2020 Game Plan and Second Look Categories

Two new super categories for 2020

Plant operations, maintenance and infrastructure - Targets all plant managers, plant operations and procurement attendees. Ideal for fixed infrastructure such as ventilation/heating/cooling, dust control, safety barriers, in-plant racks/cages and signage, stairs. Also ideal for moving/mobile infrastructure such as pallet loaders, lift tables, lifting equipment, carts, etc. And perfect for supplies like rubber boots, sanitary hoses and lubricants.


Projected count for Game Plan 2020: 5,500

Projected count for Second Look 2020: 8,400


Packaging consumables (adhesives, tape, stretch film, etc.) – This targets the same audience of plant managers, plant operations and procurement attendees, who are most likely to be involved with the purchase of ongoing high-volume plant consumables typically associated with secondary and tertiary packaging.
