LG Chem announced it will participate in the Fakuma 2026 plastics exhibition in Friedrichshafen, Germany, from October 12 to 16, showcasing next-generation material solutions aimed at future industries.
Fakuma is a leading plastics industry exhibition featuring global material companies and major European manufacturers. At this event, LG Chem plans to focus on high-performance, high-value material solutions targeting future growth markets, including artificial intelligence (AI) data centers, robotics, and high-function breathable films, beyond the automotive and electronics sectors.
The company will set up a 70-square-meter exhibition space, emphasizing 'solution marketing' that addresses core customer challenges rather than merely introducing products.
The exhibition will be organized around three themes: cost-effective solutions for automotive unpainted materials and metal alternatives, sustainability centered on bio-based materials and low-carbon solutions, and innovative engineering plastics technology for AI data centers and robotics.
LG Chem aims to expand technical collaboration with customers and jointly explore future growth opportunities, dedicating more than half of its exhibition space to meeting areas for personalized consultations and technical discussions. The company will support customer development using its proprietary 'SISO (Simulation Integrated Solution)' to predict and validate product performance during the design phase.
In Europe, the demand for lightweight and high-function materials is rapidly increasing due to the expansion of electrification and eco-friendly policies. Engineering plastics are high-value materials that contribute to product lightweighting and energy efficiency by replacing metals, and their use is expanding in future industries such as automotive, robotics, and AI data centers. LG Chem plans to strengthen its market penetration in Europe by proactively proposing next-generation solutions based on its differentiated material technology.
Lee Chang-hyun, Executive Vice President of LG Chem's Engineering Materials Division, stated, "What customers need is not just simple materials but next-generation solutions that turn future possibilities into reality. We will lead the changes in future industries and provide new growth opportunities and differentiated value by proposing next-generation material solutions ahead of our customers."
