Halle A2, Stand 2313

will be occupied this year by

roughly 1800 exhibitors from 37

countries (including Germany)

– and the proportion of manu-

facturers and distributors from

outside of Germany lies within a

range of greater than 35%, thus

resulting once more in growing

internationalism!

The plastics industry is having

to reinvent itself to a given

extent!

The lasting trend towards par-

ticipation at Fakuma, which is

held in the technology region on

Lake Constance where Germany,

Austria and Switzerland meet,

can also be explained by the

fact that large segments of the

plastics processing industry are

changing – or are being forced

to change – through the use of

new materials, technologies and

processes. 3D/4D printing tech-

nologies, as well as techniques

and solutions for highly efficient

processing of hybrid, composite

and sandwich materials can be

mentioned here as examples –

above all and especially because

the automobile industry and its

suppliers are also making use

of the opportunities offered by a

broad-ranging portfolio of chem-

ical solutions to a greater extent

than ever before due to multifac-

eted requirements for affordable

lightweight structures. The pro-

cess sequence for material and

resource-conserving processing

of these new or alternative mate-

rials is based in turn on elemen-

tary building blocks such as new

machines, adapted moulds and

mould standards, integrated

quality assurance systems and

controllable hydraulic/pneumo-

hydraulic/electric drives, as well

as network-compatible and thus

communication-capable control-

lers plus software – keyword: In-

dustry 4.0!

Knowledge and Technology

Transfer in Theory and in

Practice

In actual practice, plastics pro-

cessing at Fakuma includes in-

jection

moulding,

extruding,

thermoforming and 3D printing,

as well as further processing

right on up to integrated module

assembly and sterile packag-

ing under cleanroom conditions,

for example of technical medical

components ands assemblies.

But plastics processing at Fakuma

also includes beneficial theory in

the form of presentations held at

the highly popular, time-tested

exhibitor forum which is booked

out every year. Top experts pre-

sent new technologies, enhanced

processes, product innovations

and new solutions for improved

economic efficiency in the pro-

duction of plastic parts at the fo-

rum in brief talks, and then place

themselves at the disposal of

their audience for an in-depth ex-

change of views. And thus by be-

ing a convincing, living example

of its anniversary maxim, namely

“Plastics Meets Business”, and

by presenting it in a practically

oriented fashion, the Fakuma in-

ternational trade fair for plastics

processing sees itself as an inno-

vation engine for the plastics in-

dustry once again on the occasion

of the 25th edition of its success-

ful existence.
