Composites For End-Users Showcased At The 9th JEC Asia Pacific International Composites Event: Suntec Center, Singapore — November 15-17, 2016

SINGAPORE — June 17, 2016 — For the 9th consecutive year, the JEC Asia International Composites event will settle in at the Suntec Center in Singapore for another three-day event starting on November 15, 2016. “Asia is fast at building infrastructures, offering mass transportation and producing light devices,” asserts Frédérique Mutel, JEC Group President & CEO. “Consequently, a platform like JEC Asia presenting new recyclable materials and products is most appreciated. While in 2015, the Asian Composites market was worth USD 31.78 billion, i.e. 43-percent of the worldwide market, by 2030, Asia should account for 60% of worldwide composites production.”

“The Asian Composites market is complex and heterogeneous,” added Christian Strassburger, JEC Group, Asia Director. “JEC Asia is one of the only international platforms to reflect this diversity.”

End-User markets: A key topic at JEC Asia 2016

In 2015, JEC Asia was visited by 52 percent of end-user companies from 43 countries. In 2016, the industries represented will include Automotive & Transportation, Construction & Building, Oil & Gas, Wind Energy and Aerospace. As regards the latter, the Aerospace Composites Circle will take place once again on the second day of JEC Asia, gathering key players from this industry for a networking and knowledge sharing session.

Moreover, 3 conferences out of 5 will address developments in end-user industries such as carbon fiber in mass production vehicles, low maintenance costs in
aircraft, and also market drivers in off-shore activities.

Thailand Country Of Honor

The Kingdom of Thailand has been chosen as Country Guest of Honor at JEC Asia 2016, in recognition of the serious efforts by its industry to develop their composites activities through a solid combination of developing companies, structured associations and committed institutions.

To highlight and support this commitment, the JEC Group, in partnership with the Thai Composites Association, is organizing a 2-day International Composites Conference in Bangkok on the topic “Composites in Rail and Automotive”, including top-level conferences and sites visits. This event will take place at the Pullman G in Bangkok on 15-16 June 2016. Free to attend subject to registration, this conference will involve all the composites decision-makers in Thailand and neighboring countries and encourage them to take part in the bigger event: JEC Asia 2016.
