Fakuma 2026: Crizaf in Friedrichshafen for the 30th edition of the international plastics trade fair

From October 12 to 16, 2026, Crizaf will be in Friedrichshafen for Fakuma 2026, one of the leading international events for the plastics processing industry. A special thirtieth edition that will bring together companies and professionals from around the world to discuss the technologies and challenges transforming the sector.

Fakuma 2026: 30 editions dedicated to the plastics industry

Lentil October 12 to 16, 2026 The Friedrichshafen exhibition center will once again be one of the main international meeting points for the plastics industry.

Fakuma reaches an important milestone this year: the 30th edition. Around 1,600 exhibitors from 40 different countries around the world are expected: figures that confirm the international scale of an event dedicated to the entire plastics processing supply chain.

Injection molding, extrusion and thermoforming, additive manufacturing and 3D printing, raw materials, process technologies, tooling, recycling, peripherals and automation solutions they will be at the center of five days dedicated primarily to dialogue between technology developers and those who must integrate them into their production processes every day and translate them into concrete results.

More than an exhibition, therefore, a place to observe up close how industrial production is evolving and what solutions can contribute to making it more competitive and innovative.

Efficiency, digitalization, and sustainability: the themes at the center of Fakuma 2026

The 30th edition arrives at a time when a’plastics industry it must deal with increasingly interconnected goals and themes: increasing productivity, containing consumption, costs and environmental impact, implementing internal sustainability policies, using resources efficiently without waste, and integrating automation, technologies and artificial intelligence into production processes.

Efficiency, digitalization and sustainability these are truly the pillars of Fakuma 2026!

In particular, the concept of efficiency will be addressed at multiple levels. It is not just about reducing material and energy consumption, but also about improving process efficiency and the overall functioning of production systems, leveraging automation, intuitive control systems, and digital tools capable of supporting industry operators and ensuring consistent quality levels.

Themes that fit into a broader reflection on the future of plastics, where circular economy, recyclability, energy efficiency and digitalization They are playing an increasingly central role.

The real “hot topic” therefore is no longer so much what is produced, but how it is produced:
How do materials move? How are the different production lines connected? Where is it possible to reduce manual handling and machine downtime? All questions that will find answers at Fakuma 2026!

Fakuma on Lake Constance, in the industrial heart of the DACH region

What also contributes to making Fakuma a special event is its privileged location in Friedrichshafen, on the shores of Lake Constance, in a strategic location: a meeting point between Germany, Austria and Switzerland. A location that reinforces the international dimension of the event and places it in an area characterized by a strong industrial and technological presence.

In addition to the location, the 2026 calendar also features a new development: for this edition, Fakuma will take place from Monday, October 12 to Friday, October 16, from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM, a new schedule of days defined by the organizers together with the exhibitors to guarantee maximum immersion in the fair and allow greater attendance from all over the world!

Crizaf at Fakuma 2026: solutions for more efficient material handling

Crizaf will be present at Fakuma 2026 to meet clients, partners, and industry professionals and discuss the new needs of industrial production.

For over fifty years we have been developing solutions dedicated to the handling and management of products within production processes, with a range that includes conveyors, separators and filling and storage systems.

The objective of our presence in Friedrichshafen is to bring to the attention of partners and prospects a topic closely linked to the challenges of the 2026 edition, namely how to make material handling within production processes more efficient.

Effective handling, separation, weighing, and storage make it possible to connect different operations and design a more continuous, controlled production flow tailored to the specific needs of each plant. In fact, we believe that optimizing handling is not just about facilitating the movement of flows, but also looking at what happens between one production phase and the next and finding a way, through our solutions, to make the passage smooth, effective, and efficient.Crizaf's desire to combine experience, technology, and customization stems precisely from these premises in order to meet the concrete needs of different production contexts.

See you at Fakuma 2026!

Crizaf looks forward to seeing you at Fakuma 2026 to tackle these issues together and find the handling, filling, and storage solution best suited to your production needs and the goals of your company.
