On 7–8 October 2026, the 14th edition of the International Trade Fair for Composite Materials, Technologies and Products Kompozyt-Expo will take place. It is one of the most important industry events in Poland dedicated to advanced materials and manufacturing technologies. The organisers emphasise that for years the fair has been a key platform for the exchange of knowledge, experience and innovation, bringing together industrial, scientific and R&D communities. The event is addressed to specialists interested in the development of composite technologies, including companies from the plastics processing sector for which composites represent a growing area of application.
Scope and participant profile
Kompozyt-Expo brings together market leaders, manufacturers of composite materials and semi-finished products, suppliers of technologies, machinery and process solutions, as well as engineers, designers and specialists looking for efficient and modern solutions for demanding sectors of the economy. The exhibits include raw materials and prepregs, finished products and composite components, as well as equipment for their production, machining and quality control.
The technologies presented at the fair are used, among others, in the aerospace, automotive, rail, defence, energy, construction and sports industries. In these sectors, key material performance parameters such as low weight, strength, stiffness and durability translate into structural efficiency and optimisation of material and energy consumption.
Technical forum and exchange of experience
The event is not only a space for presenting the latest composite products and technologies, but also a technical forum that supports discussions on market trends, the development of future materials and the optimisation of production processes. The organisers point to the importance of expert meetings, which make it possible to analyse the direction of industry development, compare different technological solutions and exchange best practices in the design and processing of composites.
An important component of the fair is also the role that Kompozyt-Expo plays in building relations between science and industry. The event provides a space for presenting research results and solutions developed in R&D units together with their potential industrial applications. This facilitates knowledge and technology transfer, as well as the initiation of joint R&D and implementation projects involving companies, universities and institutes.
Importance for the development of composite technologies
Kompozyt-Expo 2026 is aimed at entities that want to keep up to date with developments in composite technologies, are looking for innovative material solutions and plan to actively participate in shaping the future of industry. This applies both to manufacturers of end products and to suppliers of materials, machinery and engineering services for whom composites are an important part of their portfolio.
The presence of representatives from many sectors of the economy promotes interdisciplinary exchange of experience and the search for new application areas for composite materials. In the context of increasing requirements regarding material and energy efficiency, and the drive to reduce the mass of structures, composite technologies are gaining importance as a complement or alternative to traditional engineering materials, including metals and conventional thermoplastics.
