Cannon Group’s CEO Marco Volpato will deliver the conference keynote address at UTECH Europe 2021, the world-leading polyurethanes conference and exhibition taking place at the MECC in Maastricht, the Netherlands 16-18 November 2021. Registration for the event is now open at: www.utecheurope.eu
Volpato will present a paper entitled Polyurethane: where we came from and where we’re going. He took over the ownership and management of Cannon after his father’s death in 1974, giving him close to 50 years’ experience as a leader in the sector. He oversaw Cannon’s growth to become a premier global supplier of machinery for polyurethane foam manufacture before expanding into machinery for plastics and composites manufacture and wider industrial automation.
The comprehensive three-day UTECH Europe 2021 conference programme will cover all areas of the polyurethanes industry including markets, sustainability, the latest developments in polyurethane science, innovation, legislation and regulation, as well as flexible foams, PU composites, energy efficient rigid foams, 3D printing, nano materials and CASE (coatings, adhesives, sealants and elastomers). More details of the conference programme will be announced in the coming months.
