Kraiburg TPE announces its participation in Plast 2026, which will take place on June 9-12, 2026 at Fiera Milano. For the manufacturer and supplier of thermoplastic elastomers, its presence at the Milan event has significance that goes beyond standard trade fair activity. The company highlights its long-standing business relationships with customers in Italy, which make this market one of the most important in Europe. According to the company, Italy is its second-largest European market after Germany. A broad service network is intended to maintain close contact with customers across various regions and industry segments, especially the automotive industry. Plast, held every three years, is one of the longest-running and most important trade fairs for the plastics industry in Europe. The event was launched in 1964 in connection with the European Plastics Congress and attracts broad industry attention in the years in which it is held.
Presentation of the full portfolio
The long, three-year trade fair cycle means that exhibitors focus not only on current developments, but also on presenting their product and service offering as comprehensively as possible during the four days of the event. In the case of Kraiburg TPE, this means an emphasis on a comprehensive presentation of the company’s capabilities as a materials supplier for various processing sectors and technical applications.
Luca Triglia, Sales Manager Italy at Kraiburg TPE, said: "For us, as material experts, the main goal at Plast is to present ourselves as a company that can meet the increasing requirements of today's markets, both regionally and globally. This of course includes the specific services we provide for our customers in our core industries. Looking at the bigger picture, however, we also want to emphasize general plastics topics as well as the issue of sustainability. When it comes to direct contact with our customers in the region, our exceptional commitment to service and quality is a key advantage. Our Italian partners in particular really appreciate the fact that we are able to provide them with personal support at every location in their country."
Sustainability and recycling
The company states that its development activities extend far beyond the traditional boundaries of individual industrial sectors. Many years of experience in core markets such as automotive, consumer goods, industry and medical technology are intended to enable targeted synergies between different application areas.
At the same time, the diversified research and development division has expertise in the development and adaptation of compounds to specific customer requirements. According to the company, this makes it possible to address even complex expectations regarding material solutions.
Lucia Triglia emphasized: "We are particularly proud of the progress we have made since the last Plast in the areas of sustainability and recycling." As the company indicates, this includes, among other things, a new recycling-based product range intended for automotive OEMs and suppliers. These solutions are to cover a broad range of applications, and some products contain more than 75 percent recycled materials. The relevant material series cover a hardness range from 20 to 95 Shore A and are intended for numerous interior, exterior and powertrain applications.
At the triennial trade fair, the TPE manufacturer is focusing primarily on the diversity of its product and service portfolio
