JEC welcomes the composites world

JEC World, the leading international trade show dedicated to composite materials opens today and runs till Thursday.

The global event at the Paris Nord Villepinte exhibition centre welcomes more than 1,300 exhibitors and expects more than 43,000 professional visits from all continents this year. The show is an inspiration for all professionals who wish to tackle sustainability challenges and develop lighter, smarter and more durable composites solutions.

At this week’s show, Daher and its Dutch subsidiary KVE are displaying their latest research and development achievements for the next generation of aircraft. They will be highlighting the company’s advances in aerostructures produced with advanced composites, including a full-scale torsion box demonstrator for aircraft, which was produced using welded thermoplastics.

Also at the show Broetje-Automation has been working with Spirit AeroSystems to further automate the preforming of large composite structural parts for aircraft in a stable, continuous process.

Florent Troubat, President of CHOMARAT Group says: “JEC World is a key event to initiate new developments, and to grasp the major trends of the composites industry.  The 2024 edition will be an opportunity to share our progress in the deployment of our sustainable development strategy, and to present our solutions to meet this major challenge in our industry. With over 70 years of involvement in the development of composites Chomarat is positioned as a key player in this transformation towards a virtuous industry, providing the most suitable products to meet the challenge of the ecological transition.” 

“2024 is a unique year for us at Syensqo (previously part of Solvay Group). JEC World will be the first international event where we will be present and will showcase our new ambitions, building on our heritage and legacy. At the show, we will present new technologies and highlight exciting partnerships supporting the trends of electrification, connectivity, hydrogen propulsion and bio-sourcing with our cutting-edge composites and adhesives. We look forward to interacting with the entire industry,” stated Marc Doyle, executive vice president composite materials, Syensqo. 

Harald Wiedemann, vice president EMEAI at Huntsman Advanced Materials, adds: “We’re pleased to exhibit at JEC World this year, where we'll showcase Huntsman's innovative solutions that support our clients in delivering sustainable, lightweight, and energy-saving materials used in everyday applications. We look forward to connecting with all our stakeholders and being part of one of the industry's most important events of the year.”
