Seven months ahead of the week-long international plastics processing trade show, Fakuma 2015 has sold out.

Fakuma Project Manager Annemarie Lipp has confirmed that every hall at the Friedrichshafen Messe - in addition to all ancillary floor space - has been sold out since February.
High levels of steady business and optimistic prospects for growth this year, along with an internationally receptive marketplace, has paved the way for the key event in the plastics processing calendar. Indeed, the GKV (general association for the plastics processing industry), has not only broken last year's record turnover amounting to just under €60 billion (£43 billion), while business has also grown at above average rates in nearly all sectors.
Therefore, hopes are high for months to come, particularly due to the fact manufacturers and distributors have conducted thorough research into all the challenges facing plastics in Europe and further afield.
Equipped with expertise and know-how for both standalone and complete solutions in all areas of injection moulding, extrusion and thermoforming technology, the entire plastics processing industry is displaying great confidence, claim Fakuma organisers. This industry-wide shift in confidence is reflected in Fakuma's record-breaking participation.
“Fakuma has been entirely booked out since the end of February: all available halls and ancillary floor space at the Friedrichshafen Exhibition Centre are once again fully occupied. Due to the fact that Fakuma is held twice every three years and will thus not take place in 2016, many manufacturers and distributors wanted to take advantage of the opportunity of participating in the continuing boom for plastic products, or of profiting from substitution options through the use of new plastics and composites," stated Lipp.
EPPM will be on-site at Fakuma yet again as a media associate. If you are planning a big announcement for the show, make sure your voice is heard through EPPM.
