Getting your Trinity Audio player ready...

The countdown has begun: precisely one year from now K in Düsseldorf will open its doors to the global plastics and rubber industry from 8 to 15 October 2025.

The preparations for K 2025 in Düsseldorf are in full swing, the exhibition space is already fully booked. Numerous proven and new specials hone in on the motto “The Power of Plastics! Green – Smart – Responsible”. The exhibitor database will go live in January 2025.

From 8 to 15 October the global plastics and rubber industry will come together for its internationally most relevant trade fair in Düsseldorf. Like no other trade fair of this sector, K 2025 will provide the complete overview of this industry’s global ranges – once again guaranteed by the international origin of exhibitors. Enterprises from all continents have registered to offer trade visitors highest-level innovations.

“Next year the Who’s Who of the plastics and rubber industries will be back again in Düsseldorf. 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 Thomas 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 responsibility for people and the planet. This is reflected by both proven and new specials: first and foremost, the official special show “Plastics shape the Future” organised by Plastics Europe Deutschland. 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 dedicated presentation area for as many newcomers as possible who are particularly committed to the development of innovative products and solutions in the fields of plastics and rubber. Start-ups still now have the opportunity to register for the Start-up Zone.

At the Science Campus universities, colleges and institutes will share the latest results of their plastics research. A new concept of the Science Campus allows exhibitors to optionally also take part in the Science Campus Center in addition to participating with their own exhibition stands.

In addition, a new offering is currently being developed for young visitors and career starters with a view to familiarising them with the diversity and appeal of the sector. Beyond this, a networking event will be organised specifically for women in the plastics and rubber industry to promote mutual exchange, strengthen professional networks and give visibility to female leaders in the industry. Both formats will celebrate their premiere at K 2025.
