Themed presentation "Lightweight Construction"

Due to the finite supply of natural resources, intelligent lightweight construction systems are playing an increasingly important role in virtually all sectors of industry. Lightweight construction materials and designs represent a groundbreaking method of cutting down on energy and material needs, enhancing the efficiency and cost-effectiveness of products and systems in the process. Lightweight construction has developed into an innovations driver, guaranteeing its industrial users a series of key competitive advantages.

This cutting-edge technology has had its own dedicated segment at HANNOVER MESSE since 2010 - the Lightweight Construction Display Sector in Hall 6. The display sector features products and systems made of lightweight materials as well as lightweight construction technologies and vertical-market lightweight construction solutions. A centrally located Solutions Area plus a high-caliber speakers and discussion forum offers leading specialists an international platform to explore the latest topics and leading-edge solutions.

"The Lightweight Construction presentation at Hannover Messe points the way to the future. This is because products designed for the world of tomorrow need to conserve on our limited resources. Economic and ecological considerations should not be considered contradictory in product development, but complementary and symbiotic."
