Exhibition Introduction
The Value of Participating in the Dutch Silicone Expo Europe
- The Silicone Expo Europe is the only specialized trade fair in Europe dedicated exclusively to organic silicon materials. As a core component of Materials Week Europe, it has evolved into a strategic platform that connects global resources across the organic silicon value chain, showcases cutting-edge technological achievements, and sets the tone for industry development trends Organized annually by UK-based Select Global Exhibitions at the RAI Amsterdam International Convention and Exhibition Centre, it stands as Europe’s sole professional trade show focused on silicon materials.
- The core value of participation lies in its precise alignment with the high-end European organic silicon market, combined with the synergistic effects of multi-exhibition collaboration within “Materials Week Europe”. In 2026, the event was upgraded for the first time to “Materials Week Europe,” co-hosted alongside five other specialized exhibitions—the Gasket & Seal Show, Speciality Polymers World, The Magnetics Show, and others—held simultaneously at the same venue. This innovative format attracts a broader audience, creating a strategic gateway for exhibitors to engage directly with procurement decision-makers across industries such as automotive, healthcare, electronics, and aerospace.
- The exhibition provides a one-stop commercial platform covering the entire organic silicon value chain. Exhibits span all categories, including organic silicon raw materials (resins, fluids, silicone rubber, silane coupling agents), silicone gels and related products (conductive gels, medical-grade gels, liquid gels), silicon-based products (semiconductor materials, solar photovoltaic cells), as well as manufacturing, processing, and testing equipment. Participating companies represent every link in the global organic silicon supply chain—from manufacturers and distributors to buyers and industry experts—making it the only specialized trade platform exclusively devoted to silicon materials.
- The exhibition keeps pace with three major industry trends—high-performance materials, green manufacturing, and cross-industry applications—building a hub for deep integration among academia, industry, research, and end-users. Concurrent high-level technical conferences feature industry experts sharing cutting-edge technologies, innovative R&D breakthroughs, and emerging industry trends. Exhibits find applications across diverse sectors, including automotive, healthcare, electronics, construction, and aerospace. Silicone materials, prized for their superior flexibility, weather resistance, and biocompatibility, continue to enjoy strong demand in high-end fields such as medical devices, automotive seals, electronic components, and aerospace sealing elements.
- For Chinese enterprises, this exhibition serves as a strategic gateway to expand into the European market, connect with international resources, and showcase innovative strengths. Amidst ongoing geopolitical tensions driving up energy and raw material costs in Europe, local businesses face mounting cost pressures and are actively seeking cost-effective alternatives, creating favorable conditions for Chinese firms to enter the European market. At the 2025 edition, numerous Chinese silicone companies—including Jiangxi Better New Materials—made a strong showing, presenting a full lineup of dimethyl silicone oils, vinyl silicone oils, hydrogen-containing silicone oils, and 107 silicone rubbers, drawing significant attention from international buyers and fully demonstrating the global competitiveness and innovative vitality of China’s silicone industry.
