Taipei International Machine Tool Show, widely known as Timtos will be held from March 6 to 11 at Taipei Nangang Exhibition Center Hall 1 & 2 and TWTC Hall 1. With 1,000+ exhibitors in nearly 6,200 booths, an even larger scale than 2022, the 2023 event will stand robust as one of the leading machine tool trade shows in the world.

Messe Düsseldorf is introducing “K Assistant”, an AI-powered chatbot that supports exhibitors and visitors with personalised, multilingual information — from hall plans to service details — ensuring smooth preparation and an optimal trade fair experience at K 2025.

Messe Düsseldorf is consolidating its global trade fair activities for the plastics and rubber industry under the new umbrella brand K-Alliance. In addition to the flagship event K in Düsseldorf, the brand brings together a growing network of international trade fairs.

From 8 to 15 October 2025, K in Düsseldorf will once again be the central stage for the international plastics and rubber industry. Around 3,200 exhibitors from 66 countries will present innovative solutions, forward-looking products and impressive machines in live operation.

Networking made easy: With the new ‘Fair Match’ tool, K 2025 offers exhibitors and visitors smart matchmaking before, during and after the trade fair. Personalised contact suggestions, integrated chat and year-round access via the K app ensure efficient and lasting business connections.

To reduce manufacturing costs and boost efficiency, Schaltbau automated the de-flashing of plastic housings at its Bavarian plant using a Rösler wire mesh belt blast machine, cutting personnel needs by 40 percent while ensuring gentle, Atex-compliant processing.

The manufacturer of injection moulded components ROS, is increasingly producing work pieces from duroplast and thermoplast materials that were previously made from metal. Therefore, the capacity for de-flashing these components had to be increased. For this purpose, the customer chose a shot blasting solution from Rösler.

Exhibition space at K 2025 is in high demand the world over. Under the motto: The Power of Plastics! Green — Smart — Responsible the coming K will focus on the industry’s relevant fields of action: Circular Economy, Digitalisation and Social Responsibility.

Earlier this year the committees of K 2025 chose the motto for the coming K in Düsseldorf, The international trade fair for plastics and rubber, from 8 to 15 October 2025. It consists of one slogan and three core messages, all focusing on the key topics of K in 2025: The Power of Plastics! Green — Smart — Responsible.

Get ready for K 2025 in Düsseldorf! The international plastics and rubber industry's most important trade fair will take place from October 8 to 15, 2025. Registration is now open until May 31, 2024.
