Plastics Hall of Fame Gala Held in Düsseldorf in 2025

Plastics Hall of Fame Gala Held in Düsseldorf in 2025

For the first time, the induction ceremony of the “Plastics Hall of Fame Class of 2025” will be held outside the USA. The ceremony will take place on October 7, 2025, the eve of K 2025, the global trade fair for plastics and rubber, in Düsseldorf. Induction into the Plastics Hall of Fame is a recognition of both living and deceased personalities who have made major contributions to influencing and driving the plastics industry.

Commenting on this Maureen Steinwall, President Hall of Fame, says: “K in Düsseldorf offers the ideal platform to further promote the internationalisation of the "Plastics Hall of Fame" and to honor individuals from all over the world who have made a special contribution to the international success of the plastics industry.”

The "Plastics Hall of Fame" was inaugurated in 1972. At the beginning, only important individuals from the US were recognised. With increasing globalisation of the plastics industry, the need to also acknowledge the global accomplishments and innovations in this area was apparent. This is why starting in 2004 international nominations were also accepted. This step made it possible to recognise outstanding achievements and pioneering developments by experts from all over the world and stress the global importance of the plastics industry. The Plastics Hall of Fame currently has 235 members from 10 countries.

“We are delighted that the Plastics Hall of Fame has chosen K as the venue for its first gala outside the US. This means there will be another glamorous highlight on the eve of K 2025,” says Thomas Franken, Director K at Messe Düsseldorf.

Every 18 months the newly elected members are honoured as part of a ceremony. The board of the Plastics Hall of Fame Inc. acts as a screening committee for the nominations, which are then checked and voted upon by the current members.

Nominations for the “Plastics Hall of Fame Class of 2025” are now open until late February 2025.
