KUTENO 2026: Strong Momentum for Sustainable Plastics – Thank You for Visiting WTH!

After three successful exhibition days at KUTENO 2026 in Bad Salzuflen, we would like to extend our sincere thanks to all visitors, customers, business partners, and interested professionals who stopped by the WTH booth in Hall 20.

Once again, KUTENO proved to be an important meeting point for the plastics industry, providing numerous opportunities for professional exchange on current developments in circular economy concepts, innovative materials, sustainable additive technologies, and advanced plastics applications. We were particularly pleased by the high quality of discussions and the strong interest shown in our products and solutions.

WTH-Bio R and Rice Bran Waxes Attract Strong Interest as Bio-Based Additives

One of the key topics of discussion at our booth was the WTH-Bio R product line. The rice bran waxes marketed under this brand attracted significant attention from industry professionals. As modern bio-based additives, they offer an attractive alternative to conventionally used montan waxes and support the development of more sustainable plastic formulations.

The growing demand for renewable raw materials and high-performance bio-based additives clearly demonstrates that sustainability and technical performance must go hand in hand. With WTH-Bio R, we provide innovative solutions that successfully combine both requirements.

Strong Interest Across the Entire WTH Product Portfolio

In addition to our “green” additives, many visitors were interested in other products from the WTH portfolio. Functional additives, specialty fillers, and performance-enhancing processing aids for plastics applications attracted considerable attention.

Our modern halogen-free flame retardants also generated strong interest, as they contribute to the development of safer and more sustainable plastic products. Numerous inquiries were also received regarding stabilizers and other specialty products designed to optimize processing performance and end-product properties.

Positive Outlook Following Three Successful Exhibition Days

“It was once again a great pleasure for us to be part of KUTENO 2026,” summarized Dr. Silke-Nicola Trzaska and Dieter Holst after numerous discussions with customers and industry professionals in Bad Salzuflen. Both were particularly pleased with the high quality of contacts and the many concrete project inquiries that provide a promising foundation for post-show business opportunities.

We would like to thank all visitors once again for their trust and interest. The many valuable discussions, new contacts, and shared ideas made KUTENO 2026 a highly successful event for WTH.

We look forward to continuing the dialogue with you and working together on innovative solutions for the plastics industry of tomorrow.

Save the date: We are already looking forward to welcoming you again at KUTENO 2027, taking place from June 1–3, 2027, in Bad Salzuflen.
