Highlight: “K 2025”
2025 – A Dynamic Trade Fair Year for WTH
(mud) – WTH GmbH has always been a regular exhibitor at trade fairs in Germany and abroad. In 2025, the company plans to participate in four major exhibitions. The WTH trade fair team is preparing for appearances in Nuremberg, Bad Salzuflen, Kielce (Poland), and Düsseldorf. A key event for WTH Managing Director Gero Thieme is the Plastics and Rubber Trade Fair K 2025 in North Rhine-Westphalia’s capital city: “WTH has been continuously exhibiting there with its own stands since 1992.”
The trade fair year kicks off with the European Coating Show (ECS) from March 25-27, 2025, in Nuremberg. WTH has been exhibiting there since 2017—initially as a co-exhibitor at the booth of a long-standing business partner and, since 2019, with its own stands. Held every two years, ECS has developed into the leading international trade fair for the coatings industry. At this year’s event, WTH GmbH will present modern flame retardant additives, light stabilizers, and functional fillers from its extensive additive and filler portfolio at Hall 1 (Booth 1-138).
Next up is KUTENO 2025 from May 13-15, 2025, in Bad Salzuflen. After a successful exhibition in Rheda-Wiedenbrück in 2024, the decision to exhibit again at KUTENO was an easy one—this time in Bad Salzuflen. Designed as a regional trade fair in North Rhine-Westphalia’s “Plastics Region,” KUTENO is almost perceived as a “family gathering” of the industry. Key products from WTH’s raw material portfolio at this event include flame retardants and fine chemicals such as UV stabilizers and antioxidants.
The 29th Plastpol 2025, taking place from May 20-23, 2025, in Kielce, Poland, is a must-attend event for WTH. The Polish market is developing dynamically and remains a crucial factor for WTH’s business success. Plastpol is not only a key international trade fair for the plastics and chemical industries in Poland, but it is also gaining influence in neighboring Eastern and Southeastern European countries. This makes it a perfect fit for WTH’s growth strategy in these markets.
The trade fair year concludes for the company from Stade with the Plastics and Rubber Trade Fair K 2025, held from October 8-15, 2025, in Düsseldorf. As the world’s leading trade fair for the industry, K 2025 is of immense importance to all players in the plastics and rubber sector. It is a flagship event for WTH in every respect, bringing together all the industry’s key figures in Düsseldorf over the course of eight days.
WTH has been exhibiting at K with its own stands since 1992, fostering valuable connections worldwide. In addition to the core WTH trade fair team, virtually all sales employees will be in Düsseldorf to present the company’s entire product range in full detail. Alongside WTH CEO Gero Thieme, company founder Walter Thieme has also confirmed his attendance.
