NPE 2021 canceled

13 January 2021

The Plastics Industry Association places the health and safety of its members, exhibitors, staff, and the attendees as its highest priority. After consultation with medical and legal experts, its Officers of the Board, the NPE executive committee, exhibitors, and the association membership, the Board of Directors decided the cancellation of the in-person components of NPE 2021, scheduled for May 17-21, 2021, in Orlando, Florida due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic. After extensive review, it has been determined that it is not possible to hold the planned event and also provide a safe environment at that time and location, and therefore we must cancel the in-person show.

“While we are disappointed by the circumstances that led to this decision, we know that the plastics industry is strong and resilient. Over the past ten months, it has been leading the transformation of manufacturing processes and supply chain operations that deliver medical equipment and supplies to pharmaceutical companies, medical supply manufacturers, and healthcare workers, protecting first responders and frontline workers against the coronavirus”, Plastics Industry Association stated announcing the cancellation.
