Toray Group Booth No. HALL 5/ J5 & J21

Contributing to the Creation
of New Value and a Sustainable Future
Through Technology and Collaboration

Toray Industries, Inc., and five European subsidiaries will join with it to exhibit carbon fiber composites at JEC World 2020. This top international show for the composites industry starts on March 3 and runs through March 5. This will be the first time for all five of those subsidiaries to showcase their wares together as Toray Village.
Toray Group companies will demonstrate those strengths by presenting the key roles of their carbon fiber composite products and technologies in the realms of Mobility, Energy, and Quality of Life & Safety. They will also feature their game-changing recycling initiatives.
