"Profitability recovery along the chain and market consolidation"

Recent conversations with producers in the region indicate that PET business is difficult in current times. Many are suffering from depressed margins owing to high feedstock costs and also an influx of preforms from Far East. Yet PET giants like Indorama are buying up assets in Europe with the recent purchase of Eastman's European PET assets. Neo Group has recently announced new ownership. What are the challenges ahead for them? Will the industry witness more market consolidation or current producers exiting the game?

Join CMT and our leading industry experts at the 9th CEEPET conference as we give you a true insight on the developments in the PET industry.

Seize the opportunity to uncover new possibilities and identify business opportunities in the burgeoning region. We are expecting over 150 key players to attend the 9th CEEPET conference.
Registration is now officially open!
