It provided a unique platform for networking, knowledge-sharing, and showcasing groundbreaking solutions.
NPE is known for uniting innovators across the automotive, healthcare, consumer goods, and construction industries, pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in plastics. Every three years, this plastics trade show connects businesses with the latest materials, manufacturing advances, and sustainability initiatives.
Throughout the event, attendees engaged with cutting-edge technology, discovered new partnerships, and explored forward-thinking solutions to drive efficiency and sustainability in their industries.

Showcasing Extera’s Universal 48×45 Lid
Among the highlights of Extera’s presence at NPE 2024 was the Universal 48×45 lid, featured at the 20/20 booth (S28049). This custom-designed lid, owned and manufactured exclusively by Extera, is one of a kind. Since it is designed for nearly all 48×45 HDPE collapsible containers, it solves compatibility issues and revolutionizes material handling.
Beyond their versatility, these lids are more cost-effective than competitor options. Extera manufactures them in-house, thus cutting out the middleman and passing the savings on to customers. Additionally, they are in continuous stock, allowing for immediate delivery to support fast-moving supply chains. This innovative lid further supports the industry’s shift toward efficiency and sustainability by streamlining operations, reducing costs, and ensuring seamless integration across different container brands.
