Omnexus to bring plastics eProcurement centre stage at K 2001

eProcurement takes the centre stage at K 2001 in Düsseldorf this October with Omnexus, the global neutral eMarketplace for the plastics industry, showcasing its total resin procurement process, involving multiple products and multiple suppliers, through a single point of connectivity. It will also demonstrate technology that allows processors to perform search and equivalency comparison on a range of up to 4,500 resins, as well as comparisons of plastics processing machinery across a wide range of parameters such as clamping force, tie-bar spacing, shot size, etc.

Free Internet access will be available from the Omnexus stand in Hall 5 Stand H3, to all registered members of Omnexus and those visitors registering during the show. Omnexus membership is available to the entire plastics industry at no charge at www.omnexus.com . Hosting visitors in a unique Internet Café, Omnexus will demonstrate the ease of doing business with the world’s best suppliers. The simplicity and user-friendliness of Omnexus is reflected in the design of its stand. An Internet café creates a relaxed meeting point, which will feature nine terminals through which attendees will have free access to the Web, and through which the advantages of Omnexus and the simplicity of its operation can be demonstrated to prospective members.

This will be the first K appearance for Omnexus since this dynamic business facilitator went online (www.omnexus.com) in October 2000.

It will provide members with an ideal ‘hands on’ introduction to the unique Omnexus value proposition for processors seeking to understand the benefits of eProcurement. Omnexus will also be **present on a number of supplier stands, clearly demonstrating that Omnexus supports processor’s existing supplier relationships.
