At K 2025, from October 8 to 15, in Düsseldorf, Germany, the Rubber Street in Hall 6 will once again be a hotspot for all visitors interested in elastomer innovations. This Rubber Street will be organized jointly by the wdk (German Rubber Manufacturers Association) and Messe Düsseldorf.

Rubber Street will once again be held at K 2025.

Rubber Street has a long tradition at K in Düsseldorf since 1983, organized as a “showcase for the rubber industry”.

Exhibitors on the entire elastomer value chain

With a total of 19 main and sub-exhibitors, the 500 square meter special area in Hall 6 is completely booked out. The exhibitors' portfolio reflects the entire elastomer value chain – suppliers of raw materials, rubber and TPE compounders are represented here, as are elastomer processors, scientific institutes, networks and the recycling sector.

The exhibitors at Rubber Street 2025 are: Allod Werkstoff, the AZuR Network with eight partners, Ekochem, Gummiwerk Kraiburg, Jiangyin Hetron Elastomer New Material Technology, M.O.L. Gummiverarbeitung, Kraiburg TPE, Kraiburg Walzenfertigung, Ravago Petrokimya Üretim, SFC Solutions und Synthos Schkopau.

Circular economy in the area

For the first time, a flooring system made from recycled tire rubber will be laid on Rubber Street. A puzzle click system enables an easy installation and prevents the soft mats from slipping apart. Not only are they versatile and easy to clean, they also offer relaxation and comfort for the weary feet of exhibitors and visitors.

Unlike conventional disposable exhibition flooring, the durable mats can be used multiple times and completely recycled at the end of their life cycle, optimizing the carbon footprint of exhibition stand builders and exhibitors alike.

The innovative flooring comes from MRH Mülsen GmbH, a partner company of the NEW LIFE initiative, which is also exhibiting at the AZuR network stand.
