Kunststoffland NRW

Rund 1.000 Unternehmen mit etwa 85.000 Beschäftigten bilden derzeit die Kunststoffindustrie in Nordrhein-Westfalen. Darunter die großen Kunststofferzeuger, viele kleine und mittlere Kunststoffverarbeiter und Spezialmaschinenbauer. Hinzu kommen zahlreiche Forschungs- und Bildungseinrichtungen sowie Dienstleistungs- und Handelsunternehmen, die alle dieser Industrie zuarbeiten.

Damit ist die Kunststoffindustrie einer der bedeutendsten Wirtschaftszweige in Nordrhein-Westfalen und ein wesentlicher Träger von Innovation. Diesen Vorsprung zu erhalten und die Exzellenz einer ganzen Branche zu stärken ist Ziel der Initiative kunststoffland NRW.

Das Webportal kunststoffland NRW dient als Plattform, die vielseitige Informationen für Fachleute und interessierte Laien bietet und den Austausch und Wissenstransfer initiiert.
