Three thousand exhibitors, including Nigerian firm, Sarsoli Industries, makers of masterbatch, will be among companies taking part at K 2025 trade fair on plastics innovation from October 8 to 15 in Germany under the theme: “The Power of Plastics: Green, Smart, Responsible.”
Held every three years at Messe Düsseldorf, the fair brings together 220,000 visitors from over 160 countries. It provides a global stage for product launches, technical exchange, and policy dialogue that shape the future of plastics. The participation of Sarsoli for the fourth consecutive time, shows that African companies are asserting themselves as vital contributors to global industrial transformation.
“K has consistently delivered exposure and real industry relevance, connecting us with decision-makers, who understand innovation, value sustainability, and shape the future of plastics,” said Jaiprakash Changrani, managing director. “Our continued presence at K reflects our belief that Africa, particularly Nigeria, has a critical voice in that dialogue. This year, we’re proud to contribute West Africa’s perspective to the global movement toward circularity, digital transformation, and inclusive trade.”
Over the years, K Fair has become synonymous with international collaboration and actionable discourse in the plastics, rubber and petrochemical industry. What distinguishes K 2025 is its the inclusion of emerging market perspectives, with initiatives and collaborations exploring how plastics can support environmental sustainability and biodiversity. Against this backdrop, Sarsoli Industries, first-ever Nigerian exhibitor at fair, returns in 2025 as a key voice from West Africa.
