The 28th Fakuma international trade fair for plastics pro- cessing is being eagerly awaited by all industry players, be- cause the world’s leading trade fair for the injection moul- ding sector promises new impetus in numerous areas. The trade fair highlight is regarded as a technology barometer for the fields of extrusion technology, thermoforming and 3D printing. Once again this year, the flagship event will focus on the challenges of digitalisation, process auto- mation, energy efficiency and circular economy. Another important objective of Fakuma involves the presentation of plastics processing in the intelligently networked factory of tomorrow.
The trade fair showcases technological trends and their implementation in series production. Amongst other fac- tors, Fakuma’s success is based on creating a link bet- ween science and business, direct practical relevance,
high levels of internationalism and a clear-cut thematic profile. But the trade fair is also distinguished by its sharp focus on aspects including the plastics life cycle, recycla- ble designs and recycling technologies. Fakuma 2023 will once again demonstrate that the highly complex subject of plastics can be incorporated into climate protection and circular economy, and that it’s future-oriented in a very special way. The exhibitors are working on the challen- ges of circular economy and sustainability with tremendous innovative drive and dynamics. Manufacturers and users are focusing on making plastics production and processing as sustainable as possible. Climate and envi- ronmental protection are thus also indispensable, essen- tial themes at Fakuma.
