K 2019

16-23 October 2019, Düsseldorf (D)

Three years after the last edition, K 2019, the leading global trade fair for the plastic and rubber sector organized by Messe Düsseldorf, has been sold out for a long time. With over 3,000 exhibitors from more than 60 countries, the event occupies the entire Düsseldorf exhibition area (approximately 175,000 m² of net exhibition space).
For eight days the fair will be a global showcase and an ideal meeting place for sector operators from all over the world (around 200,000 specialized are expected visitors) to discuss current trends and lay the groundwork for the evolution of the future.

The thematic focus of the next edition will be the most current topics for the plastics sector, primarily those related to the circular economy and sustainable development, which will find ample space in the exhibition offer and in various initiatives of the collateral program.
Among these we mention the special exhibition “Plastics Shape the Future”, to investigate some burning problems for the sector (packaging waste, marine waste, climate change...) and to present the possible solutions that save resources and achieve energy efficiency. The purpose of the initiative is to propose an international information and networking platform, involving members of the political world as well as organizations active in these contexts, called to offer their contribution with interventions and speed talks.

Sustainability and the circular economy will also be at the center of the Science Campus, a bridge between the Academy and Industry, and the joint presentation of the VDMA (German Association of Machine and Plant Builders) and associated companies.
Among the additional services available, on the event website (at the link “www.k-online.com/2410”) it is possible to consult the list of exhibitors and purchase the entrance ticket.
