Behn Meyer at Fakuma 2017 in Friedrichshafen, Germany
After years of steady growth, Fakuma has risen to prominence as a major trade fair for plastics processing in Germany, welcoming important suppliers of injection molding machines, extruders, raw materials and additives for the plastics processing industry.
2017 marks the 25th anniversary of Fakuma. Naturally, this momentous occasion presented a prime opportunity for Behn Meyer to make its debut at the trade fair, which took place from 17 – 21 October in Friedrichshafen, Germany.
Over the course of 5 days, Fakuma 2017 hosted 1889 exhibitors — 783 of whom came from outside of Germany — as well as 48,375 visitors from 128 different countries. For this trade fair, Behn Meyer Europe GmbH joined as co-exhibitor with our principal supplier Auserpolimeri S.r.l., Italy. Behn Meyer Europe GmbH is the distributor of Compoline® modifiers manufactured by Auserpolimeri, covering the German market for applications in cable compounds, engineering compounds and wood plastic composites.
Swept up in the pleasant atmosphere, our booth welcomed a steady stream of visitors — not only our regular customers, but also many new and interesting contacts with whom we were eager to discuss and present solutions according to their needs and requests.
We had an excellent time at Fakuma 2017, and we look forward to joining in the activities again in late 2018.
