AMI has launched the first edition of its new Wind Turbine Blade Manufacturing digital magazine, aimed at a global audience of engineers and senior managers working at all levels in the international blade manufacturing industry and its supply chain.

The 50-page launch edition contains an expert update on the investment outlook for the global wind energy market, it takes a look at the latest developments in high performance glass and carbon fibres, profiles the development of SSP Technolology's 83.5m offshore blade for Samsung, and previews the JEC Composites exhibition. Technical articles include a detailed look at resin impregnation of core materials and a discussion of optical strain monitoring technology.

The launch edition also carries a review of AMI's Wind Turbine Blade Manufacture conference, which over the past three years has established itself as one of the leading meeting points for the blade manufacturing sector.

Wind Turbine Blade Manufacturing magazine is a fully digital publication distributed to 7,300 individuals worldwide.  The first edition can be viewed here. Find out more about the magazine and subscribe here

Whilst the majority of events are held in Europe and North America, AMI has demonstrated its global reach with conferences set to be held in Abu Dhabi, Dubai and Singapore.

The programme covers a wide spectrum of industry sectors from Wind Turbine Blade Manufacture to Medical Grade Polymers.  2013 will also see the introduction of several new conferences including Pipes in Infrastructure, Plastic Closure Innovations and End of Life Plastics 2013.

This report is the 2^nd edition of AMI Consulting's study of "Plastics Processing in the GCC". The previous study was published in 2009.

This new edition reports the dramatic increase in the sector's size and sophistication, and reviews the many substantial changes in the GCC thermoplastics processing sector. The study follows the market and geographical segmentation previously used but investigates in more detail the broader range of strategic imperatives and regional initiatives impacting the high growth GCC plastics processing sector.

In a sector where authoritative data is rarely publicly available, this report will be the seminal study on the GCC plastics processing. It presents an authoritative view of the complex and fast-moving world of GCC plastics processing - this is the first time that this has been achieved with such clarity, depth and insight.

Leslie McCune, author of the study, will be present at Arabplast 2013 (stand 4D-163) from 7-10 January in Dubai to discuss the study. Alternatively you can read more, including report scope, here:
