JEC World, said to be the largest international composites show, opened at the new Paris Nord Villepinte venue for the first time.
With a total surface of 62,000sqm, 1,300 exhibitors and 36,946 professional visits in attendance, one of the show’s new features consisted of the “Planets”, four new display areas totalling more than 1,800sqm.
Each ‘Planet’ addressed a specific end-user market (the Aero Planet, the Auto Planet sponsored by Hexion, the Sports Planet and the Sustainable Planet). Attendees could see, touch and experience composite parts, observe demos, and ask questions about the innovations.
JEC group president and CEO Mrs Frédérique Mutel said: “The JEC teams have indeed done a wonderful job at presenting composites to the world in the most impressive way,” she said.
“An enormous range of products and technologies were presented, shared and showcased at JEC World 2016. Composite materials continue to become more widespread. In a world where energy savings and recyclability are sought, composites seem to stand out as one of the best answers. Innovative solutions must be found for current and upcoming challenges in terms of higher performance, lower weight, reduced costs and processing time, and of course, addressing the pressing matters of environmental concerns.”
JEC World ran from 8-10 March.
