Fakuma 2024 in Friedrichshafen was once again a highlight for the plastics industry and attracted over 1,600 exhibitors from all over the world, who presented their latest innovations in twelve exhibition halls. The focus was on topics such as digitalisation, artificial intelligence (AI), the circular economy and energy efficiency, reflecting the current challenges and future trends in the industry.
This year’s trade fair was a particular success for VTW. Its joint highlight with SAVYA, an innovative turnkey solution, met with great interest. This solution involved close cooperation with the renowned injection moulding machine manufacturer ENGEL, which provided the injection moulding machine for the presentation. The combination of state-of-the-art machine technology with an integrated system solution illustrated how advanced automation can increase efficiency in plastics processing.
In addition, VTW presented its servo IMC mould at the Arburg stand, which generated a lot of enthusiasm among the trade fair visitors. The live demonstrations showed just how precise and energy-efficient modern injection moulding technology is today.
Fakuma 2024 also offered exciting discussion rounds and presentations on the major industry topics. A panel of experts shed light on the role of digitalisation in plastics processing and assessed its potential to increase efficiency and promote sustainability. The use of circular economy was also a key topic as the industry strives to use sustainable materials and minimise waste.
Overall, Fakuma 2024 was a major industry meeting place where innovation, networking and forward-thinking ideas took centre stage. Companies like VTW use this platform to present their latest developments and lead plastics processing into a sustainable, digital future.
