(Munich, July 2, 2020) Due to the ongoing situation surrounding the new Corona virus (SARS-CoV-2) and its adverse effects on daily life and business, KraussMaffei does opt against attending the FAKUMA 2020 trade fair – should the event take place.

For KraussMaffei, the FAKUMA is one of the most important platforms for showcasing new products, solutions and services for the plastics industry, as well as for meeting existing and prospect customers. However, even under the conditions of strict hygiene and safety measures, KraussMaffei does see no viable way to offer its customers and service providers a satisfactory trade show experience. Unfortunately, the risk of infection, present for all attendees including our employees, could not be eliminated.

KraussMaffei very much regrets this step, but sees no alternative in the current situation. Still we would like to emphasize that we continue to be available to our customers and interested parties and that we will be happy to present our new developments and innovations in person through our sales teams and/or digitally anytime.
