Welcome to Global Gate!

Trade fairs have to keep up with the rapid pace of globalisation so they can offer companies access to the world’s main emerging markets. In international trade fair business, it is therefore essential to create professional communication platforms for globally active exhibitors in these markets. Messe Düsseldorf with its subsidiaries and expert partners is now offering you a new service brand – Global Gate – for your global business with the plastics and rubber industry.

One World. One Gate. Unique Global Services. With this positioning, Messe Düsseldorf with its expertise from K has reconfigured itself as the “gateway to the world”. With a new autonomous and expressive service brand that stands for the international strategy of Messe Düsseldorf, for its promise of performance and its customer-focused service. Our own trade fair platforms and strategic alliances with leading trade fairs for plastics and rubber worldwide give you the opportunity to be present in the emerging markets that mean most to you. Global Gate brings together the best of two established brands in international trade fair business. And offers you the best for your business success under a single umbrella.

We look forward to welcoming you.

The expertise that we have accumulated over decades is the key to your gateway to the world. Your Global Gate for Plastics and Rubber. The 50 trade fairs at the Düsseldorf site, 24 of them No. One events in their respective sectors, and over 100 events worldwide have helped to make the Messe Düsseldorf Group one of the most successful international trade fair companies. Our network around the globe comprises 7 subsidiaries and 71 foreign representatives serving 132 countries.

Wherever you want to go into action worldwide, we support you with our trade fair services – from the planning of your trade fair participation through to logistics advice. We see ourselves as service brokers
that go the extra mile to make your trade fair showing a success. New products? New ideas? New strategies? New relations? New markets? No problem. Your Global Gate for Plastics and Rubber is there for all business areas of the rubber and plastics industry, be it raw materials and auxiliaries; machines and equipment; semi-finished products, technical parts and reinforced plastics; or services. All the world’s a village – and Düsseldorf is the point of departure for your Global Gate to doing business worldwide.

In Düsseldorf we have been organising K, the world’s No. One trade fair for the plastics and rubber industry, since 1952. It is THE flagship fair and THE business platform for the entire industry. For innovations and investments. To complement this, our Global Portfolio for Plastics and Rubber also offers you communication platforms in regions and emerging markets around the world. The best basis for your success. Messe Düsseldorf and K are thus also door- and gate-openers for you with such influential plastics and rubber fairs as interplastica in Moscow; Arabplast in Dubai; Plastindia in Gandhinagar, Gujarat; Chinaplas in Guangzhou and Shanghai; and IRAN PLAST in Tehran.
