Stuttgart, 12.12.2023 – The Foamed Plastics and Polyurethanes Association (FSK) was once again represented with its own stand at Foam Expo Europe in Stuttgart this year. The international trade fair for the technical foam industry took place for the fourth time at the Stuttgart Exhibition Center.
“The exhibition grows in importance every time – and not just for us. This year, the number of exhibitors has increased once again,” says FSK Managing Director Klaus Junginger. The trade fair now comprises more than 200 companies presenting a wide range of foam and foam-related products. It is a unique opportunity for participants to discuss the latest materials, components and technologies available on the market.
The event was held alongside Adhesives & Bonding Expo Europe, providing synergies as there are thousands of unique engineered foam applications that require very specific adhesives, tapes or sealants. In addition, Thermal Management Expo Europe (new for 2023) also took place in parallel as industries such as automotive, aerospace, electronics and many more require some of their materials in foam, adhesives and tapes to be thermally conductive or provide cooling solutions. Visitors and attendees were also able to attend the free conferences addressing the key trends and challenges facing the engineered foam, adhesives and thermal insulation sectors in Europe and globally.
The association also used the largest event for technical foam on the continent to make new contacts. “The trade fair is an enrichment for our association’s work and a good opportunity to hold valuable discussions with a broad audience and numerous companies and to make important contacts,” Junginger continues. “Our training courses on the safe handling of diisocyanates are an important starting point for many discussions. Despite the deadline in August of this year, we have noticed that there is still a great need for information and advice.”
The FSK Converter Network also met at the trade fair. The meeting of the FSK’s youngest specialist group has already become a permanent fixture at the trade fair. Members of the network and the association also exhibited at the trade fair and used the important industry meeting for their end-of-year meeting in a relaxed atmosphere for important discussions.
