FAKUMA 2021 | EVENT PREVIEW
The Covid pandemic forced the cancellation of last year’s Fakuma trade fair but it’s back for 2021. We look at some of the new technologies at this year’s show
Fakuma opens its doors again to plastics industry
The Fakuma exhibition, one of the major trade fairs for the plastics industry, returns to its home in Friedrichshafen, Germany, this month. The in-per- son event takes place on 12-16 October one year after it was held as a virtual event in 2020 as a consequence of restrictions around the Covid pandemic. The virtual platform used in 2020 is once again available for visitors to also view exhibitor products online. The 27th Fakuma is happening in the shadow of the continuing pandemic and event organiser PE Schall has appropriate hygiene and safety precau- tions in place for all attendees. The company says Covid-related measures have been extensively coordinated with the responsible authorities and implemented on the basis of rules set by the state of Baden-Württemberg. The international trade fair is well known as a technical event for injection moulding, but, as in recent years, the 2021 edition has a strong focus on sustainability and the circular economy, including the use of recycled plastics.
www.injectionworld.com Annemarie Schur, Fakuma project manager,
says: “It’s plainly apparent that the exhibitors have become increasingly eager to address the currently negative image which is unfortunately associated with plastics. The issue of recycling and the transformation from a linear to a circular economy are on the agenda for many companies and thus Fakuma will also make a contribution to increasing the awareness of circular economy, recyclability, product lifecycles and product design to an even greater extent.” In this preview, Injection World highlights some of
the exhibitors with machinery and materials product offerings for injection moulders. To find out about all Fakuma exhibitors, visit
