K 2022: Focus on circular economy, digitalisation and climate protection

K 2022 is set to meet the high demand for personal exchange, information and networking on a global scale from October 19-26, 2022 in Düsseldorf, Germany. For this edition three guiding themes are expected to dominate: circular economy, digitalisation and climate protection.

The deadline for registration of exhibitors for K 2022 has been reached, and it is clear that the interest taken by exhibitors in the world’s most important trade fair for the plastics and rubber industry, continues unabated, according to its organiser. “K 2022 will again occupy the entire fairgrounds,” said Erhard Wienkamp, Managing Director at Messe Düsseldorf, and goes on to say: “When talking to exhibitors we feel that there is an enormous demand for personal exchange on a global level.” 

K 2022 will again welcome the “Who’s Who” of the international plastics and rubber industry to Düsseldorf. Some 3,000 companies from all continents have registered to exhibit their innovations in the segments: raw materials, auxiliaries; semi-finished products, technical components and reinforced plastic products; and machinery and equipment for the plastics and rubber industry.

Relevant information and innovation hub

K in Düsseldorf provides the global plastics and rubber industries with their most important information and business platform. Exhibitors and visitors from all over the world get together here and use the opportunities the trade fair offers to demonstrate the operational excellence of this industry, discuss current trends and chart the course for the future.

K 2022 comes precisely at the right time to offer the plastics and rubber industry orientation again after the changes induced by the pandemic.

The leading themes at the exhibition will be echoed by both the exhibitors’ presentations and in the focus of the official special show "Plastics Shape the Future", the Science Campus and VDMA’s Circular Economy Forum.  

The winning formula at K in Düsseldorf also means always being oriented towards market needs and developing its concept further. This is why the physical event on site will be extended to include additional digital content. “This consolidates the pole position of K in Düsseldorf as a central communication and information platform of its industry – for the duration of the physical trade fair and beyond,” according to Mr. Wienkamp.
