Europe remains vital

04 November, 2011

Our Autumn season of exhibitions continues: No sooner have our Friedr Freek friends in Germany finished telling the world about Ceramicx and infrared heating in plastics manufacture than yet another market opens up. Last week our partners in Turkey, Ser Rezistans, had a very successful participation in the 21st International Istanbul Plastic Industries Fair. Plasteurasia is fast becoming the gateway event to the important Turkish market and beyond. International participation continues to grow, as do a number of Turkey's leading OEM markets; in automotive, construction, white goods and high-volume packaging. Hasan Duman of the company tells us that the high level of business at Plasteurasia includes much interest about Ceramicx Infrared capabilities and products. Ser Rezistans enquiries also included orders from makers of two thermoforming machinery companies who needed new machines with the latest thermoforming efficiency methods included. Ceramicx industrial heat consultants are experts in providing knowledge on energy efficient industrial heaters and reducing costs for thermoforming.   By any standard, Turkish manufacturing is clearly buoyant. Annual Turkish plastics industry growth is generally reckoned to be about thirteen percent and the flavour of this year's Plasteurasia was very much about the country further selling its features and benefits into the international market places. (We feature more in depth material on the Turkish market in our current issue of HeatWorks magazine - just contact us direct for your copy.) In truth, and very much despite the current EU shenanigans - there is currently much vitality in many parts of Europe - especially on the outer fringes and within the Central European manufacturing renaissance. A new technology business like Ceramicx is always looking to couple our infrared heating expertise to that new manufacturing growth and vitality wherever we find it. And fortunately, we are continuing to succeed in searching out new territories. On that note we now look due south to Barcelona, Spain. Later in the month that country's trade exhibition, Equiplast, Nov 14-18, is set to be partnered by a brand new event and conference - Eurotec - led by the Society of Plastics Engineers (SPE). Last year's SPE President, Ken Braney - previously featured in our HeatWorks Magazine - spearheaded this move and we wish Ken and all his team all the best for this bold new venture. Europe - a patchwork of cultures and opportunities - continues to be of central importance to business and the world economy. Ceramicx for one remains committed to finding and partnering all the positives within that changing picture.
