UTECH Europe Maastricht

UTECH Europe is an international trade fair and conference for the global polyurethane industry, held every three years at the Maastricht Exhibition and Congress Centre (MECC) in Maastricht. The abbreviation "UTECH" stands for "Urethane Technology", emphasizing the central role of polyurethane as a material. The event is organized by Urethanes Technology International, part of the Crain Communications Global Polymer Group, bringing together experts from all sectors of the polyurethane industry.

Thematically, UTECH Europe covers a broad spectrum: plastics and their suppliers, various types of foams such as hard and flexible PU foam, polymer foam, general PU foam, and insulation techniques.

The fair presents a wide array of products and services. These include raw materials such as polyols and isocyanates, processing machines for mixing and dosing liquids, and analysis and testing services. It encompasses all segments of the polyurethane industry, from insulation to coatings, adhesives, sealants, and elastomers. Additionally, the latest developments in research and development as well as innovative polyurethane systems are showcased.

The fair serves not only as a platform for product presentation but also as a forum for the exchange of expert knowledge and information. In a specially designated conference, experts have the opportunity to discuss important topics such as the use of polyurethane composite materials in lightweight automotive construction or the impact of global economic factors on the industry.

Another highlight is the UTECH Europe Awards, which honor outstanding achievements and innovations in the European polyurethane industry. The fair attracts exhibitors from various sectors, including manufacturing, supply, and technological development, and is attended by professionals from these and other industries.

UTECH Europe is part of a series of global events organized by Urethanes Technology International, including fairs in Asia, America, and the Middle East. This underscores the international significance and networking of the fair.

Maastricht, with its central location in Europe and excellent transport connections, offers ideal conditions for international visitors.
