MIXACO at International Trade Shows

A Look Back at the First Half of 2026

The first half of 2026 was marked by numerous international trade show appearances for MIXACO. For us, trade shows are much more than just a place to showcase machines and technologies. They serve as an important platform for direct interaction with customers, partners, and prospective clients; for making new contacts; for gaining market insights; and for personal discussions about specific requirements and future projects.

This direct exchange is particularly valuable in an industry with such a strong international focus. It fosters closer ties, strengthens existing relationships, and at the same time gives us the opportunity to showcase our mixing technology in various markets and applications.

International Presence in Key Markets

The first half of 2026 was marked by a strong international trade show presence for MIXACO. The focus was primarily on a few key highlights: In Asia, trade shows such as CHINAPLAST, PLAST INDIA, and CIBF were particularly important for showcasing our mixing technology in dynamic markets for plastics, PVC, and battery applications. In Europe, events such as Plastpol, Equiplast, PLAST Milan, and the Battery Show Europe served as important platforms for discussing plastic applications, compounds, PVC processes, and modern battery materials. This was complemented by additional trade events in North America and Africa, where we were also able to hold valuable discussions with customers, partners, and industry contacts.

These trade show appearances demonstrate the breadth of MIXACO’s international presence and the diversity of requirements for modern mixing technology across different markets and applications. At the same time, it became clear once again that trade shows are much more to us than mere exhibition spaces: They are venues for direct exchange, new ideas, personal encounters, and a better understanding of the needs of our customers worldwide.

Strong Presence in Asia

Asia was a key focus during the first half of the year. Trade shows such as CHINAPLAST 2026, PLAST INDIA, Vinyl India, the Interbattery Show, and CIBF 2026 provided valuable opportunities to showcase our technologies in dynamic and rapidly growing markets.

It is precisely in these regions that the high demand for reliable, flexible, and application-oriented mixing technology is evident both for traditional plastics and PVC processes and for modern battery applications and new material developments. At the same time, these trade show appearances underscore the importance of our international presence and our growing commitment in Asia.

Europe as a Key Market for Plastics, PVC, and Specialty Applications

MIXACO was also represented at numerous major events in Europe during the first half of the year. These included, among others, Exposolidos 2026, SOLIDS, Plastpol, Equiplast 2026, PLAST MILAN 2026, and the (SPE) Extrusion Division TOPCON.

These events provided the ideal setting for engaging with customers and partners on mixing technology for plastics, PVC, masterbatches, compounds, coatings, and bulk materials. It became particularly clear just how much emphasis is placed on topics such as process reliability, reproducibility, product quality, and efficient production processes.

Battery Applications as a Growing Field for the Future

With the BATTERY SHOW EUROPE, the Interbattery Show, and CIBF 2026, MIXACO was also represented at several key platforms for battery applications. This environment demonstrates just how rapidly the demands on mixing technology are evolving in new and technologically sophisticated fields of application.

Process control, material behavior, temperature management, and reliable mixing processes play a central role, particularly when it comes to battery materials. The trade shows therefore provided valuable opportunities to discuss current developments, new requirements, and the role of innovative mixing technology in this future-oriented market.

Inspiration from North America and Africa

MIXACO was also present in North America and Africa. Events such as MD&M West, the SPE International Polyolefins Conference, the PPFA Spring Meeting, and Coatings for Africa highlighted just how diverse the requirements are in different regional markets.

These trade show appearances not only helped us maintain existing contacts and build new ones, but also gave us a better understanding of market trends and industry-specific requirements.

More Than Just Trade Show Appearances

What all the events in the first half of the year have in common is not only the presentation of our mixed-media technology, but above all the opportunity for personal interaction. Trade shows give us the chance to better understand market demands, gain new insights, and contextualize our technologies through direct dialogue.

This isn’t just about individual machines or applications. It’s about trust, transparency, partnerships, and direct contact with the people behind the projects.

A Strong First Half of the Year for Trade Shows

The first half of 2026 has shown just how important trade shows continue to be for MIXACO: as a place to meet with customers, as a platform to showcase our technologies, and as a venue for new ideas and international networking.

We would like to extend our heartfelt thanks to all our colleagues, partners, and representatives who have represented, supported, and accompanied MIXACO at various events over the past few months.

We’re looking forward to everything that’s still to come in the second half of the year.
