AMI is holding its 1st US edition of Long-Fiber Thermoplastics 2019,
a conference on LFT technologies and applications, on March 5-6, 2019 in
Dearborn, MI, USA. Leading experts will examine the latest developments in
materials, production techniques and end-use applications which are driving
growth in LFT composites.
LFTs combine high strength with
low weight, making them an attractive alternative to metals and to more
expensive polymers. Expert speakers will cover the latest applications of LFTs
in the automotive industry, which remains the dominant end-use market, and in
non-automotive sectors where the material’s high-performance properties are
driving rapid growth.
Long-Fiber Thermoplastics 2019
will bring together leading players in the LFTs industry, key players in the
LFTs supply chain, and existing and potential end-users and processors to learn
more about the utilisation, formulation and processing of these versatile, high
performance and light weight polymer compounds.
In addition to two days of
conference sessions, the event will feature a table-top exhibition and
provide plenty of networking opportunities, including coffee breaks, lunches
and an evening cocktail reception.
Long-Fiber Thermoplastics 2019 will
provide the perfect forum to get an up-to-date view on market trends and growth
opportunities of LFTs. Join key industry professionals from throughout the
supply chain to explore the future of LFTs, and grow your network.
For further information on this conference please contact Stephanie Hume, Senior Conference Coordinator at Stephanie.hume@ami.international or call +1 610 478 0800.
