ETD 2026

Thermoforming is one of the most dynamic manufacturing processes in the plastics industry, driving innovation, efficiency, and competitiveness. However, requirements are increasing: material costs, sustainability demands, and competitive pressure are noticeably rising. This is precisely why expertise and collaboration are more important today than ever before.

The 14th European Thermoforming Conference in 2026 offers the ideal platform for this exchange. From March 3 to 5, 2026, industry experts, decision-makers, and innovators will gather in Strasbourg to discuss practical solutions for improving efficiency, ensuring process stability, advancing digitalization, and promoting sustainability. Senoplast is proud to be part of this premier event and support the conference as a sponsor.

You can look forward to keynote speeches by:

• Axel von Wiedersperg (Brueckner Group)

• Olivier Laigre (Faerch)

• Gérard Liraut (Renault Group)

• Conor Carlin (Clefs Advisory)

• Thomas Reiner (Berndt + Partner)

The conference brings together the entire value chain, including machine and tool manufacturers, material suppliers, and processors. The focus is on practical case studies and best practices.

Key topics include stable processing of recycled materials, monomaterial concepts in line with the Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR), energy-efficient production, and data-driven solutions.
