JEC Group sets the stage for composites materials at upcoming international motor shows

- In its aim to promote composites materials, JEC Group will highlight the latest technologies that enable the automotive industry to innovate in product design, emission reductions and productionIn its mission to address composites end-use industries specifically, JEC Group, the world leading organization for the promotion of composite materials, moves up a gear to target the automotive industry. Introduced many decades ago in car manufacturing, and not only for high-end performance models, composites are now offering many alternatives to steel and aluminum, thanks to their specific features, which go far beyond their lightweight properties.“Today, nearly 2.9 cars are produced and sold worldwide every second. Yet growth potential is still enormous. In value, the automotive industry makes up 20% of the total composites market with promising opportunities for lighter, stronger and more efficient materials in the years to come. They offer new design opportunities, enable a reduction in tooling investment and allow several functions to be integrated in one, on top of their corrosion and impact resistance. Furthermore, composite materials contribute to the development of a new generation of cars, offering innovative battery integration solutions for electric vehicles, as well as a new generation of fuel storage tanks for hydrogen-powered vehicles. JEC Group is moving forward in its strategy to democratize and promote the use of composites materials among end-user segments that, in this case, are OEMs and car manufacturers,” said Ms Frédérique MUTEL, JEC Group President & CEO.▲ The BMW i3 the largest-volume production car ever to extensively use composites for emission-free mobilityWith this in mind, JEC Group will invest in a significant number of composites pavilions at key automotive events in Europe, America and Asia. The first of these will be at Mondial.Tech Paris, part of Paris Motor Show, held on October 2-6, 2018 in Paris. The composites pavilion will include an innovation showcase, expert presentations and networking activities.The second composites pavilion will be at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit on January 14-18, 2019 and will focus on the same goals of sharing knowledge and developing networking.Additional events, particularly in Asia, are being planned to cover the global automotive market.Although the composites pavilions are organized by JEC Group, they will be supported by major composites manufacturers. These combined efforts will enable stands to showcase several solutions provided by composites for the automotive industry, driving innovation in this sector.For more information or application to join the composites stand at Mondial.Tech in Paris or at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit, please contact communications@jeccomposites.com.

Grand Opening of Plast 2018 in Milan!

PLAST 2018-International Exhibition for Plastics and Rubber Industries is taking place at the FieraMilano facilities in Rho-Pero from today, Tuesday, 29 May, to Friday, 1 June 2018.Organized by Promaplast srl, PLAST is the preeminent European event this year for the plastics and rubber industry, embracing the entire production chain from raw materials to semi-finished and finished products, from machinery and equipment to support services.The international scope of this triennial tradeshow, now in its eighteenth edition, again enjoying the sponsorship of the Italian Ministry of Economic Development, is confirmed by the impressive numbers of foreign exhibitors and visitors.Some 1,500 exhibitors have registered for PLAST 2018. Of these, 57% are Italian and 43% foreign, representing 55 countries, covering a total of 55,000 square metres of exhibition space.PLAST reflects the preeminent global position of the Italian plastics and rubber processing machinery, equipment and moulds industry, which forms the core of the exhibition. Over 70% of national production – which set a new all-time record value of 4.67 billion euros in 2017 according to figures from the trade association AMAPLAST – is exported.PLAST 2018 thus offers economic operators a full-spectrum technological showcase addressing all the various production processes (from extrusion to blow-moulding, from thermoforming to injection moulding) and applications (packaging, automotive, medical, construction, etc.).Given the excellent performance of Italian exports in the machinery industry and recovery in the domestic market, participants have every right to expect rewarding business opportunities at PLAST 2018, with their order books swelling significantly directly at the fair.Again this year, PLAST is featuring satellite shows dedicated to three sub-sectors of excellence: RUBBER (in its third edition), 3D PLAST (focusing on additive manufacturing and related technologies, now in its second edition) and PLAST-MAT (first edition, dedicated to innovative plastics).A jam-packed schedule of technical seminars and company meetings has been arranged, providing a full-spectrum view of the latest in materials, processes, machinery and services. These conferences, combined with the breadth of the exhibits, draw in not only professionals working in the field but also young people seeking a place in the job market. As happens at every PLAST, school groups, most of them from technical high schools, are among the crowds in the exhibition halls, getting a first-hand experience of the materials and technologies in the plastics and rubber industry.But that’s not all. In keeping with tradition, the “Art & Plastics” area of PLAST 2018 is featuring a splash of colour, with artists exhibiting works they have created using plastic, providing a further demonstration of the versatility of this material.Thousands of operators have already registered online during the last weeks to visit PLAST 2018. Large numbers have also preregistered to visit the four fairs within The Innovation Alliance (IPACK-IMA, MEAT-TECH, PRINT4ALL, INTRALOGISTICA ITALIA), also expressing interest in visiting PLAST 2018.The large number of expected visitors (at least 150,000 in total for the five events) will be joined by official delegations from some forty countries and all corners of the world, coordinated by ICE-Agenzia and composed of carefully selected qualified operators with interests spanning all sectors represented within The Innovation Alliance.For further information: www.plastonline.org - phone +39 02 8228371
