The plastics manufacturing sector has always been highly competitive, however the events of the last couple of years have added to, and in some cases accelerated, the number of challenges faced by the sector.
Supply chain issues, increasing energy costs, labour and sourcing shortages, changing market dynamics, combined with increasing environmental pressures and demands for greater sustainability, mean that many plastics manufacturers, large and small, have had to review and rethink their business strategy.
Plastics manufacturers are therefore now increasingly seeking solutions which will allow them to not only mitigate the pressures they face, but which will also enhance their flexibility and productivity whilst reducing costs, in turn protecting their profitability. The diversity and volumes of the products manufactured from plastic means that the solutions to the issues faced by the sector are likely to be somewhat different depending upon the size of the company and the market sectors they supply.
