KPA Bad Salzuflen 2026 Trade fair review
With 402 exhibitors at KUTENO and 110 exhibitors at KPA, as well as a total of 4,470 trade visitors, both fairs recorded solid results in 2026.
The high quality of the conversations, numerous valuable new contacts, and the positive atmosphere in the halls brought smiles to exhibitors and visitors alike. The strong participation underlines the importance of both events as key meeting points for the plastics industry.
Especially wonderful: exhibitors, visitors, partners, speakers, and supporters who, with their dedication, ideas, and exchanges, brought our fairs to life.
Thank you for helping make the trade fair duo what it is: an industry meeting point on equal terms with a family-like atmosphere and a warm, open interaction.

„The KPA is staffed with very interesting providers and contacts, very easy to reach, with plenty of free parking available. Small meeting corners allow for online appointments or phone calls in between.
“The fair was a nice size and wasn’t unnecessarily 'inflated.' There were a lot of interesting exhibitors on site. The catering was also excellent and hassle-free. Keep it up!”
"It was another two successful days in Ulm. A well-organized and straightforward fair with charm. A real added value for the industry."
"As first-time exhibitors at the KPA, we are very happy with the response. With little effort, we achieved maximum benefit."

KUTENO & KPA – Together in the market – individual trade fair profile
With KUTENO and KPA, Easyfairs offers two trade fair concepts specifically aimed at regional visitor groups in the plastics industry.
KUTENO is the compact supplier trade fair covering the entire processing chain of plastics. The focus here is mainly on machinery, components, technical solutions, and materials. The trade visitors are decision-makers and experts from the plastics processing industry.
KPA takes a step further along the value chain. Plastics processors and material suppliers showcase their expertise to a cross-industry audience from the sectors that use plastic products.
What both have in common is the organizational concept of the fair, featuring limited-size system booths, communication areas in the halls with complimentary catering, and the modern marketing tools typical of Easyfairs events.
Discover KUTENO – the efficient supplier fair for the plastics processing industry
