From aerospace to automotive and beyond, composites are shaping the future of multiple industries. JEC World 2026 once again showed the full potential of polymer composites.
Our R&D team was there to explore trends, connect with partners, and get inspired.
Exhibitions from companies around the world represent a unique source of inspiration, offering countless opportunities to establish new partnerships and identify key industry trends.
Key directions confirmed at this year’s event:
- automation and hybrid manufacturing
- digital, data-driven production
- circular economy and recycling
- faster innovation driven by startups
- new application areas for composites
pDCPD and RIM Technology in Practice
At the exhibition, we also showcased our work – an engine cover for the Wacker Neuson TL60 telehandler, made from pDCPD using RIM technology.
This material stands out with specific properties tailored for demanding applications.
SMC Technology: Potential for Extremely Large and Highly Durable Parts
We also closely followed developments in SMC technology, where our 30,000 kN press enables the production of large, high-performance parts.
Thermoplastic Composites as the Next Step in Development
Looking ahead, thermoplastic composites remain one of the key areas shaping the future.
“JEC World offered a comprehensive experience driven by the synergy of Paris’s unique atmosphere, a deep dive into innovation, and the exchange of ideas among forward-thinking people from diverse cultures.
Great to be part of the JEC community – see you in 2027.“
