U.S. trade officials will lead buyer delegations from 13 Latin American countries to NPE2015 in Orlando, Fla., in March under the auspices of the U.S. Department of Trade's International Buyer Program (IBP), show organizer the Society of the Plastics Industry Inc. says.
The officials will coordinate meetings between delegation participants and U.S. exhibitors in an effort to fast track business between the groups and help with more mundane matters such as obtaining a U.S. visa, according to an SPI news release.
Sixty thousand plastics industry professionals from 120 countries, including Argentina, Brazil, Colombia, Costa Rica, Dominican Republic, Ecuador, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Mexico, Peru, Uruguay and Venezuela, are expected at the March 23-27 show.
