Fakuma 2026

Bespoke Exhibition Stands for FAKUMA 2026, Friedrichshafen

FAKUMA is the world's leading trade fair for plastics processing, celebrating its 30th edition in 2026 at Messe Friedrichshafen. Around 1,900 exhibitors take part across five full days, covering injection moulding, extrusion, thermoforming, and 3D printing, with machinery ranging from compact tabletop units to large industrial presses. EventFull designs and builds bespoke exhibition stands for businesses exhibiting at the show.

A Milestone Year Raises the Bar

Anniversary editions tend to bring out a bit more effort from everyone involved. With FAKUMA marking its 30th year, expect competitors to be putting extra thought into how they show up, which makes it a good moment to invest properly in your own stand rather than reusing something that's done the job in previous years. A milestone show is also a natural talking point in your own marketing, so a stand that photographs well and gives your team something to genuinely be proud of pays off beyond the show itself.

Five Days Is a Long Time to Stand on Your Feet

FAKUMA runs longer than most trade shows, a full working week rather than the usual two or three days. That's worth factoring into the practical side of your stand. Comfortable flooring, decent storage so the space doesn't get cluttered by day three, and a layout that still works when your team is tired towards the end of the week all make a real difference to how well the stand performs right through to Friday.

Career Friday Means a Different Kind of Visitor

FAKUMA sets aside its final day specifically for young people considering a career in the plastics industry, students, graduates, and apprentices looking around at what the sector actually involves. If you're planning to use this day for recruitment, it's worth having a stand, or at least part of one, that can shift tone a little, less about closing a technical sale, more about giving someone a genuine feel for what it would be like to work with you.
