Kraiburg TPE to Highlight Fakuma Partnership Expertise

As regulatory requirements increase, supply chains become more complex, and development timelines shorten, strong development partnerships are becoming increasingly important for manufacturers. At Fakuma 2026, Kraiburg TPE plans to demonstrate how its material expertise, regulatory knowledge, and long-term partnerships can help customers address these challenges.

Fakuma 2026 will be held on October 16, 2026, at the Friedrichshafen Exhibition Center in Friedrichshafen, Germany.

Kraiburg TPE will showcase its comprehensive expertise in materials and consulting, along with its established product portfolio, rather than focusing on single-product innovations. The company will concentrate on its specialized knowledge, customized material solutions, regulatory expertise, globally consistent quality standards, corporate sustainability, and close collaboration with customers throughout the development process.

Development partners that meet stringent requirements

Rising regulatory requirements, volatile markets, and complex supply chains are reshaping expectations for material manufacturers. At the same time, demands for quality, product availability, and regulatory compliance are continuously increasing. Kraiburg TPE supports its customers in ways that go far beyond simply supplying materials.

“Today, our customers expect more than just high-quality TPE. They are looking for a partner who will provide long-term support through technical expertise, regulatory knowledge, and global reach. Andreas Pawel, Head of Corporate Communications at Kraiburg TPE, says: ‘Our trade show presence will focus precisely on these capabilities, as they create the highest added value for our customers.’”

Kraiburg TPE guides customers from material selection to mass production, assisting with regulatory issues and technical requirements, including EU Regulation No 10/2011, the Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation, and the proposed End-of-Life Vehicles Regulation. Material testing and continuous assessment of regulatory developments further refine the company’s products.

Global Quality and Corporate Sustainability

Kraiburg TPE operates production facilities across Europe, North America, and the Asia-Pacific region, along with an international distribution and service network, maintaining consistent quality standards and reliable delivery structures worldwide. Investments—including the accreditation of selected test methods in its testing laboratory according to DIN EN ISO/IEC 17025, new extrusion test benches, and the digitalization of production and logistics processes—continue to strengthen the company’s performance.

Corporate sustainability remains a strategic priority for Kraiburg TPE’s continued growth, encompassing material solutions with recycled content, greenhouse gas emission reduction measures, and products such as Loop TPE along with transparent sustainability reporting.

Partnership is a factor in success.

Long-term partnerships are at the core of our corporate philosophy. For over 40 years, many customers in sectors such as oral care and construction have relied on Kraiburg TPE’s solutions.

At Fakuma 2026, the company will invite visitors to discuss current challenges, personalized material solutions, and future requirements for TPE applications with its experts.
