PTXPO 2026 is a comprehensive showcase of cutting-edge technologies and innovations within the plastics molding industry. Join fellow molders, moldmakers, brand owners, OEMs and their full suite of suppliers in Rosemont, IL for three days of non-stop networking, education and business development opportunities.

Golden Corridor of Manufacturing

Rosemont, IL (Chicago) is home to PTXPO because the Midwest personifies US manufacturing. Illinois ranks #4 in terms of total manufacturing jobs, with nearby Ohio, Indiana, Michigan, Pennsylvania, New York, and Wisconsin rounding out the top-10. Close proximity to the companies and people who make molding possible means more exhibitors, more large-scale machinery and more opportunities for you to network, learn and grow your business.
