Press release

Historical Conventions ILPO’88 – ILPO’94

ILPO has always distinguished itself from the competition also thanks to its spirit of innovation for what concerns communication and spreading of new trends, technological updates and new stylist and design tendencies in the world of polyurethanes.

Already back in 1988 and afterwards in 1994 partnering with the academic arena and with world leading companies in the supply of polyurethane raw materials and systems, two technical update seminars under the title “News, tendencies and perspectives of polyurethane in office, home and public spaces” were organized.

Designers, technical experts, chemical researchers, industry managers and academicians have always adhered with interest and enthusiasm to these important moments of spreading and growth, which made ILPO a real, solid technological reference at the forefront of the industry.
