The plastics sector were represented by such market leaders as Basell Orlen, Anwil, TVK, Borealis, Ampacet, PolyOne, Dunastyr, Polimeri Europa, as well as A. Schulman Polska and other important players on this market.
- After the recession in 2008-2009, which affected a large part of the plastics industry, the situation is improving, however still very slowly – said Jakub Skowronski, the marketer of ANWIL S.A. belonging to the Orlen Group.
Other exhibitors of the International Fair of Plastics Processing PLASTPOL in Kielce are of the same opinion. This year's edition attracted as many as 700 exhibitors from 29 countries. Representatives of almost all European countries, as well as the USA, India, Japan, Taiwan, China, Egypt, Hong Kong, Korea and Thailand came to Kielce to join the event. Among them there are also the lucky ones like the Zakłady Azotowe Tarnów (Nitrogen Works) - Moscice SA – Przedsiębiorstwo Wielkej Syntezy Chemicznej (Great Chemical Synthesis Company), which circumvented a recession graciously.
- Our company, fortunately, was not touched by the crisis. We have succeeded primarily due to the fact that we are an integrated company - says Tomasz Sikora, marketing specialist from Zakłady Azotowe Tarnów - Moscice - It is obvious that something stirred in the industry, even from the attendance at the fair PLASTPOL. Our booth was visited by a lot of specific clients.
- For us, the crisis ended a few months ago. Since then, almost at the rate of an avalanche we have a growing number of orders, which is already twice as much than in the corresponding period of 2009. We are also satisfied with this year’s fair- admits Michał Pijewski, technical specialist from Grilamid
According to Eurostat data, last year's European production of plastics was more than 15% lower compared to 2008, affecting mostly the market of plastics processing machinery. However, improvement is evident since the end of 2009, there was a revival in investments made by companies of the industry. CMAI Analysts predict, however, that the plastics industry will be returning to the best times of 2007 over the next five years.
For the first time a special contest- OMNIPLAST was held in connection with the fair. The contest for Polish branch was co-organized by Tworzywa.pl. Its final came at noon the first day of the fair. Awards were presented to: Robert Kocoń- Ampacet Poland from Warsaw, Beata Wojciechowska - Betaplast Poznań and Rudolf Bagsik- Bagsik the company from Gliwice.
