Interplast consolidates the sector and stimulates business
Some of the largest plastic industries in the Southern Hemisphere are located in Santa Catarina. In the northern area there are the large manufacturers of products for civil engineering and technical components, as well as the largest pole for the manufacturing of molds and tools for converting plastics.
According to Simpesc, Sindicato da Indústria de Material Plástico de Santa Catarina this is due to the use of the excellence of the technical schools that prepare qualified labor for the plastic sector in Santa Catarina, the availability of raw materials, the growing local and regional market, so much so that it has been in prominence for 10 years in the national ranking of conversion, occupying second place.
To consolidate the expressive presence in the state, more than xx companies will participate at Interplast 2008 - Trade Fair and Congress of Integration of Plastic Technology - that occurs between 25 and August 29, promising innovations.
Besides traditional products (piping, connections, plastic components, toys etc.), the plastic sector is investing in new technologies, such as products that were developed with nanotechnology, with advanced polymers, among others.
Economy impels growth of the sector
In 2006 the plastic sector sold about R$ 4.9 billion, using about 900 thousand tons of resins. In 2007 the projected growth was 15%, crossing the 1 million tons mark.
With the increase in civil construction, auto sector, packaging, among others, the trend for 2008 is that the plastics industry in Santa Catarina is greater than the national average. According to the executive secretary of Simpesc, Vernon Campos, a growth of approximately 10% is expected in the consumption of resins this year.
He adds: "the construction and technical components sectors are having a good time. But the food packaging, industrial packing, disposables are also quite dynamic."
It is worth remembering that plastic is the material that has the greatest number of new applications, tending to substitute components to reduce costs and to improve the performance and quality.
