K 2025: Innovations for a more digital and sustainable polymer industry

Our trade fair highlights at a glance:

  • Greater flexibility thanks to our own compounding capacities: Our portfolio of polymers ranges from established materials to sustainable alternatives – and is designed to provide the right solution for every application. With the upcoming expansion of our compounding capacities in Velen, Germany, we are taking the next step: greater flexibility, additional in-house expertise, and an even broader range of full-service offerings.
     
  • Digital solutions for efficiency and sustainability: Our digital customer portal was particularly popular. It bundles order and delivery information, provides CO₂ footprint reports for materials and transport, and suggests lower-CO₂ recycled alternatives. With “Track & Trace,” deliveries can also be tracked in real time at any time—for end-to-end transparency along the supply chain.
     
  • Sustainability as an integral part of the portfolio: In addition to prime materials, we presented our growing range of recycled materials, biopolymers, and tailor-made compounds. This enables us to support processors in reducing CO₂ emissions, increasing the proportion of recycled materials, and making their supply chains more sustainable—without compromising on performance or process reliability.
     
  • Faster material development with AI: Together with our partner Polymerize, we demonstrated at our booth how data-driven formulation development can shorten innovation cycles. The AI-supported platform recommends targeted formulations, reduces testing efforts, and helps bring more sustainable products to market faster.

K 2025 demonstrated the industry's innovative strength and spirit of optimism. And it is precisely this dynamic that thrives on mutual exchange.
