\"\"K has drawn to a close in D\u00fcsseldorf after eight days on Wednesday (23 October 2019). The 3,330 exhibitors from 63 nations proved impressively: plastics continue to be an innovative, indispensable, future-oriented material. But they also unanimously underscored the necessity of having operational circular economies along the complete material chain and to this end already presented concrete solutions. Companies struck a nerve with people with this focus because the approximately 225,000 visitors from 165 countries took great interest especially in recycling systems, sustainable raw materials, resource-saving processes. Furthermore, K 2019 was characterised by a high propensity to invest as before. The intention among the international trade audience to get perfectly geared up for the future with the latest technologies was clearly perceivable.<\/p>\n

\u201cK 2019 came at precisely the right point in time. Its enormous importance for the sector is underpinned by its high acceptance levels all over the world. There is no other place the industry is represented so internationally and completely as here in D\u00fcsseldorf every three years,\u201d says Werner Matthias Dornscheidt, President & CEO of Messe D\u00fcsseldorf, and explains: \u201cEspecially in times of great challenges, a platform like the K is indispensable. It provides guidance and perspectives, sets sustainable economic impulses, shows forward-looking trends and concrete approaches. The industry and its professional associations enjoyed the unique opportunity here to present sector-specific solutions and debate questions of socio-political relevance on a global scale. And they have capitalised on this opportunity outstandingly well.\u201d
\n\"\"Ulrich Reifenh\u00e4user, Chairman of the Exhibitor Advisory Board at K 2019, was absolutely delighted at K 2019 results: \u201cThe plastics and rubber industry succeeded in proving once again that plastics are not only very valuable materials with outstanding properties but also that this industry assumes responsibility along the entire value chain. The buzzwords at K 2019 \u201cReflect. Re-Think. Think Laterally. Think Afresh.\u201d were mirrored 1:1 by exhibitors\u2019 stands. Never before has the industry addressed an issue so unanimously and worked on solutions so consistently as is the case now in the fields of environmental compatibility, saving resources and avoiding waste. There is a spirit of new departures prevailing in the industry and current dynamics are overwhelming.\u201d
\n\"\"And the positive mood prevailing at K 2019 was also echoed by concrete demand at exhibition stands: \u201cIt became clear that global demand for innovative machinery and raw materials is particularly high right now, despite the current tensions in world trade or the business climate in some consumer sectors. This year\u2019s K has by far exceeded our expectations and was able to generate key impetus for sustainable governance and new business models,\u201d said Reifenh\u00e4user.
\n\"\"Once again, K was able to score points as a premiere platform where many trend-setting products and applications were presented to the world public for the first time. The innovations were not only admired, but also many concrete negotiations were conducted and contracts signed. \u201cWe found the propensity to invest extremely high and across all nations. In particular, business with new customers was very positive this year. We are also confident about very strong follow-up business,\u201d says Reifenh\u00e4user. For the guests from throughout the world investment in expansion ranked particularly high on the list, especially in extruders and extrusion lines. The survey among visitors also showed that the interest in machinery and equipment for plastics reclamation and recycling is noticeably higher abroad than in Germany.<\/p>\n

\"\"Flexible materials \u2013 rubbers and thermoplastic elastomers (TPE) \u2013 also proved a fixture at K again. Although the elastomer segment has traditionally been smaller than the plastics range at K, there was a surprisingly high number of companies presenting elastomer-specific products and services \u2013 be it raw materials, additives and compounds or special machines and equipment for reclamation and converting.<\/p>\n

The next K D\u00fcsseldorf will be held from 19 to 26 October 2022.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
