Leading international heating systems specialist and manufacturer Ceramicx is partnering with German heating experts Freek to exhibit at the prestigious triennial plastics industry exhibition in Dusseldorf this Autumn. Both companies will share an exhibition space at the K show 2010, which runs at the Dusseldorf Messe, Germany, from Wednesday October 27th to Wednesday November 3rd. Ceramicx Founder and Managing Director Frank Wilson says ‘that we are delighted to be teaming up at K 2010 with a company of such quality as Freek. Last Autumn, Freek already wowed the plastics sector at the Fakuma show with its innovative all-in solutions for nozzle heating and SMA clamping systems "ThermoLock" and "ThermoDrive. The Freek developments in miniaturisation of  manifold heaters were also extremely impressive and many more heating innovations are set to be unveiled by them and by ourselves at the Dusseldorf show this October this year.’ Freek manager Stefan Düllmann says that ‘Ceramicx is the only company on the market which manufactures the complete range of infrared heaters – long, medium and short wave. The ceramic heating elements are perfectly developed for each application, reasonably priced and available on short notice. Furthermore,’ adds Düllmann, ‘Ceramicx has gained a huge knowledge on all details of infrared heating. Superb technical support is always guaranteed. Managing Director Wolfgang Kaiser urges customers of the plastics industry – such as thermoformers, packagers and others using heat-forming to attend this year’s K exhibition. ‘The world’s plastics industry and business world will be visiting Düsseldorf this Autumn. Of that there will be no doubt and Freek is looking forward very much to working the exhibition together with Ceramicx. For some fifteen years, both Ceramicx and Freek have been part of a European network in industrial heating systems called EUCOPET - raising the bar for product quality and creating price competitiveness throughout the European industry. Freek reaches its 60th anniversary this year and a strong showing at K Show 2010 with Ceramicx will provide the perfect celebration. Both companies have recently expanded: Ceramicx most recently has been working with the University of Limerick on new quality assurance and testing technology that will see the company create new markets for its industrial clients and also enable the industrial heat consultants at Ceramicx to develop infrared heating innovations for new consumer markets this year. Over the course of the next few months, and via the resources of the Internet, Ceramicx will be able to put this QA database online – for the benefit of all its customers, present and future. Ceramicx believes that this is a first for the industry – and will be showing many elements of the process and benefits at the K Show 2010.
