We are very pleased that even companies who had suspended their participation in 2022 as a consequence of the pandemic, are now back on board again,” says Tho- mas Franken, Director K, Portfolio Plastics & Rubber. The conversations on stand space allocation are currently underway before the K 2025 exhibitor database goes live. At K 2025 under the heading “The Power of Plastics! Green – Smart – Responsible” the focus will be just as much on trends and innovations related to the circular economy and digitalisation as on the re- sponsibility for people and the planet.

Also presenting a comprehensive forum on the outdoor premises again will be the VDMA – this time entitled “The Power of Plastics”. The Start-up Zone successfully debuted at the last K. It will also be continued in 2025 and expanded to provide a dedicat- ed presentation area for as many new- comers as possible who are particularly committed to the development of inno- vative products and solutions in the fields of plastics and rubber. Start-ups still now have the opportunity to register for the Start-up Zone.
