The next edition of JEC World 2021, the composite industry trade fair, which was scheduled from March 8-10, 2022, has been postponed. The continued impact of the COVID-19 pandemic has forced the JEC World team to postpone the show. The expo provides an overview of the value chain, from raw-material producers to processors, from processors to users.

Amidst growing concern among its exhibitors and partners surrounding the critical situation of the COVID-19 restrictive measures and other limitations in place in many countries, the JEC World team has decided to work on a new timeline to hold the next edition of the event in the best conditions in 2022. Thus, JEC World exhibitors were asked to respond to a survey offering two new dates to determine which one would suit them the most. It appeared that 89 per cent of respondents favoured holding the next JEC World session from March 8-10, 2022, according to a media statement by JEC.

“The coronavirus pandemic situation has taken the central stage, so in light of the current situation, it would not be possible for us to satisfy our customers’ requirements for such an international trade fair as JEC World. We truly regret having to make this difficult decision once again. However, we are all committed, starting today, to deliver the best JEC World experience to our clients in 2022. While waiting for welcoming the international composites community back to Paris in March 2022, the JEC team is preparing various online Rendez-Vous in June enabling the entire composites community to discover trends and innovations, and to connect,” Eric Pierrejean, CEO of JEC said in a statement.
