The Plastics Design and Moulding Exhibition (PDM) has announced it will return to Telford in 2013, after two years at London’s Excel exhibition centre where it successfully attracted a new audience from the design community.

Next year’s event, to be held on 18 and 19 June at the newly refurbished Telford International
Centre, will feature a bigger exhibition space and a raft of quality paid-for and free seminars,
workshops and training opportunities.

The highly specialist content for these programmes is currently being developed with PDM’s recently signed partners which include the British Plastics Federation (BPF), the Gauge & Toolmakers Association (GTMA), Polymer Training and Innovation Centre, the Polymer Machinery Manufacturers and Distributors Association (PMMDA) and Smithers Rapra.
