Dear Member of the European Thermoforming Division

It is my task as the Chair of this division to keep you informed of the ETD Board plans and I would like to update you on the Thermoforming Conference on 17th and 18th March 2006 in Salzburg Austria .

The Salzburg venue is a new theatre with excellent facilities which you can see if you go on to www.salzburgcongress.at . You will see a very large and spacious building and we want to fill the whole area, so the ETD can offer the best environment for all our members to listen to technical and commercial presentations and network with their colleagues for our industry. We are very excited about the program which is now complete, as always we have the top companies speaking, such as Nokia and Lotus Cars. Go to www.e-t-d.org to see all details on the conference.

A new innovation at the 5th European Thermoforming Conference will be a parts competition and we ask that all companies should consider taking part in this competition. Attached is the application form if you wish to compete.

We always have a separate area where companies can show their product and services on table tops. This conference facility allows for greater space so if any company would like to book a table top please contact us. This also applies to sponsors, who will be prominently displayed during the conference and of course are then shown on our web site for the following two years as a sponsor for our conference.

Any company interested in the above opportunities please contact Yetty Pauwels at the above address.

Best regards

Ken Braney

Chair of The European Thermoforming Division of the SPE
