C.A.PICARD® Japan participated in the PLASTIC JAPAN, one of the core exhibitions within the Highly-Functional Material Week Osaka 2025, from 14 to 16 May 2025.
Recognised globally as a leading exhibition in the plastics sector, PLASTIC JAPAN showcases a wide array of cutting-edge technologies - ranging from base materials and additives to machinery for moulding, processing and recycling. The exhibition brought together a huge spectrum of plastics-related industries presenting their latest innovations in plastics products, manufacturing technologies and recycling solutions.
We joined the extruder technology area at this expo and were pleased to welcome far more visitors at our booth than initially expected.
The three-day event had approximately 36,000 visitors. At this year’s show, in addition to our full lineup of components for twin-screw extruders, we featured the following highlights:
- Barrel Endoscope: Developed by C.A.PICARD®, this inspection camera enables internal barrel inspection without the need for disassembly.
- FDS (Flexible Dismantling System): This system, controlled by PLC, enables the safe and efficient removal of screw elements from shafts.
We were also able to attend a networking event at the Highly-Functional Film Expo this year, where we achieved meaningful results.
The next expo is scheduled in Tokyo from 12 to 14 November 2025.
After the exhibition, we have started to follow up potential business opportunities. We would like to sincerely thank everyone who stopped at our booth, and we look forward to seeing everyone again at future events.
