Positive mood despite difficult market environment
The 17th World Pultrusion Conference (WPC) took place from February 29 to March 1, 2024 with a record number of participants. This year, almost 150 participants took the opportunity to network in an impressive setting and learn about the latest developments and innovations in 25 specialist presentations.
The conference takes place every two years in different European countries and is the most important event of its kind in Europe. The WPC is organized by the AVK for the European Pultrusion Technology Association (EPTA) in cooperation with the American Composites Manufacturers Association (ACMA).
At the end of the event, all participants agreed that the visit to Hamburg was worthwhile – not only because of the special charm, but also because of the positive mood within the pultrusion industry. Driven by innovation and against the backdrop of a difficult environment, the industry sees itself well positioned for the future, as do composites in general. Sustainable, durable, open to innovation and very personal: this is how the industry presented itself in Hamburg. We look forward to organizing the 18th WPC in two years’ time and meeting new friends and old acquaintances.
