Practical information

Date: 10 November 2026
Time: 10:00–15:00

Location: Technical University of Denmark (DTU), Lyngby

The event takes place at DTU – one of Europe’s leading technical universities and a central hub for engineering and technological development.

We will also provide sandwiches during the day, so you can stay, network and make the most of the event.

Meet companies from the plastics industry

At the exhibition, you can meet companies from across the plastics industry working with everything from materials and manufacturing to advanced technological solutions.

You will have the opportunity to talk to them about their work, projects and need for engineers – and learn how you can get involved through internships, student jobs or as a recent graduate.

Erteco
Erteco is one of the largest distributors of plastic materials and rubber raw materials in the Nordic market. Its portfolio ranges from products such as natural rubber, polyolefins and polystyrene to more advanced composite materials.

Berry Superfos
Berry Superfos is a global company with more than 2,400 employees in over 35 countries. The company designs, develops and produces innovative plastic packaging solutions for both food and non-food products, including injection-moulded and thermoformed packaging.

What is Plastic Engineering Denmark?

Take a look around – plastic is part of far more products than you might think. When used responsibly, it helps solve some of society’s major challenges.

But plastic also creates problems when it is used incorrectly or not recycled well enough. This is where new solutions are needed – and where engineers can make a real difference.

Plastic Engineering Denmark is Plastindustriens initiative to focus on exactly that: how plastic can be used more intelligently, and how you as an engineer can help drive that development.
