On February, 27, 2009, having successfully completed its work, “Composite-Expo 2009” clearly demonstrated that it had managed to solve the problems posed by both the organizer of the exhibition, Exhibition Company “Mir-Expo”, and the exponents.

The main sections of the exhibition were as follows: raw materials for composite materials’ production (resins, glass fiber cloth); additives and modifiers; equipment and technologies for composite materials’ production; composite materials’ treatment tooling, glass-fiber, artificial stone, artificial marble, organic concrete; manufacturing technologies for composite materials with special and defined properties; bonding of composite-based products; surface treatment technologies; composite-based industrial products, composite materials’ use in construction and housing and communal services.

It is worthwhile to point out a significant interest to the exhibition from foreign specialists, who were present at the event both as exponents and visitors as well.

The exhibition has grown as compared to the previous year. It occupied more than 1000 sq. m of space, the number of exponents was 54, including 20 foreign companies from the USA, Germany, France, Italy, Finland, Turkey, Hungary, Macedonia, China, Ukraine, Byelorussia. Such companies, well-known in the industry, as OCV Chambery International, Evonik, Lectra, Science & Technology Testing Center Apatech-Dubna Savelovo Machine-Building Plant JSC, «Mikrosam», Polotsk-Steklovolokno, JSC, AB Universal, LLC, Safit, JSC, Chimex Ltd, Zoltek ZRT, Ranger Italiana, European Transport Systems, LLC, CNBM International corp., Intrey, LLC, Fiberchina, Altair Ruspol, JSC, Chem-Trend, Electroizolit, Joint-Stock Company, RightConsult, Ltd, Bauman Moscow State Technical University (BMSTU) took part in the event.

The International Specialized Exhibition “Polyurethanex” ran concurrently with the “Composite - Expo”, thus giving a wide circle of visitors-specialists an opportunity to see with their own eyes the innovation technologies and samples of integrated products of an actively developing branch of industry – production of new materials for different industries.

The use of new construction materials is a step up to a higher technological level for both producers and consumers of this innovation production. It promotes the development of this prospective branch of industry in Russia.

According to the exponents’ appraisal, the effectiveness of the exhibition surpassed all expectations. It is evidence of the growing demands of the Russian market to use modern innovation technologies in the spheres of construction and housing and communal services, machine-building, ship-building, aviation-space industry, electronics and many others. Implementing the objectives of this major event in Russia, the exhibition is called upon to become an important marketing, scientific-and-research and analytical instrument for all its participants.

Within the framework of the exhibition there ran the R&D conference “The Current State and Growth Prospects of Manufacture and Use of Composite Materials in Russia”, at which the specialists from the Union of Glass Fiber Producers, Stecloplastic, , LIBA GmbH (Germany) , Dow Chemical, Momentive Performance Materials Rus, LLC Steklonit, Avangard, Apateck, read their abstracts on the varioua aspects of the topic.
