Changes are still the theme of the automotive industry, consumer trends, mobile functions, lightweight, autonomous and smart vehicles, emerging technologies and so on have spurred progress in development.

In this environment, plastics and rubber systems and parts suppliers must cope with a quickened development pace and the shifting needs of OEMs and consumers. Two of the leading publications in these industries, Plastics News and Rubber and Plastics News, have teamed to bring you a major event that will elevate these discussions and help move the needle on change.

Plastics and Rubber in Automotive 2019, to be held Jan. 14-15, 2019, at the Suburban Collection Showcase in Novi, Mich., offers two great conferences in one: Plastics News’ Plastics in Automotive and Rubber and Plastics News’ Rubber in Automotive.
