#179 Composites United Interview about their internationalisation during Kompozyt Expo 2024

🔊 Composites United e.V. on Central Europe's Composites Momentum – Interview with Martin Kretschmann (October 2024)

During the KOMPOZYT-EXPO® in Krakow last October, Composites Lounge hosted an insightful interview with Martin Kretschmann, Project Leader for Internationalisation at Composites United e.V..

The conversation focused on CU’s strategic expansion into Central and Eastern European composites markets, with a particular emphasis on Poland.

💬 Key takeaways from the interview:

Composites United has maintained a three-year partnership with the Polish Cluster of Composite Technologies / Polski Klaster Technologii Kompozytowych.

The association actively facilitates B2B matchmaking between Polish and German companies, including joint booths and delegation exchanges.
Martin Kretschmann, fluent in Polish and based in Berlin, plays a pivotal role in bridging cultural and industrial gaps.

CU’s internationalisation efforts extend beyond Poland, encompassing innovation days and lightweighting initiatives across Germany and Europe.

🚀 In just 10 days, the spotlight will shift to JEC Forum Central Europe, taking place on September 17–18, 2025 in Krakow. This marks the launch of a new format by JEC Group, co-organized with Targi w Krakowie.

This forum is designed to be highly business-focused, offering:

✅ Targeted B2B meetings
✅ A showcase of sustainable materials
✅ Engagement with key markets including Poland, Czech Republic, Slovakia, and Hungary – among Germany’s top trade partners.

🌍 The event will alternate biennially with KOMPOZYT-EXPO®, ensuring continuous regional engagement and innovation.

🎤 Composites Lounge will be on-site with its
