The K-Fair 2022 is coming...

In the same year in which Queen Elizabeth II ascended the throne, the first artificial heart valve was implanted in the US and the musical "Singin' in the Rain" drew millions of people to the cinema, history was also made in Germany with the first edition of the K-fair, held in Düsseldorf in 1952. At the time, no one could have guessed, that this barely-started event would grow into the world's leading trade fair for the plastics and rubber industry.

Today, the K fair in Düsseldorf can look back on a 70-year success story. It is the plastics and rubber industry's most relevant information and business platform worldwide. Its position as the leading trade fair for the entire industry, where themes and innovation go hand in hand and pave the way for visions for the future, is undisputed.

On no other platform is internationality as high as in Düsseldorf. Around 3,000 exhibitors from 61 countries are expected for K 2022 from 19 to 26 October and the Düsseldorf trade fair centre is fully booked.

Even before K 2022 opens its doors, there will be an opportunity to get in the mood for the trade fair's anniversary. Messe Düsseldorf is celebrating the K fair with its own microsite, which invites you to dive into seven decades of K history and view historical photos and stories with a smile and wonder.
