Fakuma 2012 to showcase world-class plastic processing technologies

The FAKUMA international trade fair for plastics is considered one of the world’s most important plastics trade fair . Scheduled to take place at the Friedrichshafen Exhibition Centre from 16 to 20 October, 2012. The show has evolved into a Mecca of the European plastics industry in the non-“K” years. With its venue in Friedrichshafen, it’s located at the heart of the industry’s European centre and offers world-class, comprehensive offerings covering all aspects of injection moulding technology – and in this area FAKUMA is plainly the world’s number one trade fair – as well as extrusion and thermoforming, for which the event also plays a leading role. Whether raw materials, processing machines, peripherals, automation solutions or C technology is involved – FAKUMA functions as a source of information and ideas, and as a trend barometer, at the same time retaining its very special, personal and relaxed atmosphere.  

The show’s 2011 edition is by far the largest trade fair for plastics in the German speaking countries in that year. For 2012, FAKUMA will again demonstrate the unified efforts of the plastics industry in the conservation of resources, lightweight design engineering and energy efficiency that are currently the central issues which will provide the industry with enormous opportunities for the future.  

With the tremendous potential offered by its outstanding market position, FAKUMA 2012 will support all market players as a world-class industry meeting place, “plastics technology ambassador” and “trailblazer for solutions with plastics”. Forward-looking forums, workshops and special shows will round out the spectrum of offerings at FAKUMA 2012 in the usual, time-tested manner.
