KPA - Trade fairs for the design, development and procurement of plastic products
Are you looking for development and production partners for your project or for new plastics and materials? Then the KPA plastics trade fairs in Ulm, Bad Salzuflen and Leipzig are the right place for you! The KPA is a working trade fair where you can discuss the feasibility of your project ideas with the exhibiting plastics processors and meet efficient suppliers for your specific projects. Be there at the annual industry get-together for plastic products, which will open up new opportunities for your company!
KPA 2024 - a complete success
It took four years until the KPA could take place again in Ulm after the last trade fair in 2019. The interest of visitors in the southern German industry and procurement platform for plastic products was greater than ever before. Easyfairs exhibitors and organizers can draw a very positive conclusion. 132 exhibitors – plastics processors, material suppliers and service providers for the development and production of plastic products – were pleased to welcome 1,377 trade fair visitors over the two days. The special thing about the KPA concept worked: the exhibitors meet potential customers across all industries at the KPA. KPA visitors come from all industrial sectors that use sophisticated plastic parts: from the automotive industry to medical technology and furniture manufacturers to mechanical engineering. The next KPA will take place again on February 28th and 29th, 2024 at the Ulm Messe.
