dry day, was deemed a great success by both attendees and participants, with an impressive turnout of 200 industry professionals.

The event broke away from the traditional corporate event format and introduced a fresh, dynamic, and engaging approach. Attendees enjoyed high-quality presentations, networking opportunities, exhibitions and various outdoor activities that added to the vibrant atmosphere of the day.

The PlastikCity Mainstage, compered by Carl Futcher, served as the focal point, where several of the industry’s top companies delivered insightful, solutions-driven presentations. Leading organisations, including ExxonMobil, Ducor Petrochemicals, TotalEnergies, Berry Global, Notpla, UBQ, Engel and Summit Systems, shared their expertise, showcasing the latest innovations and advancements in polymer technology.

Plastribution ensured plenty of time for attendees to relax, with outdoor games, live music and a traditional BBQ, which helped with professional and informal networking.

Commenting on the event, participant Patrick Ottens, commercial director at Ducor Petrochemicals, said: “Honoured to have been asked to represent Ducor Petrochemicals BV at the Festival Of Polymer Innovation, which was perfectly organised and hosted by Plastribution.
