Plastics Technology magazine reports on technical innovations and interprets manufacturing trends for fabricators of any kind of plastics product. Each month, managers of plastics-processing operations in the U.S. and Canada get early word of new materials, equipment, and techniques for keeping up with competitors around the world. They also get analysis of how new business challenges will affect their operations. We also provide monthly summaries of business and market news, updates on resin prices, analysis of regulatory developments that will affect our readers, and quarterly surveys of readers' capacity utilization and machine-hour pricing rates.
Most readers share an engineering background and hands-on manufacturing experience.
