Dubai, UAE – Intertek, the leading quality solutions provider to industries worldwide, has been welcomed by the SPE to present on “Global Food Contact Regulations and Routes to Ensure Compliance” and “Best Practices to Accelerate and Support Innovative Applications of new Polymer Materials”.
The conference brings together an international network of polymer experts from the industry. More than 75 speakers from around the world will be presenting on the latest developments and innovations in a wide variety of plastics technologies. The SPE is home to nearly 16,000 professionals working with plastics in more than 84 countries around the world.
One of Intertek’s presenters, Dr. Naeem Mady, VP Regulatory Services, said: “Implementing material characterization and food contact compliance programs in development processes can reduce time-to-market significantly. These programs support early adjustment or elimination of off-spec materials or products which are not meeting regulatory compliance or technical or market requirements.”
Intertek’s Senior Vice President, Dr. Andrew Swift said: “Intertek is seeking to extend its expert support for the polymer industry in the Middle-East. By sharing our decades of industry experience in all forms of polymer prototyping, testing and regulatory compliance, we believe Intertek is uniquely positioned to assist the polymer industry in this region to meet its goals for new product performance and safety whilst satisfying the appropriate standards for international regulatory compliance. We are very pleased to be welcomed by the Society of Plastic Engineers with two presenters at the ANTEC event in Dubai.“
