Fakuma Plastics Trade Fair - Germany
December 2011
BFA Recently Attended the 21st Fakuma Plastics Trade Fair in Germany
European Innovation, Quality & Still Competitive
The scale of the fair is mindboggling; 1670 exhibitors from 34 countries across 12 halls covering 85,000m2!
BFA was there to meet with our key principles and suppliers including Moretto Plastics Automation, TecaPrint AG and Romi/Sandretto .
The clear takeaway from the show was the significant innovations in energy efficiency. Seeking ways to reduce the carbon footprint has not only led to reduction in power usage but also seen a rethinking of all aspects of machinery and software operations to deliver greater optimisation. BFA’s European partners are at the forefront of these innovations.
It was great to see many Australian manufacturers at the show and the overwhelming sentiment was that European innovation, combined with an outstanding track record of quality delivered longer production life with less maintenance issues. The overall cost/benefit of machines, such as those offered by Moretto, Teca-Print AG and Romi/Sandretto relative
to some of the cheaper imports is once again being proven in the Australian Plastics market.
BFA’s presence at Fakuma further consolidates our already strong relationships with our European partners. They restated their willingness to continue to offer BFA and its client’s equipment that is competitive and designed to meet the needs of the Australian market. Our relationship with our European partners keeps BFA up-to-date with the latest technologies and innovations, and experience in the latest thinking as to the future of the plastics industry.
BFA’s expansion of operations into the Sydney market in 2011, including our new factory and workshop, enables us to offer our Sydney based clients the same exceptional after sales and service support that we have traditionally offered in Melbourne.
