On September 22 and 23, 2026, the AVK hosted the “Composites for Series Production” intensive seminar on SMC/BMC at BYK-Chemie in Wesel. The event offered participants a concise overview of the materials, their processing, and their wide range of applications.
SMC (Sheet Molding Compound) and BMC (Bulk Molding Compound) are well-established material groups in the mobility and infrastructure sectors. At the same time, they open up interesting prospects for future applications—for example, in electric mobility. The seminar covered a wide range of topics: Participants received a comprehensive overview, ranging from the fundamentals of the materials to design and manufacturing processes, as well as their advantages, potential applications, trends, and cost-effectiveness.
Special thanks go to the speakers, who shared their expertise and practical experience, thereby shedding light on the various facets of SMC/BMC technology. Their presentations provided valuable insights into current developments and specific challenges along the process and application chain.
Personal interaction between participants and speakers was also an important part of the event and provided an opportunity to share experiences and gain new insights.
We are pleased to have had two successful days of seminars and look forward to continuing the technical dialogue on fiber-reinforced plastics and their applications.
