Polymer Sourcing and Supply Chain Workshop

The Polymer Sourcing and Supply Chain Workshop is a high-level strategic seminar designed for procurement professionals and supply chain directors navigating the increasingly volatile global materials market. Hosted by Applied Market Information Ltd, this event focuses on the micro and macro-economic factors currently impacting the availability and pricing of commodity and engineering resins across the Uk and Europe.

In an era of geopolitical uncertainty and logistical disruptions, the workshop provides attendees with the tools to build resilient procurement strategies. The sessions cover a range of critical topics, including feedstock price forecasting, the impact of energy costs on polymer production, and the shifting dynamics of global trade flows. Participants will learn how to diversify their supplier portfolios and mitigate risks associated with long-lead-time imports. A significant portion of the day is dedicated to the role of data in modern procurement; experts will demonstrate how digital platforms and real-time market intelligence can be used to optimize inventory levels and negotiate more effectively with resin producers.

Furthermore, the workshop addresses the growing demand for sustainable sourcing. As brand owners demand lower-carbon materials, procurement teams must balance cost-efficiency with environmental targets. The event features interactive breakout sessions where attendees can discuss specific challenges with AMI’s senior consultants, gaining bespoke advice on contract management and price indexing. This is an essential gathering for any business professional looking to secure their material pipeline for 2026 and beyond, ensuring their operations remain agile in a fast-changing economic environment.
