K MESSE

The most vital event for the rubber and plastics industry

The international plastics and rubber trade fair K MESSE have been at the foreground of innovation and groundbreaking advancements in processing and manufacturing. The international exhibition is an opportunity for the professional community to come together and exchange experience and expertise through programming like special shows, discussions, forums, keynote speeches and the VDMA Circular Economy Forum.

K MESSE first entered the scene in 1953 and has acted as one of the biggest and most important procurement platforms for the industry on a global scale. Trade visitors gain access to the full value chain – rubber and plastic raw materials, additives, processing technologies, thermoplastics, and machinery for welding and processing.

K MESSE 2025 Update

The 2025 edition of K Messe has been scheduled to run without any delay from 08.10.2025 to 15.10.2025 at the Messe Düsseldorf in Düsseldorf, Germany.

K MESSE arrives once only every three years and editions usually run the course of eight days in total, sometime in October. The city – Düsseldorf, Germany. The international trade fair is the brainchild of Messe Düsseldorf, which is also the host venue, and admission is given to only trade visitors. Working hours are from 10:00 am until 18:30 pm for each and every day, though changes may be introduced as the official program is finalised.

If you are to commute to Düsseldorf, you have several options. The easiest is to get to it by car and there are sufficient parking spaces. There is also a tram (U78 and U79) and bus (722) in addition to shuttle services from the airport.

K MESSE delivers the promise of growth, which can be seen in the record-breaking turnout during this last edition. The number of exhibitors grew to over 3300 and the audience swelled to the truly impressive 224,000 international trade visitors from 165 countries. There is real interest in the K MESSE brand time and time.

What certainly will appeal to exhibitors is the fact that roughly 76% of all visitors have decision-making capabilities, as they occupy chiefly top management positions. This certainly widens the pool of potential buyers who you might bring to your booth. Roughly 60% of all visitors come from Europe, then followed by 25% from Asia and 13% from America.

A look into the professional background of visitors reveals that everyone involved alongside the value chain makes it a point to visit – chemical industry, vehicle construction, electronics, sports and leisure, ICT, packaging and distribution, medical technology and photovoltaics.

K MESSE 2022

K MESSE 2022 exceeded the organisers' expectations. It was held in Messe Dusseldorf from October 19th to October 26th, 2022, and did not include Covid-19 safety measures due to the country lifting its pandemic-related limitations. The edition attracted over 3,000 exhibitors from 60 nations and 176,000 visitors from 157 countries. 70% of the visitors were from abroad and were either top or middle management. During K MESSE 2022, 98% of attendees reached their business objectives.
