FAKUMA 2026, 30th International Trade Fair for Plastics Processing
Messe Friedrichshafen
October 12-16, 2026
Friedrichshafen, Germany
Booth: B5 – 5512
MacDermid Alpha Electronics Solutions will exhibit at FAKUMA 2026, the 30th International Trade Fair for Plastics Processing, taking place 12–16 October 2026 at Messe Friedrichshafen, Germany.
Visitors can meet our Film & Smart Surfaces team at booth B5 – 5512 to explore how our materials bring next-generation smart surfaces from concept to scalable production. Our portfolio combines hardcoated films, printed electronic inks, screen-printing chemistries, and process expertise. So every layer is designed to work with the next. Our smart surface materials are recommended for decorative, touch, heating, and lighting applications, for interior and exterior use.
For OEMs, Tier 1s, converters, and processors, this integrated approach reduces qualification risk, shortens development timelines, and lowers total system cost for applications which include automotive interiors, medical devices, household appliances, industrial controls, and other high-touch human-machine interfaces.
What You’ll See at FAKUMA
- XtraForm® Hardcoated Films: Optical-grade, durable films for complex 3D geometries, available in gloss, matt, and antiglare finishes.
- Micromax™ Printed Circuit Materials: Silver and carbon conductive inks and dielectric pastes for flexible, formable circuitry used in lighting, touch, sensing, and heating.
- Autotype® Films: Hardcoated polyester and polycarbonate films engineered for premium HMI overlays, membrane switches, touch sensors, and durable labels.
- Autotype® Screen-Printing Solutions: Capillex® stencil films, PLUS photopolymer emulsions, and screen preparation chemistries for repeatable, high-resolution printing.
Together, these product families form the validated materials and process ecosystems outlined above. This supports material selection, process development, and supply-chain integration, helping manufacturers improve consistency, yield, and time-to-market across global production sites. These ecosystems focus on four outcomes: design freedom, durable performance, proven quality, and manufacturable cost. By validating materials as part of one system, MacDermid Alpha helps customers move more confidently from prototype to start of production.
Connect With Our Team
Our technical specialists will be available throughout the show to discuss your application, from material selection and design-for-manufacture through qualification and volume production. Bring your challenge; we’ll bring the platform.
