International experts in composite materials will meet in Bremen on 30 and 31 October. At the “International Conference and Exhibition on Thermoplastic Composites” (ITHEC), experts, practitioners and scientists have an ideal place to discuss current developments in the industry. The focus is on composite materials, which are booming in almost all industrial sectors. However, the application possibilities are currently still quite limited for cost reasons. This could be remedied by efficient series production.

ThermHex managing director Dr.-Ing. Jochen Pflug will speak on this topic at the conference. Together with Thomas Gläser from the Fraunhofer Institute IMWS he presents the development project ”Continuous Production of Thermoplastic Sandwich Structures and their Functionalization via Hybrid Injection Molding Technology”. All interested parties are invited to Session F “Automotive II” on 31 October at 2 p. m. in the Borgward Saal. Further information on the conference can be found at: www.ithec.de
