Moulding Expo (MEX) is extending its accompanying programme, with effect from 2019.

A three-day Forum for plastic products will be held concurrently with the International Trade Fair for Tool, Pattern and Mould Making.

Positioned at the Entrance East, 80 exhibitors will initially have their stands on a total area of 1,400 square metres.

Already 40 percent of the exhibition space has been booked.

Organisers of the event believe the joint exhibition area for plastic products is a pioneering addition to the trade fair landscape of Moulding Expo since it follows the "ready-to-go" principle of low-cost exhibition stands, allowing exhibitors to take the leap into the trade fair business to open another sales channel.

Florian Niethammer, Project Manager for MEX, said: "The new Forum for Plastic Products will enable us to bring together even more decision-makers who can jointly increase their potential through the combination of complementary competencies and information.”
