Andia - a super cool design agency...

Polyplastics exhibited at Plastindia 2015 held from February 5 to 10 in Gandhinagar, a city in the state of Gujarat on the northwest coast of India. Polyplastics’ exhibit was based on the theme “Global Reach, Local Touch.” Plastindia is held once every three years. This was the 9th exhibition and the first to be held in a city other than India’s capital, New Delhi.

The project team that worked on the exhibition kicked off last year in January after advance preparation. Harshad Karmarkar led the team composed of employees from PMI; Cliff Chan, who is the senior corporate communications manager for Greater China and the Southeast Asian region; and people from the Public Relations Division and Global Sales and Marketing Division at headquarters, the ASEAN TSC, and the TOPAS Business Development Department. They all worked hard preparing for the exhibition. Everyone was a little surprised to hear at the end of September that the location of the venue had been changed again, but no one was concerned about it.

Visitors came from all over India to visit the exhibition. A group of engineers from the ASEAN TSC came to support us, so we were able to have some very productive discussions with visitors.

The exhibition was also marked by a large number of student visitors.

Among the student visitors were a group of students studying plastic and polymer engineering at Government Polytechnic, Amravati, who came a road distance of 750 kilometers from the venue accompanied by their teacher to visit the exhibition. As a matter of fact, the teacher was a classmate of Atul from PMI from his university days. We were impressed at the keen interest the students showed as they listened to Atul explain Polyplastics’ exhibit.

We hope the exhibition will further enhance Polyplastics’ presence in the Indian market, and contribute to the efforts of our customers in India to create increasingly good products and development of the next generation.
