The Palisades – MidAtlantic Section of the Society of Plastics Engineers (SPE) was renamed July 1, 2021, with the merger of the SPE Palisades New Jersey Section and the Lehigh Valley Section. We meet regularly in central New Jersey to promote relationships within the community of professionals in the plastics industry and to provide our members with ongoing education in the diverse uses of plastics. Unlike an SPE division (which focuses on a specific technical topic), the Section focuses on bringing together plastics professionals in the local geographical area. A key role of this Section is to encourage the next generation of plastics professionals. We support local student chapters of SPE, and each year the Section awards several scholarships.

Our members have a wealth of plastics experience in areas such as extrusion, foams, PVC formulation, and plastics additives. Engaging speakers present technical and business topics at our meetings, and these often spark discussions that lead to potential solutions for processing or formulating challenges. Past meetings have included tours of local plastics businesses and joint meetings on the campuses of our student chapters. In addition to in-person tours, we plan to host virtual and hybrid educational events beginning in 2024. View our list of events and come see for yourself!
