PRESS RELEASE - REGISTRATION FORM - SPONSOR FORM
SPE Composites Division, SPE Miami Valley Section, & National Composite Center announce conference and expo on new markets for materials, processes, and technologies. Suppliers and composites and plastics industry professionals to participate in “Composites On The Move - 2008” conference and exposition on new markets and opportunities for composites. The event is scheduled for Tuesday, March 25, 2008 at the National Composites Center in Dayton, Ohio and includes an optional half day tour of the International Truck & Engine Plant the following day. “Design flexibility, strength, corrosion resistance and light-weight benefits make composites the preferred material for an increasing number of applications in wind energy, commercial transportation, heavy truck, off-highway, building & construction, marine, and more,” said Fred Deans, Marketing Leader for AZDEL, Inc. and “Composites On The Move -2008” Program Co-Chairman.
“New applications for composites are developing in global markets,” said Louis A. Luedtke, President and CEO of the National Composite Center and Conference Co-Chair. “This conference will highlight the technical advancements in composites applications and identify opportunities for growth “Composites On The Move – 2008” is conveniently held just before the Mid-America Trucking Show (MATS 2008), March 27 – 29, in Louisville, Kentucky, only 150 miles away, to give trucking industry professionals an opportunity to learn about the benefits of composites in truck manufacturing and more.” said Josh Ulrich, Conference Committee Chairman and President of the SPE Miami Valley Section.
Composite materials enable numerous design, corrosive resistant, structural, and weight saving benefits to be achieved in
many products in various industries. Yet, composites are only 1.5 % of the materials market. Education, promoting,
recognizing and communicating the technical advantages and benefits of composites materials is the key to increasing
the use of composites in more products. “Composites On the Move – 2008” is an important step toward industry change
to an increased use of composites for improved quality products.
