On 4-6 March, EuCIA joins the global composites community in Paris at JEC World 2025, the leading international composites show.
As associations representing the European composites industry, JEC World is a key event for EuCIA and our members. It offers a unique opportunity to present our latest initiatives, and to network, exchange knowledge, and deepen collaborations.
Here, some of our members introduce their plans for the show.
COMPOSITES UK
Composites UK will once again organise the UK Pavilion at JEC World 2025 (Hall 6, Stands S62 and T62), hosting around 20 British companies to showcase the nation’s expertise in composite materials, technologies, and applications.

TURKISH COMPOSITE MANUFACTURERS ASSOCIATION (TCMA)
Türkiye is one of the key players in the market and is experiencing rapid and long-term development. TCMA is a non-profit organisation representing raw material, semi-product, and final product manufacturers, suppliers, and academic institutions of the Turkish composites industry.
There will be 48 Turkish exhibitors and 1 Turkish Pavilion at JEC World 2025. 28 Turkish companies that are members of our association will participate in the event. Among these companies, eight member companies are within the scope of the National Participation Organization. The Turkish Pavilion will be the networking hub to reinforce Türkiye’s important role in the composites market.
As TCMA, we will welcome you to our booth (6N62) under the scope of the Istanbul Chamber of Commerce to discuss possible cooperation opportunities.
NCMT
NCMT is the Norwegian hub at JEC World. In order for our members to get the best outcome and effect of JEC World, we act as a catalyst, setting up meetings with important suppliers where we bring along our members so they can get an overview of where the suppliers and the industry are heading. We also gather our members for a networking dinner during the event.
Another important aspect of NCMT’s JEC participation is that through forums like the gathering of global associations, and the Sustainability Forum, we build and extend the Norwegian industry’s international network. NCMT’s relation to other national associations will affect how the Norwegian industry can either learn from other countries or export their ideas.
AGORIA
For the third consecutive year Agoria Composites, in partnership with AWEX (Walloon Export and Foreign Investment Agency), is organising the Belgian Pavilion at JEC World. This brings together over 20 key players from Belgium’s composites ecosystem, including companies, research institutes, universities, and clusters.
On Tuesday 4 March, we host the Belgian Drink, supported by FIT (Flanders Investment & Trade) and AWEX, a prime networking event attended by the Belgian ambassador.
A special highlight this year is the booth of the UGent Racing Team, a group of students competing in the Formula Electric series. Additionally, on Wednesday 5 March, we will host a Meet & Greet connecting companies with visiting Belgian students, fostering the next generation of composites talent.
Join us at the Belgian Pavilion (Hall 6, R32-42 and S32-42) to explore collaboration opportunities and witness Belgium’s contributions to the future of composites!
