    Plastics Machinery & Manufacturing wants to tell your stories! 

    • K 2025 is coming up in October. What equipment are you planning to show off? Our editors are interested in Product Innovations features and will be covering major innovations in more detail.
    • Our monthly “In Other Words” feature goes in-depth with a professional who has made a mark in the plastics industry over the course of his or her career. Do you know someone we should profile, whether a prominent executive, a machinery innovator or an unsung hero?
    • Processors and equipment suppliers often work together to come up with a solution to a production challenge. We’d love to share your experience in a “Problem Solved” feature.
    • We are always interested in hearing how processors are dealing with issues like the labor shortage, the move toward automation and smarter factories, sustainability and more.

    You can email [email protected] or the editors you normally work with.
