Listgrove at K 2025: Supporting Talent Across the Plastics Industry

This October, the global plastics industry will once again come together in Düsseldorf for K 2025, the world’s leading trade fair for plastics and rubber. Listgrove is delighted to be attending as the specialist recruitment partner for companies operating across plastics, packaging, chemicals, and sustainability. With over 50 years of experience, our expertise spans international retained search, succession planning, interim management, and outplacement support, ensuring businesses secure the technical, commercial, and leadership talent they need to thrive.

A major focus of this year’s event is the “Young Talents” initiative, which highlights the importance of developing the next generation of plastics professionals. From school pupils to graduates, tomorrow’s workforce will play a crucial role in advancing sustainability, medical innovation, and mobility solutions.

At Listgrove, we recognise that successful recruitment strategies rely on more than filling immediate vacancies, they require building teams that blend the knowledge of seasoned experts with the fresh perspectives of younger professionals. By advising our clients on long-term talent planning, we help ensure that businesses are well equipped to attract, integrate and retain emerging talent alongside experienced leaders.

We welcome K 2025’s commitment to young professionals and believe it reflects a vital truth: the plastics industry must not only celebrate its heritage but also invest in its future. As a recruitment partner, we are committed to supporting that future by connecting companies with the right people at every stage of their career journey.
