FAKUMA 2023 | SHOW PREVIEW
Fakuma opens for business
The 28th
Fakuma fair takes place this month in Germany and
organisers are predicting an inspiring show. We take a look at some of the innovations for compounders
The Friedrichshafen exhibition centre in Germany hosts the 28th
Fakuma trade fair from 17-21
October, presenting what will be the biggest collection of injection moulding and raw material innovations in Europe this year. “Spirits are high, the exhibitors are excited about
presenting their future-oriented solutions and the expert visitors can look forward to an inspiring trade fair,” says Annemarie Schur, Fakuma Project Manager at show organiser PE Schall. She identifies key themes for this year’s event as circular econo- my, recycling and sustainability with a particular interest on “ecologically compatible” plastics production and processing. Fakuma was last held in 2021 when it attracted
1,470 exhibitors. The organisers did not disclose the total number of visitors to that edition of the show, which took place as Germany’s post-pan- demic exhibition restrictions eased, but attendance appeared reasonably strong with the usual 40%

share of visitors from outside of Germany. This year’s event may not match the record 47,650 visitors of 2018 — the last Fakuma show before the pandemic — but it is likely to be well attended once again and just as international. Over the following pages, we take a look at
some of the companies that will be showing materials or equipment of interest to the compounding sector.
