Please select the DETROIT SECTION (S01) when joining SPE or renewing your membership. Thanks for supporting the SPE DETROIT SECTION! Welcome to the Internet Home of the SPE® Automotive TPO Engineered Polyolefins Global Conference the world’s leading forum on the use of rigid and elastomeric thermoplastic polyolefins (TPOs) in automotive and ground transportation. This conference provides the latest innovative developments in transportation polyolefin's and growing range of thermoplastic elastomers (TPE's) and thermoplastic vulcanizates (TPV's). WHO WE ARE AND WHAT WE DO... Since 1998, volunteers from the Detroit Section of the Society of Plastics Engineers have organized the event for
The event showcases technical presentations on materials development, compounds, new applications, surface enhancements, and processing advances, in addition to keynote speakers highlighting broader industry trends. To help build community and enhance networking opportunities, the event also features networking receptions and exhibits by key members of the transportation engineered polyolefin TPO supply chain. The conference typically draws over 800 key industry decision attendees from 4 continents and 20 countries. We hope you will consider being one of those attendees this year.
