+++ WPC-Innovation Award: 6 products nominated! +++ Already two dozen exhibitors! +++ Moore than 350 participants expected! +++
Dear WPC Experts, Dear Interested Public,
The Fourth German WPC congress promises to expand its position as the European WPC lead congress:
WPC Innovation Award
The over the years sustained global growth trend of wood-plastic composites (WPC) is to a considerable extent based on the innovation potential of small and medium-sized enterprises, not least in Germany. This development is well reflected in the competition for the WPC Innovation Award.
Never before have so many companies stepped into the ring and it never was so hard for the jury to choose from the already outstanding field of applicants for the top 6 finalists. The election of the winners will be carried out by the participants of the WPC Congress on the evening of the first Congress day, the 13th of December 2011.
Nominated for the finals are:
- Curtania GmbH: curtain hanging system, “NaF.MIX ®”
- Werzalit GmbH + Co. KG: Process technology for in-mold coating of injection molded WPC parts
- Möller GmbH & Co. KG: noise barrier profile of WPC
- Evonik Industries AG: PMMA-wood composite PLEXIGLAS ® Wood
- Plastic Rotho AG: Compost Bucket “Green Line”
- PHK polymer engineering GmbH: “Nerolit ®”-Compounds for high-tech applications
