Fakuma 2018 holds promise
for injection moulders As Europe’s plastics industry prepares to set out for Friedrichshafen and the 26th Fakuma fair, we take a look at what will be on show for injection moulders
The 26th Fakuma plastics fair takes place at Friedrichshafen in Germany on 16-20 October. The event – located on Lake Constance where the high tech engineering regions of Germany, Austria and Switzerland meet – runs every year there is no K show. It has grown considerably over recent years and is now arguably one of the most important plastics exhibitions in Europe. Last year’s event drew almost 1,900 exhibitors and more than 48,000 visitors, according to organiser PE Schall. Injection moulding has long been at the heart of
the Fakuma exhibition and the organisers see it as the number one venue for this technology. “There’s no getting around injection moulding if you want to combine lightweight design and highly complex components,” says Fakuma Project Manager Annemarie Schur. For visitors from the injection moulding sector, this year’s Fakuma promises innovations in processing technology, new ma- chines and ancillaries, a swathe of materials and the latest in mould-making and hot runners. Read about these over the next few pages.
