Our story

We connect the global plastics industry by delivering expertise, insights and events to businesses across the world.

Back in 1986, a group of expert consultants set up Applied Market Information Ltd (AMI). They brought together years of experience in market research, intelligence, and data reporting in the global plastics industry.
A lot has changed over the last 38 years. We’ve grown substantially and have added conferences, exhibitions, and magazines to our services. Despite these changes, our work is still underpinned by our dedicated industry teams. Teams that foster strong relationships and have a deep understanding of our client’s strategic challenges.
Together we:
- Continually track core markets and technical developments
- Build unique databases to provide insights and analysis for customers
- Foster trusted rapport with leaders across the industry
- Deliver high-quality market intelligence and events that help businesses to grow
