Fakuma, one of Europe's leading plastics processing shows, took place for the 30th time on 12–16 October 2026 in Friedrichshafen. Hightech Polimer exhibited with our manufacturing partner Xiamen LFT Composite Plastic Co., Ltd. (LFT-G®) on a joint stand in Hall A7, Booth 7512-4.
The stand message: The Future of Materials Today
Our stand brought both companies' strengths into one line: Xiamen LFT's manufacturing capacity in China and Hightech Polimer's local technical support close to Europe. What we presented was not just a pellet but a path from sampling to mass production:
- Grade selection
- Mould & gate review
- Trial support
- Serial production
What we showed
The focus was on long glass fiber (LGF) and long carbon fiber (LCF) reinforced thermoplastics: HIGH-STRAN® / LFT-G® grades in matrices from PP to PA6, PA66, PA12, PPA, PPS and PEEK. Pellet samples and moulded parts were on the stand for anyone wanting to see how long fiber differs from short fiber.
The common thread in our talks with European manufacturers was metal replacement and lightweighting — moving aluminium and steel parts to long-fiber thermoplastics while keeping impact strength and stiffness.
What it means for Europe
Hightech Polimer has been Xiamen LFT's authorized distributor for Türkiye since June 2024, and the agreement was extended in July 2025 through 2028. Fakuma was the first major stage where we took this partnership beyond Türkiye to the European market. With fast sampling, technical service from Türkiye and competitive lead times, we aim to stay close to European customers. See our LFT-G page for details of the partnership.
We are following up on the projects we met at Fakuma
If we did not get to talk at the stand, share your application and target performance — we will prepare the right long-fiber grade and a sample.
