Take our annual plastics machinery investment survey

Your confidential answers will help us learn how you're making buying decisions for 2026 and shape our coverage.
Oct. 1, 2025

Plastics Machinery & Manufacturing's seventh annual machinery buying survey is now open for your participation.

Each year, we ask processors to fill out the survey regarding machinery investment plans for the upcoming year. Results are anonymized, and you will not be contacted unless you give permission. 

The results help PMM shape its coverage, telling us what's happening in machinery markets, such as the effects of trade policy, labor shortages and other factors. 

Please take three minutes to complete our confidential survey. Deadline is Oct. 31. Results will be published in our January print issue and online.

Thank you!
