Kraiburg TPE supports customers with expertise along the entire value chain
At Fakuma 2026, Kraiburg TPE will present its materials and consulting expertise, regulatory support and globally uniform quality standards. The company will focus on cooperation with customers throughout the development process.
Kraiburg TPE will use Fakuma 2026 to present its comprehensive expertise in materials and consulting alongside its established product portfolio. Rather than focusing on a single product innovation, the company will address the growing importance of development partnerships as regulatory requirements increase, supply chains become more complex and development times shorten. Its trade fair presentation will cover custom-made material solutions, regulatory expertise, globally uniform quality standards, corporate sustainability and close cooperation with customers throughout the development process.
According to the company, volatile markets and increasingly complex supply chains are changing expectations of material manufacturers. At the same time, requirements concerning quality, product availability and regulatory compliance continue to rise. Kraiburg TPE therefore positions its support as extending beyond the supply of thermoplastic elastomers.
"Our customers expect more than a high-quality TPE nowadays. They are looking for a partner who will provide them with long-term support through technical expertise, regulatory know-how and a global presence. It’s precisely these competencies our trade fair appearance will focus on, because they create the highest added value for our customers," says Andreas Pawel, Head of Corporate Communications at Kraiburg TPE.
Support from material selection to mass production
Kraiburg TPE supports customers from the material selection stage through to mass production. Its services also cover regulatory issues and technical requirements, including Regulation (EU) 10/2011, the Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR) and the proposed End-of-Life Vehicles Regulation (ELV). Material testing and the continuous assessment of new regulatory developments supplement this support.
The company operates production sites in Europe, North America and the Asia-Pacific region, supported by an international distribution and service network. This structure is intended to ensure uniform quality standards and reliable delivery worldwide.
Recent investments include accreditation of the test laboratory in accordance with DIN EN ISO/IEC 17025 for selected testing methods, a new extrusion test bench and the digitalization of production and logistics processes. According to Kraiburg TPE, these measures are intended to further strengthen its operational capabilities.
Corporate sustainability and long-term cooperation
Corporate sustainability is a strategic area that the company continues to develop. Its activities include material solutions containing recycled content, measures to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, the Loop TPE offering and transparent sustainability reporting.
Long-term collaboration is also part of the company’s approach. According to Kraiburg TPE, numerous customers in sectors including oral care and construction have used its TPE solutions for more than 40 years.
During Fakuma 2026, the company’s experts will discuss current challenges, individual material solutions and future requirements for TPE applications with visitors.
