Trade fair profile

Trade fairs for the design, development and procurement of plastic products

At the KPA trade fairs in Ulm and Bad Salzuflen, a diverse range of plastics processors, material suppliers and service providers showcase their expertise and services in the areas of product development and production. The working and trade fairs provide an ideal opportunity for decision-makers to discuss the feasibility of their project ideas directly with exhibitors. For their specific projects, they can identify new partners, experts and efficient suppliers. The KPA fairs are distinguished by their excellent industry contacts, facilitated by the proximity of the regions and the strong industrial presence in Southern and Northern Germany.

For exhibitors, the KPA fairs offer an effective and compact platform for sales. The pleasant and informal atmosphere provides a unique exhibition experience. The all-inclusive concept minimises the organisational effort and allows for time and cost-efficient participation.

KPA und KUTENO Standortkarte

KUTENO & KPA - Together in the market - individual trade fair profile

With KUTENO and KPA, Easyfairs offers two trade fair concepts for the plastics industry that are tailored to regional visitor groups.

KUTENO is the compact supplier fair for the entire plastics processing chain. The focus here is primarily on machines, components, technical solutions and materials. The trade visitors are decision-makers and experts from the plastics processing industry.

KPA positions itself one step further along the value chain. Plastics processors and material suppliers present their expertise to a cross-sector audience from the user industries of plastic products.

Common to both is the organisational trade fair concept with system stands limited in size, communication areas in the halls with free catering and the modern marketing tools specific to Easyfairs trade fairs.
