The EPC Engineering & Technology team will be attending FAKUMA 2026 in Friedrichshafen and is available for meetings on 14 and 15 October 2026.

As a global acting technology and engineering partner, we are always interested in discussing new challenges and opportunities within the plastics and recycling industry. Our focus includes plant design, revamp and retrofit solutions, as well as innovative recycling technologies that support greater efficiency and sustainability.

Our colleagues will be actively visiting the exhibition and would be pleased to connect with companies, technology providers, customers, and industry partners for an open exchange on current projects, future developments, and potential cooperation opportunities.

From 15 to 17 September 2026, EPC Engineering & Technologies will participate in the Fastmarkets European Battery Raw Materials Conference in Budapest, one of Europe’s leading industry events bringing together stakeholders from across the battery raw materials value chain, including gigafactories, Direct Lithium Extraction (DLE) developers, cathode material producers, OEMs, energy storage companies, recyclers and investors.
Representing EPC at the event will be Karol Kerrane, Managing Director, and Lars Hafermann, Technology Specialist.
As the EPC contractor for Europe’s first lithium hydroxide refinery in Bitterfeld-Wolfen, Germany, EPC has gained unique expertise in the design, engineering and execution of complex lithium and battery materials projects. This landmark project demonstrates our capability to transform innovative technologies into industrial-scale production facilities and to successfully scale projects from pilot and demonstration plants to commercial operation.

Our capabilities include:
• Lithium hydroxide and lithium chemicals facilities
• Direct Lithium Extraction (DLE)
• Process development and technology integration
• Scale-up of pilot, demonstration and first-of-a-kind plants
• Basic and detailed engineering
• EPC and EPCM project execution
• Modular, skid-mounted and conventional plant solutions

The global demand for lithium as a critical raw material for batteries and the energy transition continues to grow. At the same time, innovative and sustainable lithium extraction technologies are gaining increasing attention across the industry. Against this backdrop, EPC Engineering & Technologies will attend the **Direct Lithium Extraction Europe 2026 in Munich, one of the leading industry conferences dedicated to Direct Lithium Extraction (DLE) and advanced lithium processing technologies. The event brings together technology providers, project developers, lithium producers, investors, and engineering experts from across Europe and beyond to discuss the latest developments and future challenges shaping the lithium industry.

At EPC Engineering & Technologies, our focus will be on:
• Scale-up from laboratory and pilot facilities to commercial production
• Pilot and demonstration plants for DLE technologies
• Modular and skid-mounted plant solutions
• Accelerated project execution through off-site fabrication
• Sustainable process solutions for the mining and chemical industries

The first phase of the modernisation of the existing electrical system, focusing on the supply infrastructure, has been successfully completed and commissioned.

XFAB in Erfurt is a leading semiconductor manufacturer that develops and produces customised integrated circuits (ICs) and microsystems, particularly for applications in automotive, industrial and medical technology.

As part of the project, four transformers were replaced after around 40 years of operation in order to sustainably strengthen the power supply to the auxiliary services hall and increase operational reliability.

EPC Engineering & Technologies was responsible for the planning and construction supervision of the project. The work was carried out by WEA Wärme- und Energieanlagenbau GmbH from Erfurt.

EPC congratulates Zhangzhou CHIMEI Chemical Co., Ltd. on the successful completion and commissioning of the 180 KTPA Polycarbonate Project located in Zhangzhou, China. Throughout the whole project execution period, both companies worked hard and closely together to ensure a successful project execution.

Mr. Karol Kerrane, Managing Director of EPC, congratulated the CHIMEI and EPC teams who together created this successful story, showcasing the strength and expertise of both companies in the Polycarbonate industry by delivering a world-class Polycarbonate plant.

EPC Engineering & Technologies will participate in CHINAPLAS 2026, presenting selected key technologies for the plastics industry. The company’s focus includes advanced polycarbonate technologies, plant modernization solutions, and innovative recycling and compounding concepts.

EPC Engineering & Technologies GmbH will exhibit at CHINAPLAS 2026 – The 38th International Exhibition on Plastics and Rubber Industries, taking place from April 21 to 24, 2026, at the Shanghai World Exhibition & Convention Center (Hongqiao). CHINAPLAS is recognized as one of the leading international trade fairs for the plastics and rubber industries and serves as an important platform for technological innovation and global exchange.

EPC Engineering & Technologies will be represented at the German Pavilion, Hall 2.1, Booth F06, where the company will present its latest engineering capabilities, technologies, and project experience. A key highlight will be the company’s latest polycarbonate technology, designed to enhance production efficiency, product quality, and sustainability.

In addition, EPC Engineering & Technologies will showcase its expertise in plant revamping and modernization of existing polycarbonate and polyester plants. These solutions aim to upgrade installed production assets, improve operational performance, and align facilities with current market requirements and sustainability standards.
