About 120 participants from Germany and Europe were informed at seven lectures on design trends and the associated production processes.
In this way, Jörg Friedrich from CarMen demonstrated the ever increasing desire for individuality in China based on products with transparencies and lighting effects. Martin Döbler from Covestro gave a talk on the use of plastics in the car and in medical technology and Volker Burger from Clean Controlling spoke on technical purity in production.
Christoph Ernst from KH reported on how the environmentally harmful chromium VI can be avoided when producing parts with a chrome finish and the role played here by intelligent painting technology and other processes. Stefan Schmidt from the Plastics Institute Lüdenscheid observed that plastics are far too valuable to end up as refuse in the world's oceans.

The event was followed by a get-together with an evening program, and on 07.06.2019, factory tours to the KH production locations in northern Bavaria and Czech.
