The Polymers for Europe Alliance proudly announces the launch of the 2024 Polymer Producers Awards. This edition is particularly significant as it marks the 10th anniversary of the Alliance's dedication to fostering a competitive and innovative polymer industry in Europe. This year's theme, "Commitment to the European Market," highlights the importance of suppliers' investment and growth within Europe.
Voting opens on February 20th and will run until May 20th. All users of polymers in Europe are invited to participate in this essential survey, which remains confidential and free of charge.
“The Best Polymer Producers Awards were created in 2015 to re-establish a constructive dialogue and good communication between suppliers and users of polymers in Europe. We encourage plastics converters in Europe to participate and rate all their suppliers. As we celebrate the 10th anniversary, the increasing number of voters (1000) each year demonstrates the enduring success of the awards.” Said Ron Marsh, Chair of the Polymers for Europe Alliance.

10-Year Anniversary & Awards Ceremony
A special 10 Years’ Achievement Award will honor a supplier demonstrating a decade of consistent excellence, determined from past winners.
Top suppliers will receive awards in various categories based on average ratings, along with a distinguished award for Commitment to the European Market covering all polymer types.
The celebratory ceremony will take place during the EuPC networking dinner of the EuPC (European Plastics Converters) Annual Meeting in Brussels, Belgium from the 12th to 13th of June 2025 in Brussels, Belgium, recognizing both annual and decade-long industry achievements.
