Women in Plastics
The networking event by women for women
For the first time, K 2025 is specifically inviting women from the industry to an inspiring networking event. The plastics and rubber industry is still heavily male-dominated - female managers are rare and valuable potential often remains untapped. This is exactly where Women in Plastics comes in!
Your career start in the plastics and rubber industry
At K 2025, trainees, school pupils and students of tomorrow will be able to experience working with plastics up close. The trade fair offers numerous exhibitions, discussion rounds, experimental shows and research stands.
