“COMPOSITES EUROPE has developed very well and is becoming more and more important for us. In particular, the automotive industry is represented well on the part of the visitors, among them this year there will also be all renowned manu-facturers from Japan such as Toyota, Honda and Nissan. The economic growth perspectives for Evonik in the field of composites are very good; we expect a two-digit growth for our market segment.”

Dr. Stephan Sprenger, Senior Market Development Manager Composites and Lightweight Construction, Evonik Hanse GmbH, COMPOSITES EUROPE 2014

LARGEST COMPOSITES MARkETIN THE INDUSTRIAL HEART OF EUROPE

The European composites market is on course for growth.

Germany is Europe’s number 1 in the composites business and the strongest driver of growth.

COMPOSITES EUROPE takes place annually, alternating between Düsseldorf and Stuttgart and is thereby hosted by two important industrial locations.

2016 back in Düsseldorf again. The economic area of Düsseldorf is one of the most research-intensive locations in Germany.

With an export quota of over 46 %, Düsseldorf’s industry is strongly involved, to an above-average extent, in the global economy.*

Out of all the big cities in the region of North Rhine-Westphalia, Düsseldorf is one of the most significant industrial locations.

The world of materials in one place – co-located to the world’s leading trade fair ALUMINIUM 2016. Visitors have the opportunity to visit both trade fairs with one ticket.

Profit from the good connection to Messe Düsseldorf – by car, bus & train or plane.

COMPLETE PROCESS CHAIN –

RANGE OF TOPICS

“For ENGEL it was a premiere at COMPOSITES EUROPE – and it was a good decision to exhibit here. We met all the OEMs that are important for us. For us, the trade fair is the right event to establish ourselves on the composites market.”

Peter Egger, Area Leader Technology Centre for Light Construction Composites, ENGEL AUSTRIA GmbH, COMPOSITES EUROPE 2014

“For KraussMaffei, COMPOSITES EUROPE is an important trade fair which gives us a clear picture of how the market works. Also this year, the majority of visitors came to our booth with specific project ideas. It was certainly the developments at BMW which opened the doors for the boom in the composites industry. The RTM procedure showed that fibre-reinforced plastics can also be produced in high volumes. However, today the demand is not limited to duroplastic matrix systems. Thermoplastic solutions are clearly up and coming and open up com-pletely new opportunities with regard to cost optimisation, functionalisation or recyclability.”
