COMPOSITES EUROPE will turn the Stuttgart Exhibition Centre into the meeting place for the international composites industry and its application sectors from 17 to 19 September.

Good future prospects for the composites industry with strong growth opportunities in the carbon fibre (CFP) and glass-fibre reinforced plastics (GFRP) segments: the recent market survey which was also the first to be jointly conducted by the German composites organisations and associations AVK, Carbon Composites, VDMA Forum Composite Technology and CFK Valley paints a positive picture of the industry.

With more than 400 exhibitors from 28 countries the trade fair registers a new record in exhibition surface at its eighth edition. The list of exhibitors ranges from the leading suppliers and processors of composite materials to mechanical engineering companies and research institutes through to the large industry networks.

Among them are: key industry players like BASF, Evonik, SGL, Lange + Ritter, Rampf Tooling, Toray, Saertex, Gaugler & Lutz, Johns Manville KraussMaffei or Schuler SMG. Networks like the European industry association EuCIA, the VDMA Forum Composite Technology or Carbon Composites are also present and will bring many member companies to Stuttgart

A large number of renowned first-time exhibitors have also registered for participation in COMPOSITES EUROPE 2013, including Dow Europe, Chromaflo Technologies or CCP Composites from France.

The well-booked national pavilions such as the Italian, American, Chinese, French and Dutch joint stands also demonstrate the importance COMPOSITES EUROPE has meanwhile achieved for the international composites industry.

Especially the key technologies for the composites applications markets such as the automotive, aviation, wind energy and building sectors are coming into focus at the trade fair.

This is also apparent in the international lecture programme and the live demonstrations which complement the exhibition sector of COMPOSITES EUROPE.
