K is the international trade fair for plastics and rubber and takes place every three years. In 2025 it brought 3,246 exhibitors from 65 countries and 168,660 visitors from 157 countries; 73 percent of visitors came from abroad. We photograph machines, granules and parts so material and function become readable, and film the conversations at your stand (booth).

Macro shots of grain, colour and surface so buyers can compare materials.
Machines from a raised position, polarising filter against reflections on smooth housings.
Transmitted and raking light for wall thickness, gloss and clarity.
Architecture and lighting before the rush, with no visitors in frame.
Statements from sales staff and international customers in German or English, with subtitles.
One machine cycle from injection to removal as a 30-second highlight.
Plastic is a material of contrasts for a camera. Transparent parts and films let hall light through and show the neighbouring stand behind them, granules are small grains that look like a grey heap without a macro shot, and injection moulding machines are large blocks with smooth housings that reflect everything. We use transmitted and raking light so wall thickness, gloss and colour are recognisable, shoot granules and compounds in macro, and take machines from a raised position with a polarising filter.
For parts we show a sample on a neutral background and next to it in context, for instance as a housing, packaging or vehicle component. Recycled materials and bioplastics get their own shot, because buyers want to compare colour and surface there.
A machine only makes sense when it runs: plasticising, injecting, demoulding, the part drops or is taken out by a robot. We film this cycle in one clean set-up and capture what the visitor otherwise sees only live, with sound and without hall noise in the commentary wherever someone speaks. On top come statements from sales staff and customers, in German or English, with subtitles.
At K 2025 the organiser showed, among other things, an official special show, the VDMA forum, a Science Campus and a start-up zone. For 2028 preparations have begun, and themes and special shows are still open. If you speak in a forum, we cover the appearance once it is fixed.
K runs for eight days and includes two weekend days, 21 and 22 October. The opening Wednesday suits overviews while the stand is freshly built and empty. Conversations with customers from overseas are best filmed in the first half of the week, while your sales team is still fresh. Visitor opening hours for 2028 are not yet published, so we fix time windows only shortly before the show.
Because K takes place only every three years, your material stays current for a long time: for product sheets, website, sales and social media clips until the next edition.
Tell us the date, your stand and what the images are for. You normally get a fixed-price quote within 24 hours, with no hidden line items.
We bring our own equipment, follow an agreed shot list and work discreetly, without interrupting conversations or demos. A first selection is ready while the show day is still running.
Finished photos and video for LinkedIn, PR, your website and social media via a private download link, at the latest 24 hours after the event ends. Two revision rounds included.
From €990 plus VAT for two hours of photo and video on site with at least 30 edited images and a 30-second highlight video. Four hours from €1,490, a full show day from €1,990. Travel to Düsseldorf is included.
With transmitted and raking light on a neutral background. That makes clarity, wall thickness and edges visible without the neighbouring stand showing through.
No. The organiser's advisory board has started preparations, and key themes and special shows have not yet been named. Once your talk or forum appearance is fixed, we plan photos and recording around it.
On the first show day, Wednesday 18 October, for overviews before opening. Conversations and running machines we film on the days your sales team has the most appointments.
Yes. Interviews, briefing and the entire engagement run in English — a large share of our trade fair clients come from outside Germany. Invoices with VAT ID for EU companies, no German VAT for companies outside the EU.
Send us your hall, stand number and the machine or material you want to feature. We will propose a time window and a fixed-price quote.
We normally reply within 24 hours. For short-notice bookings during a show week, please call.
