The booth of the European Alliance for SMC was the meeting place for experts in composites. A number of fine new exhibits were on display, mainly from passenger cars, but also from trucks. It has been said, the VDI conference comes a bit too early, because many new SMC projects are underway. There will be many more new SMC components coming up, ready for the VDI show of next year!
