Abstract – JEC Europe 2012
The JEC Europe 2012 composite show, held in Paris on 27th 29th March, brought together 1,181 participating companies and occupied an unprecedented surface area of 50,000 m2 (538,195 sq. ft., or 8 times the size of a football pitch!), which is five times bigger than any other composite exhibition in the world. In 2012, attendance increased once again, with a total of 32,256 visitors, as compared to 29,867 in 2011, testifying to the appeal of this platform for the composite market. Environmental concerns and an overwhelming desire to be seen to be first with composite solutions were apparent at the JEC Europe 2012 show. Traditionally, automotive and construction have been the main industries driving innovation in composites in Europe. At this year’s JEC Europe show, however, many composites suppliers were pursuing the material’s enormous growth in wind turbines and the increasing popularity of biocomposites.
