LG Chem said on Oct 6 that it will take part in Fakuma 2026, a European plastics industry exhibition held in Friedrichshafen in southern Germany from Oct 12 to 16, and will present high-performance, high-value materials for automotive and electrical and electronics applications as well as AI data centers, robotics and high-performance breathable film. [ 1 , 2 , 4 , 5 , 6 ]
The company said its booth will be about 70 square metres and organised into three themes: Cost Effective, covering paint-free automotive materials and metal replacement solutions; Sustainability, centred on bio-based materials and low-carbon solutions; and Innovative, presenting next-generation engineering plastics for AI data centers and robotics. [ 1 , 2 , 4 , 5 , 6 ]
According to the reports, more than half of the booth will be given over to customer meetings and technical discussions, and LG Chem will use its in-house SISO integrated simulation solution to help predict and verify product performance at the design stage. [ 1 , 2 , 4 , 5 , 6 ]
Lee Chang-hyun, head of LG Chem's engineering materials business, said customers need not simple materials but next-generation solutions that turn future possibilities into reality, adding that the company will offer such solutions ahead of customer demand to provide new growth opportunities and differentiated value, according to the reports. [ 1 , 2 , 4 , 5 , 6 ]
LG Chem said demand in Europe for lightweight, high-performance materials is growing with the spread of electrification and environmental policy, and that it plans to target the engineering plastics market with a focus on automotive, robotics and AI data centers. One tech outlet described engineering plastics as high-value materials that replace metal to cut product weight and improve energy efficiency. [ 1 , 4 , 5 , 6 ]
All the accounts are based on the company's announcement. No customers, orders or financial targets were disclosed, and no figures were given for how much of LG Chem's business these applications represent. [ 1 , 2 , 4 , 5 , 6 ]
Почему это важно
Fakuma brings together global materials companies and major European manufacturers, and LG Chem is using it to pitch engineering plastics at AI data center and robotics applications alongside its automotive business, which the company says is where European demand for lightweight, high-performance materials is growing. The accounts rest on LG Chem's own announcement, so the significance is the stated European expansion plan rather than any confirmed orders.
