On September 3-5, Dieffenbacher will present its advanced composites solutions for the infrastructure and construction industry at the ACCE Conference in Novi, Michigan.
From September 8-11, the German machine and plant manufacturer will appear at another trade fair in the U.S., at booth D79 at CAMX in Orlando, Florida. “Trade fair month” concludes with the China Composites Expo in Shanghai, September 16-18, where Dieffenbacher will highlight solutions for the automotive industry at booth 7L41.
At all three trade fairs, Dieffenbacher will present products and solutions integrated into its portfolio following the acquisition of the composites business of Schmidt & Heinzmann in November 2024. “Visitors to the trade fairs in the US and China will find SMC solutions in the form of production lines for semi-finished materials, cutting systems, cutting and stacking units and wide roving cutters,” said Michael Ochs, director sales Schmidt & Heinzmann at Dieffenbacher.
“We’ll showcase applications for the construction and infrastructure sector from Dieffenbacher customer projects, including components for railroad and telecommunications infrastructure and door skins,” said Marco Hahn, director sales of the forming business unit at Dieffenbacher. “Attendees will also learn about our custom solution that supports our US customer Xerxes in the manufacture of underground stormwater tanks used as intermediate buffers during heavy rainfall,” Hahn continues.
Dieffenbacher offers the automotive industry material- and energy-efficient plant concepts for reducing energy and manufacturing costs. “With our decades of experience as a general contractor, we implement customised complete plants from development and engineering to commissioning and beyond,” explained Hahn. “We also advise our customers on the most economical manufacturing process and ensure the smooth operation and continuous availability of every Dieffenbacher and Schmidt & Heinzmann plant with customized modernization solutions and our 24/7 service. In this way, we ensure that ever shorter cycle times can be maintained without problems and reproduced.”

From 1 January 2026, all bunker vessels operating in the ports of Rotterdam and Antwerp-Bruges must use a Mass Flow Meter (MFM) when delivering residual distillates (fuel oil and diesel) and biofuels. This system measures exactly how much fuel goes from the bunker ship to the seagoing vessel. The aim is to make the bunker market in both ports more reliable, efficient, and transparent. Once the MFM system is implemented, it must also be certified.
