K 2013: Get set for Düsseldorf
The world’s biggest plastics exhibition is less than 70 days away. Around 220,000 plastics industry visitors will be descending on Düsseldorf in Germany this October for eight days of doing deals, making new contacts, meeting old friends, and learning about the latest innovations from a huge range of suppliers. K 2013 will fill all 19 halls at Messe Düsseldorf on
16-23 October. More than 3,000 exhibitors will be promoting their raw materials, additives, semi-finished products, machinery, ancillary equipment and services for the international plastics industry. The special feature for the 2013 event is ‘Plastics
move the world,’ which adopts the theme of mobility. Organised by the German plastics industry under the overall management of PlasticsEurope Deutschland and Messe Düsseldorf, this special event includes multimedia presentations, selected exhibits and daily
discussions between scientific and industry experts that will put the spotlight on the role of plastics in construc- tion of lightweight vehicles, aircraft and ships, as well as innovations in electromobility. The previous K show in 2010 was the most internation-
al ever, drawing 222,486 trade visitors from 109 countries. The organisers are predicting another big turnout this year despite the economic challenges facing many countries, especially some of the key European economies.
