ARBURG have been attending the Plastic Industry Awards for many years and have been a winners on numerous occasions. I have always found the awards to be a superb evening, where the plastics industry can come together to celebrate the best of our industry. Given that 2023 is a very special year for us as we are celebrating 100 years of the Hehl family, we thought it would be entirely appropriate to be a Platinum sponsor at the 2023 PIA's. We are looking forward to it!

TH Plastics were delighted to be recognised by the Plastics Industry Awards for the project completed with Strata (Berry Global). It means so much for us to see our hard work rewarded with what is seen as the ‘pinnacle of recognition’ in our industry. It was great to see the smile on everyone’s faces and the pride we all took in receiving the award. We are delighted with how winning the award has further enhanced the profile of our business as we grow our presence in the plastics manufacturing sector, and we look forward to battling it out all over again with the best in the business at the next awards.

Adreco Plastics are very proud of our participation and heritage at the annual Plastics Awards, and we passionately believe the importance to of celebrating the successes in UK plastics manufacturing. The PIA is the perfect way to bring the industry together and it is critical to showcase the brilliance amongst us. Having been nominated as finalists in the Toolmaker supplier category in both 2015 and 2016, we worked hard and were delighted to win that category in 2017. There is no doubt, that the accolade of the finalist and winner awards helped position Adreco Plastics as a top flight Toolmaker and Injection Moulder and we proudly use these achievements in our marketing. Following COVID we were particularly delighted to win the Toolmaking category again in 2021 and in 2022, win the Consumer product category and be nominated as a finalist in the Toolmaking supplier category. The PIA will always be one of the highlights of our calendar year and the STH Plastics group and its subsidiaries; Adreco Plastics and International Scientific Supplies will always look forward to supporting it. 

Advanced Plastics Group were thrilled to receive the PIA Processor award and Toolmaker Supplier Partnership award in 2022 which coincided with our 30th year of trading. Being announced winner of the Processor award in front of our highly respected industry peers gave a massive sense of achievement and pride to the whole team. The kudos of being recognised as an industry leader by an independent panel of judges has supported our targeted marketing activity as we continue to grow the business and diversify into new market sectors.

The PIAs are well-known as one of the better sector-specific awards and in recent years the events have been increasingly polished and highly enjoyable, in addition to their value for networking, sharing ideas and celebrating success. As past sponsors, and as winners and finalists in several categories, Plastek UK remain actively engaged with PIA and as our industry rises to the challenge of building a sustainable future, we feel these annual events are a great way to focus attention on our many positive achievements.
