Show Introduction

K Show is universally acknowledged as the world’s leading exhibition for plastics and rubber industries. Founded in 1952 and held triennially, it serves as the global trend barometer for the plastics & rubber sector. The fair covers the full industrial chain of plastics and rubber, centering on five key directions: circular economy, bio-based materials, low-carbon processing, plastic recycling and digital intelligent manufacturing.Each edition gathers over 3,000 leading enterprises from more than 60 countries, attracting over 240,000 professional buyers, manufacturers, raw material traders and system integrators from automotive, packaging, medical, electronics and construction sectors. Driven by EU plastic circular regulations, demand for biodegradable materials, plastic recycling machinery and energy-saving injection moulding equipment keeps rising. Concurrent events include global plastics summits, circular economy seminars, new technology launches and cross-border business matchmaking.Chinese exhibitors maintain a prominent presence. This fair is the top platform for Chinese suppliers of injection moulding machines, extrusion lines, moulds, modified plastics and recycling equipment to develop high-end markets in Europe and America, and connect with large downstream manufacturers for auto components, food packaging and medical consumables.
