MATERIALICA Introduction

MATERIALICA is Europe’s top event for material-driven and supplier-oriented product innovations. The promising industry of lightweight design will pave the way for a new era in e-mobility, aerospace, new energy, automotive and sports, and consumer goods. This is why we have decided to focus on lightweight design at this year's specialist trade fair MATERIALICA. Special emphasis is placed on pioneering lightweight design concepts for new mobility. Fixed parameters such as weight reduction, new driving concepts as well as saving of resources have helped lightweight design industries become a key factor for performance and competitiveness in all technologies. Only together can technologies such as automotive, engineering, aerospace and new energy achieve satisfying results.

This is why eCarTec, the first international trade fair for electric mobility, will take place alongside MATERIALICA. The large number of representatives from the automotive industry will promote a synergy effect between both trade fairs. Renowned manufacturers such as BMW, Daimler, Peugeot, Huntsman, Teijin Aramid or Secar will be present at this year’s MATERIALICA event to present their products.

Another focus topics of the MATERIALICA are Smart Materials and Processes. Exhibitors from the industries nanotechnology, adaptronics, functional and advanced ceramics attend to the area Smart Materials. Processes covers the areas composites, automation, electroplating, corrosion protection, surface and testing.

Further, the following special shows can be found at the MATERIALICA:
