For the second time in its history, Unipetrol will take part in the world’s premier fair for the plastics and rubber industry, K Fair 2019, to be held in Düsseldorf, Germany, between October 16 and 23, 2019. Unipetrol will present its key products in a presentation entitled ‘We shape the world around you’. Unipetrol will showcase its products and solutions together with Poland’s Anwil, which is also part of the international group, PKN Orlen.
“The K Fair is the most prestigious trade fair in our industry in Europe, which is our key export market. In addition to strengthening the existing relationships with our business partners, we want to address new customers and to reinforce our position on the international market,” said Maciej Libiszewski, Vice Chair of the Board of Directors of Unipetrol, adding: “Visitors to the fair will have an opportunity to see our key products in whose development and production we keep investing major resources.”
In Düsseldorf, Unipetrol will present a wide array of petrochemical products, including high-density polyethylene Liten, polypropylene Mosten, electro-conductive carbon black Chezacarb or Neralit produced at Spolana Neratovice. A generous double deck exhibition stand will be located in Hall 7A.
The focus of this year’s fair will be on four key topics:
• Plastics for Sustainable Development and Circular Economy
• Digitisation and Plastics Industry 4.0
• Systems Integration: Functionality of Materials, Processes and Design
• Young Professionals
The K Fair is one of the major industry trade fairs in the world. It is held in Düsseldorf every three years and it has been held here since 1952. Three years ago, the fair saw the presentations of 3,293 exhibitors from 61 countries and attracted more than 232,000 visitors.
