| Composites Europe  200 exhibitors from more than 20 countries have registered for participation in the second COMPOSITES EUROPE which will open its gates from 6 to 8 November 2007 at the premises of Neue Messe in Stuttgart. The international trade fair accompanied by a Forum will present the entire value creation chain of the composites industry – from the raw material to semi-finished, finished and intermediate products to technologies and services. With a large number of special events such as workshops, live demonstrations and the accompanying AVK Conference, COMPOSITES EUROPE has succeeded in developing into Germany's biggest B2B platform in its second year already.On a surface of more than 400 sqm, a special show at the Product Demonstration Area will present examples of practical applications and highlights. In cooperation with the Institute for Plastics Processing of the Aachen Technical Universityand AVK, COMPOSITES EUROPE will show the material's progress from the raw material to the end product, as well as a number of productions processes, from injection moulding to pultrusion in live demonstrations. In a number of experimental settings, the advantages of composites over other materials will be demonstrated in direct comparison. First hand know-how is what visitors will find at the Presentation Area. In a programme of lectures, exhibitors will report on innovative production processes. Experts will give an overview of the most important trends in the industry, production processes and new areas of application. Workshops held every day will focus on the application areas "Automotive", "Building & Construction", "Aerospace" and "Marine". Renewable resources are steadily gaining in importance, also in the field of reinforced plastics. The area of wood plastics composites, in particular, is recording a boom in demand. For the first time, COMPOSITES EUROPE will feature a special WPC Pavilion, which will provide information on WPC applications in the automotive, building and furniture fields. To complement the service, the NOVA Institute, a leading consulting company in the area of renewable resources, will be present at the fair. Together with partners from the industry, NOVA Institute will present the latest developments and results in natural fibre injection moulding. The opener of COMPOSITES EUROPE will once again be the International Conference of the AVK – Industrievereinigung Verstärkte Kunststoffe e.V. From 5 bis 6 November, some 500 international convention delegates are expected. Altogether 29 speakers will deal with the variety of new composite applications in a large number of sectors such as transport, wind energy, rooftop, aerospace and submarine construction. Processes, testing and materials will also be the subjects of critical analysis. The AVK Conference is Europe's most comprehensive conference on the subject area of "Reinforced Plastics and Engineering Thermosets ". write your comments about the article :: © 2007 Exhibition News :: home page |
