Omnexus Launches German Plastics News Online

ZURICH and DÜSSELDORF (25 October, 2001) - Omnexus, the global, neutral eMarketplace created by the plastics industry for the plastics industry, has reinforced its position as the most comprehensive resource for plastics industry information by offering plastics industry news in German to users of the Omnexus German Web site. Omnexus began featuring news provided through German news organization and plastics journal K-Zeitung today, coinciding with the opening of K-show 2001 in Düsseldorf.

K-Zeitung’s timely, substantive and well-investigated stories have earned it a reputation as the premier provider of news about the plastics industry in Germany. Omnexus now offers users of its German site online access to the most current industry news available in their preferred language.

“We are delighted to offer German news about the plastics industry” said David Jukes, senior vice president of Omnexus. “This is clear validation that Omnexus has proven its value as the intersection where plastics industry professionals meet to learn and do business. This demonstrates our commitment to provide local news to Omnexus users in their local language. This is also the proof of a strengthened involvement in Europe.”

The Omnexus German Web site features a daily update of the top news stories researched, written and compiled by the editorial team of K-Zeitung for the plastics industry. The information provides a clear picture of current events, both within the German plastics industry and worldwide, in addition to industry research and other German-focused information.

Omnexus plans to add similar local news feeds to its other native-language sites, which in addition to English and German, include French, Spanish, and Italian, with other languages planned by entering into similar arrangements with the leading plastics magazines in other European countries.
