#112 JEC World 2024 Warm-Up Round 1

With only a month away JEC World 2024, the world's largest
exhibition on composites opens its doors in Villepente (Paris,
France).

This podcast episode is split in 2 parts:
1. Associations and Media Partners
2. Exhibitors and Experts

Thomas Lepretre, JEC Group's Show Director, will give you on the
first part an update regarding what you can expect on the
showfloor from 5 to 7 March 2024.

One, if not the largest booth is entertained by Composites United
on these days and therefore we are honoured to have the CEO Dr.
Gunnar Merz joining us at this show.

Inside the Composites Germany Roof, of course AVK plays a major
role and Volker Mathes will represent them. He will particularly
talk about the latest findings on their proprietary
studies.

Moving further west, we have invited RAPHAEL PLEYNET of the The
European Composites Industry Association; EuCIA , who has even a
broader view and an updated study in his wallet on a pan-European
level.

The association round is completed by our guest from the
UK.

David Bailey FRAeS Ph.D is the CEO of Composites UK - Trade
Association and besides the fact that they organise the UK
pavillion at JEC World 2024, we want to know from him the latest
UK developments.

In the second round, our guests not only represent the whole DACH
region (Germany, Austria and Switzerland), but also Europe and
the Middle East. This in line with the "World Concept" of JEC
World.

Our guests are Alexander Wiesner of Langzauner GmbH a press and
automatisaton expert on composites. alan harper on reusable bags,
a very important sustainable feature in composites production
processes. Then with Christoph Schneeberger of Antefil Composite
Tech we will go deep on Fibres and how to cover them for better
bonding. Stefan Fleischmann is a polymer expert with a
trackrecord in the plastics industry and will be a great asset to
bridge the world of injection molding with Stefans fibre
tech.

Last, but not least Nasri Ben Frej is a coated textile expert and
we want to have the reinforcement angle included in our
TechTainmentTalks today. In addition, he is a true expert in
business development throughout the Near- and MiddleEastern
regions.
