The fifth edition of Composites Europe will return to Essen in 2010 where it will be co-located with the Aluminium World Fair from 14-16 September. With more than 1000 exhibitors, both events together will comprise what the organiser claims will be the largest platform for lightweight construction.
Having attracted 6,120 trade visitors last year in Stuttgart, the trade fair has steadily grown since the first event in 2006. Half a year before the trade fair opens, 70% of the exhibition area has already been booked. A large number of key players have registered their participation, among them BASF, 3B Fibreglass from the Netherlands, US producer of resins AOC, German engineering company MAG and Italian engineering company Breton. For the first time, Europe's largest supplier of carbon fibres Toho Tenax will present itself at Composites Europe.
Some 350 international exhibitors altogether are expected in Essen at Composites Europe who will showcase their technologies and products around the entire value creation chain of fibre reinforced plastics. Once again, the AVK - Industrievereinigung Verstärkte Kunststoffe e.V. - International Conference will mark the beginning of this year's trade fair.
