Reifenhäuser said: “It can be clearly felt that an investment backlog formed during the global economic and financial crisis. Now demand is rising on a global scale and we register overwhelming customer interest in our buyer sectors. The innovations launched at K 2010 are stimulating a powerful thrust in orders taken. Companies are now benefiting from also having consolidated their strengths in hard times, developing innovations and decisively strengthening their competitive edge!”. 57% of K visitors came from outside Germany; a total of some 132,000 guests were of foreign origin. The experts came from far more than 100 nations and all continents – they even travelled to the Rhine from Ethiopia, Costa Rica, the Falkland Islands, the Ivory Coast, Mauritius, New Caledonia and Turkmenistan. It became clear that amongst the international experts attending a further shift towards overseas visitors has taken place. The proportion of experts from overseas rose to 45% of all international guests. The biggest group here came from Asia – with approximately 30,000 experts. With 10,500 guests the Indian subcontinent again accounted for the largest share of Asian visitors. A substantial increase was also registered in the number of trade visitors from Turkey and from Israel with 4,100 and 3,700 business people, respectively (compared to 2,900 and 2,300 at the previous event). Compared to K 2007 there were also more visitors from Egypt, Argentina, Brazil, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates. Approx. 10,000 business people came from all over Latin America to K2010, to the tune of 7,600 trade visitors
came from the USA and Canada. The number of visitors from the African continent was slightly up also standing at approx. 7,600 guests. Visitors from neighbouring European countries were dominated by the Netherlands with just under 8,000 visitors, followed by France, Belgium, Italy, Austria, the United Kingdom and Northern Ireland, Switzerland, Spain, Portugal and Poland. For roughly two thirds of all the visitors polled machinery and equipment building ranked first in terms of interest in ranges. 48% – and hence 7% more visitors than at K 2007 – stated their interest in raw materials and auxiliaries while for 26% semi-finished products and technical plastics and rubber components were the major reason for their attendance. Plastics can look forward to a bright future as a material for creative ideas, particularly in the field of energy efficiency and saving resources. This insight was not only reflected by numerous examples on show at the exhibitors’ stands from 56 nations. The Special Show “Visions in Polymers” also picked up on this theme meeting with great interest among experts from throughout the world. Film sequences, selected exhibits and discussions with experts from industry and science highlighted the development trends on the horizon and the novel applications the future can bring. The German plastics industry was responsible for the organisation of “Visions in Polymers” under the aegis of PlasticsEurope Deutschland e.V. and Messe Düsseldorf. The next K Düsseldorf will be held from 16 to 23 October 2013.
