Plastic Pipes Conference Association
The Plastic Pipes Conference Association (PPCA) was formed to organize and run the series of Plastic Pipes Conferences on behalf of the international plastics pipes industry.
PPCA is a global association dedicated to the ongoing creation and distribution of technical and application information on plastic pipe systems in order to educate and expand their safe, cost effective and sustainable use.
PPCA Member Associations
Member associations of the PPCA are the following:
The organizations are represented by Robin Bresser (Secretary), David Fink (Chairman) and Tony Calton (Vice Chairman and Treasurer) respectively, all as voting board members. In addition, Sarah Patterson (PPXXI OC Chair) Plastics Pipe Institute (PPI) and Zoran Davidovski (PPXXI OC Co-Chair/ Technical Program Chair) Pipelife serve on the board as non-voting members.
Each of the conferences is intended to be self-financing and any profits from one event are re-invested in future conferences, educational tools or “spin-off” events.
