BPF Launch New Website

NEW BPF WEBSITE LAUNCHED

The British Plastics Federation has launched its new website this week at the Interplas fair in Birmingham. This incorporates several highly innovative features and, according to BPFs Public and Industrial Affairs Director Philip Law, propels the BPF into the front-rank of the worlds industrial web sites.

Law said that the BPFs earlier website was enormously popular with 1.5 million unique visitors per annum. The site has been entirely re-styled. Major new additions include downloadable BUYERS GUIDES to the major players in the industry. Featuring BPF members they represent a tangible, new, membership benefit .

The new site also launches PLASTIPEDIA, described by Law as the world’s largest on-line plastics encyclopedia. Covering polymers, additives, processing technologies and products this will feature animations of processes and be exceptionally useful to companies in training their staff , he said.

A totally new dimension, said Law, is the introduction of an on - line professional and social network for the plastics community. PLASTBOOK will be a first rate networking tool facilitating exchange of experience between personnel in the industry. It will also provide a facility to ask and provide answers to particular questions which could lead to business development opportunities for the respondents.

An EXPORTERS’ TOOLBOX will provide immediate access to plastics market data for 80 countries and will enable lists of international agents and distributors to be quickly downloaded.

The new website will also feature the BPFs INDUSTRY DIRECTORY. Designed to help buyers, specifiers and designers to source particular products this is fully searchable and profiles some 2000 UK plastics companies categorised in great detail to ensure accuracy of search.

‘This new website has been long in germination and is the product of enormous effort said Law. We believe it will do a terrific job in promoting the competence of the UK plastics industry to global markets and make the ‘British Plastics’ brand an even greater force to be reckoned with.

The website is accessible on www.bpf.co.uk
