KUTENO & KPA - Together in the market - individual trade fair profile

With KUTENO and KPA, Easyfairs offers two trade fair concepts for the plastics industry that are tailored to regional visitor groups.

KUTENO is the compact supplier fair for the entire plastics processing chain. It focuses primarily on machines, components, technical solutions and materials. The trade visitors are decision-makers and experts from the plastics processing industry.

KPA is positioned one step further along the value chain. Plastics processors and material suppliers present their expertise to a cross-sector audience from the user industries of plastic products.
