That was K2022!

by | Dec., 2022

K2022 in Düsseldorf, the leading trade fair for the plastics and rubber industry, was a major success for the sector this year. More than 176,000 trade visitors from every continent traveled to the event, which took place at the Düsseldorf Exhibition Center. The trade visitors came from 157 different countries, and the trade show was a great opportunity for companies in the plastics and rubber industry to showcase their latest products and innovations.

Moldsonics to Exhibit at K for the First Time

We at Moldsonics were one of the many exhibitors at K2022 and were pleased to present our latest ultrasonic sensor systems, MoldFront and MoldUni, which were developed to improve the accuracy and efficiency of manufacturing processes in the plastics and rubber industries. The sensor system is capable of detecting even the slightest fluctuations in the manufacturing process, enabling better control and more consistent results. All parameters—far beyond just pressure and temperature—can be measured without coming into contact with the melt.

To demonstrate the many capabilities of our sensor system, we set up a measurement kit at our booth. Visitors to the trade show were able to see the system in action, and many of them were impressed by its resolution accuracy and the new measurement capabilities. In addition to our own booth, our sensor system was also in operation at three partner booths, allowing even more visitors to see it in action.

The K2022 trade show was an excellent opportunity for us to establish valuable contacts in the plastics and rubber industry. We had many interesting conversations with potential customers, were able to network with other companies, and learned about the latest developments in the industry. We are confident that the contacts we made at the trade show will be of great benefit to our company in the future, and we are very much looking forward to the upcoming collaborations.

Overall, the K2022 trade show was a fantastic experience for our company. We were able to showcase our new sensor system to a large and diverse audience and made many valuable connections within the plastics and rubber industry. We are already looking forward to the next trade show and hope to continue being part of this important and innovative industry event in the future.
