Successful K 2025 for Measuring System Manufacturer SIKORA

The K 2025 trade fair in Düsseldorf was a success for SIKORA, a manufacturer of innovative measurement, control, and sorting technologies. The company recorded a significant increase in visitor numbers compared to the 2022 edition. While most visitors came from Germany, there was also strong international interest, with guests from countries including India, Japan, and Turkey, showing great enthusiasm for the technologies on display.

The company’s appearance at the fair was fully aligned with the K trade fair’s motto: “The Power of Plastics! Green – Smart – Responsible”. SIKORA placed a strong focus on innovative technologies aimed at improving quality and efficiency, reducing material usage, promoting circular economy practices, and enhancing sustainability. The conversations held at the booth were not only numerous but also marked by a high level of technical expertise.

The spotlight was on measuring devices for pipe, tube, and sheet extrusion, as well as inspection, analysis, and sorting systems for plastics production and processing. Highlights included the CENTERWAVE 6000 radar system, which precisely measures tubes and pipes with diameters ranging from 32 to 1,600 mm in terms of wall thickness, outer and inner diameter, and inner profile. Also attracting significant interest was the PLANOWAVE 6000 system, which enables precise and non-contact inline measurement of sheet thickness and density. The AI-powered X-RAY 6000 PRO C-PIPEAI X-ray measurement system for dual-wall corrugated tubes and pipes, along with another X-ray-based solution for single-layer products, impressed the professional audience with their high performance.

One major attraction was the “Human vs. Machine” campaign, where visitors could bring their own pellets or test plates to be analysed with the PURITY CONCEPT V system. The analysis results provided valuable insights into material purity. Another crowd-puller was the PURITY SCANNER ADVANCED system. In a live demonstration, visitors could observe the inspection and sorting of pellets in real-time and experience the system’s efficiency first-hand.

Holger Lieder, General Manager at SIKORA: “The response to our technologies was impressive – we were delighted to welcome not only familiar customers to our booth, but also to establish numerous new contacts. We are particularly pleased that we were able to discuss concrete projects that we will now pursue further together with our partners.”

The lounge area at the booth quickly became a central meeting point for in-depth discussions. Many visitors took the opportunity to exchange ideas personally with the SIKORA experts – especially about individual applications, optimisation potential, and future collaborations.

The after-sales service area was also prominently featured at the booth. Visitors were able to speak directly with service experts and discuss tailored solutions for their specific requirements. There was especially high interest in the offerings of the SIKORA Academy, which provides hands-on training for the devices. These training sessions deliver in-depth knowledge for optimal usage and maintenance – an important contribution to increasing process reliability and efficiency while minimising downtime.

A particularly significant highlight was SIKORA’s first public appearance under its new brand identity and as part of the MAAG Group. The repositioning was very well received by customers and partners and reflect both the company’s technological advancement and its international growth strategy.

With a thoroughly successful trade fair appearance behind, SIKORA looks ahead to the coming months with optimism. The discussions held at K 2025 provided key impulses for new projects and the further development of existing partnerships. SIKORA is already eagerly looking forward to the next K trade fair in 2028.
