17th KUNSTSTOFF-DIA(hr)LOG® on May 05 and 06, 2026

“Global pressure, regional responses: Local for Local.”

Look forward to an intensive and practice-oriented exchange at the 17th KUNSTSTOFF-DIA(hr)LOG® 2026, addressing key issues facing the plastics industry in the context of “Global pressure, regional responses: Local for Local.” You can expect well-founded expert presentations on current challenges in the European chemical industry, on deglobalization trends and their impact on value chains, as well as on sustainable, locally oriented production strategies.

You will gain in-depth insights into future-oriented materials for electromobility, for example with regard to weld lines, flame retardancy, and corrosion behavior, as well as into innovative applications such as plastic battery housings for the global EV market. In addition, you will learn about practical approaches to AI-based process optimization through the use of synchronized production and quality data, and explore closed-loop concepts ranging from end-of-life vehicles to high-performance polyamide components.

As usual, the lecture program will be accompanied by live demonstrations and the opportunity to visit our production facilities. Take the opportunity to exchange ideas with fellow experts, network and discuss the future of our industry.

Participation fees: Participation in the event and the evening program is free of charge. After your registration you will automatically receive a provisional confirmation of participation. A final confirmation of participation will be sent to you by e-mail within the next few weeks.

Location: AKRO-PLASTIC GmbH, Am Stiefelfeld 1, 56651 Niederzissen
