The 30th Fakuma international trade fair for plastics processing will take place in just less than two years with new event scheduling: The anniversary event will take place in Friedrichshafen from Monday the 12th through Friday the 16th of October, 2026, from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. “This has been agreed upon together with the Fakuma exhibitor advisory board,” reports Bettina Schall, managing director of trade fair promoters P. E. Schall. “All involved parties spoke out in favour of conducting an exhibitor survey regarding event scheduling at the last meeting with the exhibitor advisory board. The result was unequivocal: the majority voted in favour of revised scheduling for the trade fair,” explains Bettina Schall. “We look forward to opening the great family celebration of the plastics processing industry already on Monday in just less than two years!”

The 29th Fakuma in October 2024 was a great success with 1,639 exhibitors, 47.5 percent of whom came from outside of Germany, and provided fresh impetus for the future. “After the trade fair is before the trade fair — for the exhibitors as well,” says Annemarie Schur, Fakuma Project Manager at trade fair promoters P. E. Schall. “That’s why so many companies have already booked their booth locations and registered for the 2026 and 2027 trade fairs,” explains Schur. Lots of valuable customer contacts and good discussions between suppliers and users, as well as world-class, well-attended supplementary events including a forum, a round table discussion and a career day made Fakuma 2024 a complete success. “All of the participants continue to build on this momentum and have already started preparing for the trade fair in 2026,” affirms the Project Manager.
