Anyone here going to NPE Show in Chicago next week?

NPE = National Plastics Exposition held every three years in the McCormick Center complex.

My company (Universal Dynamics Inc) has a booth which I will be manning Monday thru Wednesday. We make lots of neat machinery for the plastics industry. Unfortunately, our customers who supply the automakers aren't currently buying much.

I take it there aren't any plastics folks on the FAQ.

The show was very nice - I was able to see many of my regular customers, speak to some suppliers and check up on the competition. Here are two booth pics.

According to the Plastics News Magazine, the total number of registered people was about 44,000 from 1200 companies in over 100 countries. This was down about 30% from the 2006 show. The economy hasn't been kind to us manufacturing folks.
