A number of Mat4Rail partners traveled to Paris, France in March 2019 to participate at the JEC World 2019 which was held 12th – 14th March 2019.

The JEC World is known to be the leading international show on composites featuring ground-breaking research and solutions and unique manufacturing and business opportunities. In total, the event attracted over 43,300 visitors and members from CIDETEC, COEXPAIR, AIMPLAS and HUNTSMAN were also part of this 3-day event.

Our partners used this platform to facilitate networking with targeted audiences in the field of composites and to present the new Mat4Rail brochure for the first time. Over 1,300 exhibitors presented their innovative solutions to a large audience. One of these was our partner COEXPAIR, a highly innovative SME from the aeronautics sector.

For Mat4Rail, they use their expertise in composites to make their know-how of innovative processes, the development of out-of-autoclave technologies, their tooling and peripheral equipment available. During the JEC World, COEXPAIR was on site to present themselves but also their contributions to Mat4Rail where they lead WP5 on access door systems.
