NPE 2006 Results

Chicago, June 19 - 23, 2006 , McCormick Center

The NPE 2006 show in Chicago was once again a show to behold.  Overall attendance was up 9% from the 2003 show and total square footage allocated was in excess of 1.3 million square feet.  As always there was excitement in the air and interest in new molding technologies was very high. 

One technology in particular was the “BUZZ” throughout the entire show and that was In Mold Decoration.  As it turns out DPI was there specifically to showcase our IMD capabilities to a wider audience while trying to make an introduction of DPI in the Midwest region.  We were not disappointed!  Many “BIG” name OEM companies such as PNY, Kimberly-Clark, Jabil, Rain Bird, Gillette and more stopped into our booth to chat with Kip Carter, Business Development Manager for DPI, about the pros & cons of IMD.  OEM interest was wide ranging but included such topics as graphic capabilities and/or limitations, durability, tooling considerations, geometry limitations, possible costs and more.

All in all it was a great show and a great opportunity for DPI to showcase our unique IMD capabilities.  We are committed to IMD and we are rapidly gaining a reputation as the “Go-To supplier of IMD” in the south west as we continue forward in our pursuit of IMD excellence.
