Fourth German WPC-Congress

For the fourth time already, nova-Institut GmbH is organising the German WPC-congress on the 13th and 14th December 2011. It will take place at the great hall in the Maritim Hotel in Cologne, Germany. A exhibition, the awarding of the innovation award and activities of trade associations are framing this biggest european event on Woo Plastic Composites (WPC). The congress predominantly picks up topics of the German-speaking WPC industry, but the speakers, exhibitors and participants are international – all talks will be translated simultaneously. 300 participants from 23 countries have visited the “3rd German WPC congress” in 2009 and made it the biggest meeting point for the WPC-industry in Europe. This year, we expect a similar number of participants.
