The company said April 21 it is taking part in Chinaplas 2026, being held in Shanghai through April 24.
Chinaplas draws about 4,000 companies worldwide and is considered one of the three major global chemical industry exhibitions, along with the U.S. NPE and Germany’s K-SHOW.
Under the theme “e-Mobility & Sustainability,” Kolon Industries is exhibiting automotive engineering-plastics parts and high-strength POM (polyoxymethylene). It plans to highlight its sustainability capabilities with eco-friendly products such as PCR (post-consumer recycled) PA (polyamide) made with recycled plastics and bio-based POM.
In automotive parts, the company is focusing on engineering plastics for electric vehicles. Its PA materials, citing high rigidity, dimensional stability, heat resistance and color stability, can be used for battery pack housings and charging door modules.
Products using high-strength HS POM are also a key display item. The company said HS POM offers at least 10% higher mechanical strength and wear resistance than general POM and is used for auto window motor gears and seat belt parts. A dedicated display zone will be set up around the material.
Kolon Industries is also presenting products for medical and consumer applications, including insulin pens, showerhead parts and cosmetic containers, to underscore quality competitiveness that meets global standards.
As background, the company said it strengthened its high value-added portfolio by merging its engineering plastics subsidiary, Kolon ENP, into the parent company on April 1. It added engineering plastics to its mobility, specialty and chemical businesses as it accelerates a shift toward becoming a global specialty materials company.
“Eco-friendly engineering plastics are an effective solution for building a sustainable industrial ecosystem,” said Jeong Hong-ryeong, head of Kolon Industries’ ENP Business Division. “We will continue to expand our eco-friendly product portfolio based on our technology.”
