PU TECH 2014 Preview (12 – 14 March 2014, India Expo Centre, Greater Noida, New Delhi)

The fourth polyurethane exhibition and conference for the Indian market, PU TECH 2014, will take place in mid-March at the India Expo Centre in Greater Noida. The polyurethane industry is one of the rapidly growing industries in India, which has registered double-digit growth during the past five years and is expected to double every four years in the coming decade. The three-day PU TECH exhibition will feature approximately 130 exhibitors, that will bring together raw material producers, equipment suppliers, end-users, and the industry at large under one roof to provide for a comprehensive growth of technology and markets.

PU TECH 2014 is organised jointly by the Indian Polyurethane Association (IPuA) and Unitech Exhibitions Private Limited. The event will be held at the state-of-the-art venue ‘India Expo Centre’ at Greater Noida, New Delhi. This world class exhibition centre hosts a series of high quality national and international trade fairs. Its exhibition halls are complete with international quality infrastructure, making it a perfect choice of top class expos and conferences. India Expo Centre responds to the growing demand for ultra-modern exhibition, conference and events spaces in India, one of the fastest growing markets in the world. The multi-functional venue is a rare combination of technology merged with world-class facilities and safety standards. A total of 5,000 visitors are expected over the course of the three days. The exhibition opens daily from 10.30 am – 6.30 pm. More information can be found at www.putechindia.com.

The need for greater energy efficiency in buildings is becoming acute in India, especially in New Delhi, where power outages are a frequent occurrence. In recognition of the contribution that polyurethane can make towards energy savings and a better environment, the one-day conference programme on 13 March 2014 will focus on energy efficiency in buildings, the use of lightweight composites in the automotive industry, as well as the benefits of environmentally friendly products such as low GWP blowing agents, low VOC additives, and safer adhesive formulations.
