Better Together: A Stronger Future for the Plastics Industry

SPE Members: A Stronger Future Ahead
Better Together with the Plastics Industry Association

The Board of Directors of the Society of Plastics Engineers (SPE) has voted to join forces and merge with the Plastics Industry Association (PLASTICS). This is a historic and thoughtful step designed to ensure that SPE members – professionals at every stage of their careers – gain greater opportunities, resources, and visibility than ever before.

For more than 80 years, SPE has been the home for plastics professionals seeking technical knowledge, professional development, and a trusted network of peers. By combining SPE’s strengths with PLASTICS’ reach and resources, SPE will accelerate its ability to serve members, elevate its voice in the industry, and ensure that SPE remains relevant, impactful, and strong for decades to come.
