K-Alliance: New Brand for Messe Düsseldorf's Global Plastics and Rubber Network

Messe Düsseldorf is repositioning its international plastics and rubber portfolio under the new umbrella brand K-Alliance. Replacing the previous "Global Gate", K-Alliance puts a clear spotlight on strong partnerships and strategic alliances that support global market access for the industry.

  • Plastics & Rubber Indonesia
