Dec. 24, 2024
NPE2024 stories and visits to OEMs' headquarters kept you in the know.

The major mission for Plastics Machinery & Manufacturing's coverage has always been to let readers know about the latest equipment and technologies for plastics processing — it's right there in our name.

This year, NPE returned after a six-year hiatus, and three editors spent the week walking the floor and learning more about the offerings.

Editor Ron Shinn also continued his series of visits to OEMs' North American headquarters. This year, his travels took him to Arburg, Wittmann, Engel and LS Mtron.

We've compiled some of our most in-depth machinery coverage in this slideshow.
