European conference – Linking the Industry

At Teijin Aramid we have been hosting the European conferences every two years for over a decade now. This event creates an optimal forum for the cross-fertilization of ideas and inspiration across the entire European elastomer reinforcement market and production chain. This broad cooperative approach is expressed in the conference theme: ‘Linking the Industry’. The European conference: aramids in Rubbers & Polymers will be held at the Van der Valk Hotel in Apeldoorn, The Netherlands.

Interesting presentations and plenty of opportunities for informal networking can be expected. On Monday the 11th of June you have time to settle in and get registered for the conference. At 20.00 hrs we like to welcome you for a cocktail in the Van der Valk Hotel.

This conference is fully booked. If you wish to register, please contact your local sales representative.
