Exhibitor applications for K 2010, 18th International Trade Fair Plastics and Rubber, will be available online at www.k-online.de starting end of January 2009. K 2010 exhibitor applications can only be filled out online – no hardcopies will be available. The deadline for reserving exhibit space at K 2010 is May 31, 2009. The event will be held from October 27 – November 3, 2010 at the fairgrounds in Düsseldorf, Germany.

A special feature at K 2010 will be the two U.S. Pavilions, organized by Messe Düsseldorf North America (MDNA) and co-sponsored by The Society of the Plastics Industry (SPI). The U.S. Pavilions provide a cost-effective means for companies to enter into or to expand their business in the lucrative overseas marketplace. Companies are provided with a fully equipped turn-key booth which Messe Düsseldorf North America will custom design according to the exhibitor’s specifications. All technical work, set up and dismantling is included. MDNA will also assist with the placement of hostesses and translators if exhibitors request this service. U.S. Commercial Service staff will be on hand in the U.S. group exhibits to assist with export and licensing questions.
