ASlA’S LEADlNG ENGLISH/CHINESE MAGAZlNE FOR THE PLASTlCS AND RUBBER lNDUSTRY

Changing with the times PRA sees change as a reality and acknowledges it as part of a healthy growth. In fact, PRA meets changes head on and adapts to them. Compared to other publications of a similar genre, we maintain a strong focus on the latest technology and the evolving trends that are shaping the plastics and rubber industry. Change also comes in the form of a revamp in our business organisation, wherein the Head Office is now in the Netherlands and the Publisher is Arthur Schavemaker; while Tej Fernandez remains as the Executive Editor at our Regional Office in Malaysia. This change warrants the best output, in terms of bringing impacting contents in our forthcoming issues. But some things are essentially constant, such as our integrity. Serving through its 26th year, PRA gives its readers up-to-date information on the plastics and rubber industry. This is an affirmation of our strong readership and advertiser base. Year after year, PRA has maintained itself as an integral part of a niche industry, with vertically aligned industry supplements of Rubber Journal Asia (RJA) and Injection Moulding Asia (IMA). These supplements engage readers with their specialised contents and add on value to advertising. Another constant item is the audited circulation. Both the print and electronic editions, including our monthly online E-News PRA, reach out to a wide audience, making for an effective pass-on readership and extended advertising mileage. Our direction is well-planned, our goal is well-founded. Our strength as a medium has been amply tested by time. Our readers and advertisers cannot expect anything less, regardless of the changes that arise. Partake in our strengths and move forward with PRA.
