The processing industry keeps reacting to geopolitical changes and global trends; companies from all over the world prosper for new supply chains and fresh solutions. The objective is to find new outlet markets. PLASTPOL expo held in Kielce is one of the chances to expand and grow bigger. This year Plastpol commences on 23 May.
