The 23rd Fakuma trade fair is taking place in Frie-
drichshafen in Germany on 14-18 October. More than 1,750 exhibitors will be using the event to showcase their latest machinery, equipment and materials innovations. According to show organiser PE Schall, over 44,000
visitors attended the previous exhibition in 2012. And although Fakuma is a predominantly German event, more than 30% of those visiting the show came from outside of the country. The show is mainly focused on injection moulding, but that means it attracts many suppliers of polymers, compounds and masterbatch that serve this market. In addition, the extrusion hall (A6) features a good selection of manufacturers of twin-screw extruders, pelletizers and other equipment of interest to the compounding community. Over the following pages we take a look at some of

the compounding-related products that are being displayed across the Fakuma 2014 fairground. We will be exhibiting at the show on the Applied Market Information (AMI) stand, which is number 2124 in Hall B2. The editors of Com- pounding World and our sister magazine Injection World will be at the event, report- ing news as it happens on our Twitter feed –
