The Leading Process Technology Exhibition
Heads West!

Powder/bulk and process manufacturing suppliers are now presented with the unique opportunity to participate in the processing and bulk solids event for California and the West Coast—a first for the industry!

Exhibitors at this event will be leading manufacturers of processing and handling equipment, auxiliary equipment, components, and controls.

Attendees are process and manufacturing engineers, manufacturing managers, production managers, operations managers, product/project managers, and senior processing/manufacturing executives from California’s powder/bulk solids and process manufacturing markets. PTX West/Powder & Bulk Solids West 2009 will deliver U.S. Western region attendance and include international outreach to Mexico, Central America, and the Pacific Rim.

Process Technology Market Statistics

Producing the international event in Chicago as well as this new West coast event makes sense based on market data showing that the largest process market after the Midwest is the Western region. The following compares the Midwest and Western regions.
