Prepare for your visit to K2016
K2016, the world’s biggest plastics takes place in Dusseldorf, Germany on 19-26 October 2016 and the organiser of the show, Messe Dusseldorf, will be hoping to improve on the 218,000 visitors that made it through the doors at K2013. Once again, the show will fill all 19 halls of the venue
– where an expected 3,038 exhibitors from more than 130 different countries will promote their raw materials, additives, semi-finished products, machinery, ancillary equipment and services to the plastics industry. The plastics and rubber machinery sector has fared
well since the 2013 event and that is likely to show through in the exhibits presented to visitors. “The most important thing about K is that all the machines are working and whatever is shown is brand new,” says Werner M Dornscheidt, President and CEO of show organiser Messe Dusseldorf. Meanwhile, the Science Campus research and
teaching forum is back with more participants. Intended to encourage dialogue between research and industry, participants include Darmstadt University, the Institute of Polymer Technology (IKT) at the University of Stuttgart, and VDI – the Association of German Engineers. It will focus on four key themes: resource efficiency; new materials; lightweight engineering; and Industry 4.0 Turn the page to see our essential guide to planning your trip to Dusseldorf, with lots of useful links.
