KRAIBURG TPE supports customers with expertise along the entire value chain

As regulatory requirements increase, supply chains become more complex and development times get shorter, strong development partners are becoming increasingly important. At Fakuma 2026, KRAIBURG TPE will be showing how material expertise, regulatory know-how and long-term partnerships help customers successfully overcome these challenges.

Instead of focusing on a single product innovation, KRAIBURG TPE will be presenting its comprehensive expertise in materials and consulting in addition to its established product portfolio at Fakuma 2026. The focus will be on know-how, custom-made material solutions, regulatory expertise, globally uniform quality standards, corporate sustainability and close collaboration with customers throughout the entire development process.

Development partners for increasingly demanding requirements

Increasing regulatory requirements, volatile markets and complex supply chains are changing the expectations placed on material manufacturers. At the same time, quality, product availability and regulatory compliance requirements are increasing. KRAIBURG TPE supports customers in ways that go far beyond simply supplying a material.

“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.

KRAIBURG TPE accompanies customers all the way from selecting materials through to mass production and also helps them with regulatory issues and technical requirements. These include Regulation (EU) 10/2011, the Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR) as well as the proposed End-of-Life Vehicles Regulation (ELV). Material testing and continuous evaluation of new regulatory developments supplement this offer.

Global quality and corporate sustainability

With production sites in Europe, North America and the Asia-Pacific region as well as an international distribution and service network, KRAIBURG TPE guarantees uniform quality standards and reliable delivery structures worldwide. Investments such as the 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 are further enhancing the company’s performance.

Corporate sustainability is a strategic field of activity that KRAIBURG TPE continuously develops. This includes, among other things, material solutions with recycled content, measures to reduce greenhouse gas emissions as well as offers such as Loop TPE and transparent sustainability reporting.

Partnership as a factor for success

Long-term collaboration is an essential part of the company’s philosophy. Numerous customers from sectors such as oral care or the building industry have been relying on KRAIBURG TPE’s TPE solutions for over 40 years.

At Fakuma 2026, the company invites visitors to speak with its experts about current challenges, individual material solutions and future requirements for TPE applications.
