Hi, my name is Mike Smith and I am the Director of Polyolefin Studies for Europe, Middle East and Africa at CMAI's Germany office in Düsseldorf.  I recently had the opportunity to share CMAI's views regarding developments and challenges in the polyolefins industry for the coming exciting years during a Webinar that Alastian organised.  During the Webinar I received a lot of interesting questions from the participating plastics processors and clients of Alastian. It would be great to receive more challenging views and ideas from you via this Blog.  So, let's start a dialog!  And if you don't know who or what CMAI is, please visit our website at www.cmaiglobal.com or send me an e-mail at mdsmith@cmaiglobal.com.
