What it is

NPE: The Plastics Show is the largest plastics trade show in the Americas, according to the organizer, and runs every three years. The 2027 edition is in Orlando and has five technology zones (bottling, manufacturing services, materials, moldmaking, and recycling and sustainability), a Sustainability Park and education sessions on the show floor.

Who attends

Plastics processors, material suppliers, machinery and tooling makers, and buyers from end markets such as packaging, automotive, medical and consumer products. The organizer expects more than 51,000 attendees from over 130 countries. Its exhibitor prospectus lists top visitor industries including chemicals and plastics, molds and tooling, machinery, packaging, and recycling.

Go ifYou sell machinery, tooling, materials, automation, software or services to plastics processors and want many buyers in five days. It suits teams that want buyers from the Americas and other regions in one place.

Is there an exhibitor list for NPE?

Yes. The organizer publishes the exhibitor list on Map Your Show. The organizer's NPE2027 registration announcement says 2,200 exhibitors are expected. The About page says over 2,200 exhibiting companies. This is an expectation, not a reported result.

Can I get the attendee list for NPE?

Organizers rarely publish one. EarlyHall builds it from public sources: exhibitor and speaker pages and social posts, plus the event app when you give us access. Each person is tagged with their role at the event and the source we found them in, and a listing is never presented as confirmed attendance. Lists start at $349 per event.
